Telephone Co. Mentions New Building
and Dial System as Higher Rate Bait
Southwestern
Ci), sent down their heavy artil-
lery along with the local and dis-
trict managers to meet with the
Bowie city council Monday' night.
The council was scheduled'to con-
sider the company’s application
for higher telephone rates for
Bowie patrons. They' even men-
tioned the possibility of a new
telephone .building and dial
phones if the full increase they
ask is granted.
First \ye should tell you that
the council did not vote on the
matter. And from conversation
heard around the council table
by the News editor, it doesn’t look
as if any rate change is due soon.
However, before’we report more
of Monday night’s meeting we
might say something about the
problem of the city council when
it comes to considering telephone
raises. Many times the telephone
companies are only looking for
a “turn down” by the council so
that they can appeal their case
to the district and then probably
to a higher court where they
~ might get inore Tfiati the ebtibcTT
would give them if the council
granted a raise. So many times
city councils know that they' can
, save the citizens of the town
money by stalling, spending a lot
of their, valuable time meeting
with telephone representatives
and then finally granting a small
. increase that will stall off court
action. So your reporter cannot
even guess what action might be
, taken.
Judge H. W. Fillmore of Wichi-
1917 or 1918, ta Falls accompanied District
and paid for this fire I Manager Wayno Palmer and local
manager. James Spence,- to the
city’, meeting. In a subtle manner
the former countv and dsitrict
judge passed out four nage legal
sized sheets filled with mention
of court cases fnr hirher rates
that had been decided in favor
of telephone companies. He call-
ed the attention of cotincilmen
to the fact that the increase in
rates for Bowie will bring the
company only 2 6 net (after in-
come tavos) or their investment
of «3?5.non in Bowie.
Mayor Mark Hi”h brought on

ing will be cut down to a net

The public ntilitv committee
made their ronort. however thov
did not say what they favored
and w« do not intend to inter-
view them as thov(plight bo just
stalling for time and might not
want the telephone company to
know their final decision.

mend the council take one of two
actions: 1. Deny the application
for an increase, flatlv. 2. Recom-
mend that the increase be hold to

not to go inlo effect until the
comnanv installs dial phones.
(Dial phones apparently are def-
initely slated for Bowie in the
future.)
.The telephone representatives
asked that the council take, no
action until thev could make a
counter proposal. Wavne Palmer,
district ■manarer. said ho is going
to ask for authority to make the
following offer: That the tele-
phone comnanv will build a new
telephone building in Bowie (the
company owns land back of the
Garv-Noos Lbr. Co. yard hero)
and install dial phonos. That their
now rates bo granted with 50%
of the increase going into effect
whenever the ground is broken
for the new building and the bal-
ance into effect when dial phones
are nut into oneration. Thev es-
timate this would increase their
investment in Bowie from 8325.-
nOO to $650 000 Palmer predicted
that it would be two vears before
the dial svstem would be rcadv
for oneration if the above proposi-
tion is accepted.
The council is cognizant of the’
fact that instillation of a dial sys-
tem means a reduction in person-
nel employed at the local ex-

If you see Elvin Butler riding
• about town in a fire truck it will
not mean that there is a fire—it
will be his own personal fire
. fighting equipment.
The City Council voted Mon-
day night to sell the old 1916
American La France fire truck
to Elvin Butler, member of the
Bowis Fire Department f< r many
years.
C. H. Boedecker, who was
mayor of Bowie at the time, went
to Dallas about
bought
truck himself, and then drove it
back to Bowie, where it has been
* • in use ever since. When Mr. Boe-
docker was buried, this fire truck
was used instead of a hearse. Al-
vin Baccus, who is chief of the
Bowie Fire Department, was
with the department at that time
and has been with it for 44 years.
The truck was not now when
it was purchased, as the name
of another town has been visible
through the old paint on the hood
of the truck. The last time this
truck was used was when West-
ern Cleaners had a fire, but it
is capable of putting out a strong
current of water. It was the first
pumper owned bv Bowie. At the
time it was purchased, the other
truck was a Model T Ford
chemical truck.
Mr. Butler intends to overhaul
the old truck and repair the rav-
ages of time. Perhaps it may be
used by some small town who
needs a fire truck or collected
by some antique vehicle collec-
tor. The old truck is quite differ-
ent from the newer models with
their inflated tires and chrom-
ium trim. The LaFrance has brass
trim and hard rubber tires.
