BUSINESS A Plain Statement of Facts by the Lackawanna Telephone Company to the Citizens of Scranton. The Incorporators of the Lackawanna Telephone company, conlitlnc of Conruil SUit ociler, president; William I. Connell, vice-president; Geoigc S. Horn, sttrctuty find tieusurer; T. J. l'ostcr, Henry Wchrum, C. O, Boland and IMinund P.oblnson, who are citizens and taxpajcrs of Bcranton, inuka this bikf statement of facts concerning tht company, Its organization and pui poses and Its tecentlon by the citizens of Sciantnn nnd by thm rnunclls of thu cltv, In order that all of the tapaers and voters may undct stand cleaily tho mil hlstoiy of this movement toivuids Impiovcd and cheaper telephone ptivlce In Scranton and the manner In which their Interests In this particular line have been handled !n one branch of thp city council. Ilclievlng that the time was opportune for the establishment of a new telephone company In Scranton hased on the same method of upeiatlon as tho Independent telephone companies generally which arp already In success ful operation in twelve hundred cltlon and towns throughout the United States, and seeing the possibilities of it pioHtable business entcrpilse even with rates for seivlce reduced to one-half, steps wuiu taken touuids the founatlon of a telephone company to so opeiate. Permit us to explain here bi Icily, the dlfferenre between what Is known as Independent telephone companies and other compnnles. All telephone companies throughout tho United States, not classed as In dependent, are companies which use the Instruments and apparatus owned absolutely by the American Bell Telephone comptny and to whom they uio compelled under rigid contract to pay high royalties. In tho early days of telephone wo rk practically all of the patents of value were owned by this coiporatlon and it was necessary for any company engaged In the telephone business to lease from them, but in recent years the salient patents on all of their Instruments have expired and what few they still control hne more than been met by electrical Inventive genius as great as anv at their command, and tho apparatus now furnished by tho companies Independent of the American Bell Corporation arc equal in every respect to the instruments used by its dependents. It will be seen at a glance that with one company using Instruments which It owns outright and an other using Instruments upon which it is compelled to pay an enormous ren tal, one concern can give service at a rate far below the other and still earn a fair profit. Over twelve hundred cities and towns In the United States are today enjojlng competitive telephone sen Ice nt prices which bring this great ne cessity and convenience w Ithln thp r each of every one, and each city hav ing the Independent telephone exchanges reports better Berlco and moie accommodating treatment at about one-half the price formerly charged by the old, I. c , the American Bell Tele phone company. About April 1, solicitors representing the Lackawanna company started a tanvas of tho business portions of Scranton and met with so gratifying a reception at the hands of tho city's business men that in a short time flvc ear contracts for more than nine hundred 'phones were made nnd pledges received for many more as soon as the company was in operation. All this was accomplished without any serious effort being made towards canvass ing the residence section of the city and with no effort whatever in the suburban towns. This number is In excess of the present list of tho Central Pennsylvania company which has had a monopoly of this tenltory for twenty jeats and would seem conclusive proof of the de she of our business men to improve the sen ice and at the feame time secure more reasonable rates for them selves. Tho Central Pennsjlvnnla company now chaices $70 00 net per annum for a business 'phone with unlimited service. The rate named In the five-jear contrnct which tho Lackawanna Telephone company made was $30 per an num with five per cent, discount for business 'rlhones with unlimited service, $24 net per annum for residence 'phones with unlimited service or $"0 net per annum for two 'phones, residence and business both unlimited service. At the same time that solicitors were sent out an ordinance granting a franchise to the Lackawanna company was introduced In the city councils. No comment Is necessaiy on tho manner in which our fair nnd reasonable request for the privilege of doing business In this city was received, further than to state that It was a majority of the membeis of the select branch of councils which placed the amendmen ts upon the oidlnance which were of a nature to preclude its acceptance by the company ns no telephone company could attempt to do business under such a handicap and survive. We are of the opinion, however, that not all the members who voted nginst us are fully Informed of the prohibitory nature of some of the amendments. We respectfully ask of the citizens of Scranton their enreful consideration of the subjoined ordinance, which for our more convenient peiusal we have paralleled. The ordinance which the select coun cil proposes to give the Lackawanna Telephone companj : File of select council, No. 10, 1S9S. As amended in select council May 12, 1898. AN ORDINANCE.

Section 3. Before exeiclslng any of the privileges granted heicby, said Compan.v shall submit to tho City En gineer a plun showing the location and character of the proposed work, and all such work, when ihe plan shall have been approved by the CIt Engi neer, shall I)'1 peifoimed under the su peivlslon and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Section 4 Said company shall not at any time excavato or encumber mor of any sticet, court or place, than shall be necessary to enable It to peiform with proper economy and efllcloncj, th" woik of laying and erecting Its conduits, ducts, mains, pipes and poles, nor shall It permit such excavation or encumbrance to remain for a longer period than chnll bo necessary to do the work lo.- whlrh said excavation shall have b3en made and shall put up and maintain about such excavation or encumbrance, safety guards and lights to prevent the happening of ac cidents. section 5. Said Company shall con struct within one veir fiom the pass age of this ordinance nt least 2 000 feet of underground conduits and the same shall be constructed with reference to fatrylng the vvlres on the streets where the w Ires are most numerous. Section 6. Th Cential Pennsylvania Telephone and Supply rompany, shall provide and furnish without expense to the City of Scranlon, Pennsylvania, space of one cable capacltj in each conduit consttucted under this fran chise, for wlies owned and operated by said City for ItH Tire Alarm und Polite purposes mid under no eircum stanees, shall the space so provided bo used for wires conveying high ten Blon, or dangerous currents. Section 7. Before commencing work and within sixty days from the pass age heieof, said Company shall signify 1U acceptance In wilting of thU giant Section 7. The said company shall provide and furnish without expense to the city, space of one cnble capacity in each conduit, duct, main, or pipe, or poles for wires owned and opeiated by tho city for Its fire alarm and pollco put poses, provided tho space so pro vided shall not he used for wires carry ing high tension or dangctous cur rents. Section S. Before this ordinance shall go Into effect and before it shall be deemed to confer any franchise upon the said company, the city solici tor shall prepare a written agreement between the city and the said com pany whcieln said company shall agtco to atccpt and carry out tho condi tions lmpoed hereby, which said agiecment having been duly executed by the company shall be filed with the city cleik. Wi call attention to Section 2 ot the Lackawanna company's ordlnanco which compels us "to lay under the sutlace of the atieuts and alleys with in a radius of one thousand yards from and around the couit house In every dhertlon, conduits, etc., and to connect such wires and cables under ground with the subscribers' premises." This clause Is practically prohibitory. Wo deslie to lay our wires under ground In the business streets, but must be nllowed to connect with the subscribers as Is universally customary. A moment's consideration of tho full Import of the clause which compels us to bury all wires within one thousand ynrds of the couit house, will leveal at once to you the enormous expense this would entail and the absolute Impossibility ot any telephone company undei taking to do this at the building of Its plant. It would neces sitate laving seven-eights of our entire system under ground. This prohibited area extends on the west the middle of tho Fourteenth ward, on the hotih nlmost to Alder street, on the east to Webster avenue and on the north nl most to the borough ot Dunmoie. Now we beg to cnll your attention to the similar clause In the Central Pennsylvania company's ordinance. Section 5, which says "said company shall construct within one vear from the passage of this ordinance at least two thousand feet of underground conduits and the same shall be constructed with reference to carrying the vvlres on the streets where the wires are most numerous." This ve-y generous provision merely compels the Central iPenn sylvanla company to lay two thousand feet of underground conduit within the llrst j ear after the enactment of their ordinance nnd which work may, ac cording to the wording of tho ordinance then cease. The Lackawanna ordinance will compel us to place underground Im mediately with tho constiuctlon of our plant nbout 4S.00O feet, over 8 miles, of conduit or 22'4 times as much as Is required of the old company. The great Injustice of these condltl ons Imposed by the select council needs no comment. They practically put the company out of existence. The above ordinance was amended In common council maklnz It possible for us to do business, and referred to the select branch, which refused to concur. The ordinance was then sent to conference committee where It now lies. We now most respectfully repiesent: First In the evont of our being given a fair and just franchise It Is our Intention to build an exchange second to none In the country ano that wo offer to furnish telephone service to the people of the city of Scranton as good ns any telephone service furnished any where In the United States and better than the service now received by them at about half the price being demand ed and paid Second Wc believe we are entitled to and ought to have as good privileges for the establishment of our plant and furnishing telephone service to the citi zens of Scranton as any other company or corporation furnishing the same Third We are willing to furnish a bond In the sum of twenty thousand dollars properly secured for the fulfillment of the provisions and stipulations prescribed In a fair and Just ordinance.
