PHONE, POWER UNITS SETTLE DIFFERENCES Difficulties hetwMn ih. m- Bids telephone company and the Mountain States Power com any wen settled In County Judge Sieg mond'a office Thursday afternoon When th Iclenhm jothm.- , r ' - """J age ecu to withdraw charges against the power company on receipt of (300 which the Dower rnmnon, ntrarM to pay. Members of the phone company's board declared that for 2 years the lines gave good service until the Mountan States company erected Its lines across the road. For the pa. six months, they declared, the ser vice has been virtually unusable be cause of the hum and singing on the lines which they are positive was caused by the location of the power line. Chairman Klrsch declared that when he granted free to the power company use of his land on which to put anchor posts for their lines that he had a distinct agreement with representatives of the power company that the Installation of the power line would in no manner Interfere wth the telephone lines and that they would be In as good shape when the work was done as before. "Didn't they agree merely as to the mechanical perfection of the line and not as to Its operation?" asked Oale Hill. The agreement was that the line would be In as good shape as it was before the power line was put In,' said Klrsch, "and for 22 years we had as good service u could be ob tainable. The Mountain States representa- Uvea asserted that the line was not in compliance with the standard rules and regulations and that while they always paid all damages which arose because of the Installation of their new lines, they could not and would not pay tor the nietalltclsins of a circuit, because that was re quired under the law as it now stood and what they termed as obsolete type of equipment was causing the trouble and should not have been there In the first place. For all other damages such as moving poles, the .company declared It wa ready to nay a reasonable price. - The telephone lines Involved run up from Stayton, to Mehama and Lyons and go back Into the hills through wooded country.
