Telephone Company May Not Build This Year.

The telephone people are a little undecided at this writing whether or not they will build on the lot recently bargained for of J. H. Holden, on North Weston street. If the can secure suitable quarters they may decide to lease for a term of years and forfeit the amount paid on this lot to hold same and give up building altogether for a few years. They expect to put in a new switchboard, which will cost them nearly $5,000, and this, with the expense of moving the lines off Washington street and carrying them into their new quarters, werever they decide to locate, is about all the expense they care to incur at this time.
