The opinion prevailed some years ago that two telephone Companies would reduce the price and give better ser vice, but It das been learned by experience that it not only doubles the expense to the people, but it is an awful nuisance. In some cities these duolicite companies secure franchises under the name of co operative companies, when a number of people organized and secured privileges under certain representations. They were encomaged in their efforts and the public is today paying the price of its folly with an unsatisfactory double system, no one being equipped “ telephonic- ally” without paying for both systems, those not having two being at the disadvantage of not being able to to talk to those who are on the the other line.
