Came Over to Inspect Telephone Work

Points on Franchise

Being Looked Up- Matter Will Come Up Next Monday Night and Probably Pass.

A delegation of Ypsilanti city officials composed of Mayor Huston, Ald. Zwergel, Worden, Colby, Stoup, Palmer, Cremer and O'Connor, and City Attorney Towner, under the protecting wing of Promoter Gary Densmore, were in the city yesterday inspecting work being done by the Washtenaw Home Telephone Co. and getting pointers to aid them in the consideration of the application for a franchise in that city.

The gentlemen were taken in charge by the local manager, Charles F. Speed, driven about the city and given every facility for thoroughly investigating the company's plant here so far as it has ben completed, and on returning expressed themselves as being thoroughly pleased with the character of the work and the materials being used. They were especially pleased with the condition in which the company leaves the streets and alleys after putting in their poles and underground work.

The matter of the franchise in Ypsilanti is expected to come before the council at its meeting next Monday evening and, while the aldermen were chary about expressing opinions, there is little doubt but that it will be granted.
