Word from E. P. Turner Thursday
morning stated that he and A. E. DeMe-
yo* would be here again Friday morn-
ing to consider the interurban project
with the Denton people. He stated in
his telephone communication that it
would probably be ten days or more be-
fore the engineer could be here to as-
sist in securing the right-of-way for
the line from Denton to Krum and sug-
gested that the committee appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Young Men’s Business League could go
ahead with securing the land. He stated
that if there were any changes from the
surveyed line made by the committee
that the promoters would be willing tc
pay the additional most.
It is believed that his visit here Fri-
day is.in the interest of making these
arrangements with the local committee.
Because of the number of meetings
that have been held recently no meet-
ing of the Executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce was held Thurs-
day morning but one will be called Fri-
day while Mr. Turner Is here to consid-
er further the interurban project.

The merging of the two local tele-
phone systems is promised officially
for some time next month' but ntd for
any definite date, according to infor-
mation received here Wednesday after-
noon by Manager E. H. Egan of the
Peoples’ Home Telephone system from
teh head offices at Sherman.
“1 can say that the two systems will
bdhnerged some time in April," was the
way Manager Egan put his announce-
ment. •"You may say that this is offi-
cial and not mere rumor" was his part-
ing statement.
There is nothing .definite given in
the statement other than that merger
is to be made in April. If the bulk of
the supplies have been shipped Manag-
er Egan here has not been notified of
such though he states that the Sher-
man office has probably been advised.
At present there is only a portion of
the materials here for connecting the
two plants. These materials are for
the underground conduit.
As announced before the first steps
to be taken toward merging the sys-
tems will be temporary arrang^nents.
The line from the Home system will be
connected with the switchboard of the
Southwestern office which will be oper-
ated by the independent Company. As
soon as possible a new switchboard
it is understood, will be installed anc.
all the lines of the city made to
ter at the one office directly. ,
