Two weeks ago tho Borough Council of Pettsvillo postponed Indefinitely two ordin ances granting tho right of way to at many independent tolcphono companies, and It was generally understood that tho legislators of the count- seat would not again consider the applications, Tho contrary, however, has proven to bo tho caso. At last night's meet ing of Pottsvillo's Town Council, George Wadllnger, president of onoof tholnderend ont telephono companies, appeared before that body and requested that action be taken upon tho application. Ho said : "Wo believe that wo ran give tho people of this town and county a better service at one-half tho cmt than the present company is giving, and still make money. There is no reasonable restriction that you may impose that we will not meet. The Schuylkill Tolo phono Company or tho Postal Telegraph Company call uso our polos at half tho cost of construction and maintenance.

It will lo taken up and passed finally at tho next meeting. Tho action of Pottsvillo's Council should havo a salutary ctl'ect upon tho members of Councilor this town, who hato under coil- ideration a similar ordinance It should lie passed without a dissenting vote, as the pcoplo demand a more equltablo telephono rate. Council should relievo tho people of tho prosont monopoly. Pass the ordinance, gentlemen of tho Borough Council, without further quibbling. PRESIDENT THOMSON'S SUCCESSOR.
