hall, president of tha East Bide bank;
Pan Kellaher, grocers A. H. Wlllets,
grocer; F. KlndorfK. H. Pomeroy and

Bualneaa Men's club. .
Councilman Dan Kellaher, spokesman
tfor tha wrathful citlaens, after first cor
nering young Mr. Thatcher In tha office
of the storeroom on Eaat Ankeny near
Grand avenue, wanted to know why tha
company had not put a' force of men to
work on Grand avenue Instead of out in
tha suburbs, where the phones were
not so necessary and where the service
waa worth only tl a month to the com
pany, while tha business men on Grand
avenue who were paying from tt to tit
a. month were left cut off from any
communication with tha bualness centers
of the west side upon which they ware
greatly dependent
J. A. Btrowbrtdge said that his resi
dence phone had been - In commission
for a week while his business telephone
waa aot working at all. H.,H.-NewhaU
wished to knew why soma of the tele
phones on Grand avenue were fixed,
while others were not. The questions
came so fast that Mr. Thatcher waa
hardly able to comprehend what waa
happening.
Mr. Thatcher waa unable to give satis
factory explanations, but promised that
today something would be dona In the
meantime C. K. Hickman, on tha west
aide, was called up and he told Kellaher
he would be "right over" to rescue
young Thatcher. And as tha delegation
waa coming down Grand avenue after
the above Interview Mr. Hickman's auto
mobile swung around tha corner of East
-Morrison street. , .
The thing waa gone over again. Mr.
Hickman said that the damage on Grand
.avenue was severe and that some pf tha
' circuits had burned out In tha office
and some new poles would have to be
set, which explained the fact that some
telephones could be easily fixed while
ethers would taka weeks to repair,, as
no city carried enough t expert . Inside
men to meet such an emergency as tha
"silver thaw" of last week. Ha thought
that by today they could repair the
Grand avenue lines.
