resolution, have slated that they would
not vote for the resolution as It now
reads, and that It will be reported
adversely now seems a foregone con
clusion.
Mayor Pro Tern. Qullllan, a member
of the Joint committee, haa stated that
In his opinion something ought to be
done to secure better telephone serv
ice from the Bell company, even If It
had to be an appeal to the railroad
commission, and the members of the
committee seem agreed that the service
Is badly In need of Improvement.
Final action waa postponed at the
last meeting because of the absence of

company, and non- that he Is here he
will probably be called upon to explain
