The Jenkintown subscribers of Dela-ware
and Atlantic Telephone Company
have received notice that after thirty
days their service will cease. This is
because the company and the Borcugh
Council ran not agree on an ordinance
allowing the company to continue Its
service in the borough.
The company has been using the
of the Jenkintown Electric Light
Companay for the last two years. I-ast
August the Council decided that the"
company must operate under an ordin-ance,
but no ordinance to which the
company would agree was framed.
A meeting of the company's sub-scribers
and the Borough Council has
been called for Thursday night to en-deavor
to bring about an agreement
between the Council and the company.
William T. B. Westbrooke. the com-pany's
superintendent, said that his
company- had offered to agree to a rea-sonable
ordinance, and would still do
BO, but that the Council had been un-just.
