The plan suggest'd by Mr. Hudson
is to have a central office, and each
person wanting a ’phone to buy the
instrument an I put up the wire from
his statio.) to the central < ffice. Each
man will then own Ins part of the

The cost of putiing in ihe ’phone*
and making the connections is estima¬
ted at 115 each, and 50 cents a month
