THE SCIO TRIBUNE
$1.75 the Year
Meeting Well Attended
The telephone meeting at the city
had last Saturday was well attended
by representatives of the several
lines connected with the Scio switch
board. and »>me surprises develop
ed. according to information coming
to the Tribune.
Several years ago, when the Scio
Mutual Telephone Co. came into be
ing. only a few lines were connected
with central; later, others connect! d
but there is no record of the time
when connection was made; many
changes have been made In the origi
nal by-laws, but no record was made
of them snd the manuscript copies
could not be found. Our informant
says no blame is attached to anyone
for these omissions, but their ab
sence makes enforcement of the
rules impotent.
After a thorough discussion of
how to bring all lines into service-
ab e condition, the following com
mittee was appointed to revise the
by-laws; G. L. Sutherland, chair
man. S. B. Holt, Jam*.s Oupor. J. S.
Sticha and J. I). Densmore, which
will meet Sunday afternoon at thr
citv hali to carry out their instruc
tions, and ask all phone owners who
are interested to attend and help
them in their task.
On Saturday. Jan. 80, at 10 am.,
every phone owner connected with
Scio central is invited to come to
Scio and hear the report of the com
mittee. The meeting will be held
at the city hall.
