In an interview with Mr. J.W. Condon, the manager of the company, that gentleman stated that his company stood ready to build the line as soon as a suitable inducement shall be given by dwellers along the route. The expense of the undertaking would be very large and unless a bonus were given the scheme could not well be considered. A telephone line to these places would be a great convenience to business men and it is hoped sufficient inducements can be given to insure its establishment.
