Decatur instead of taking them into Sangrr as the Telephone Co.
and the City of Sanger had reached an agreement to firing those
town into the Central office which was to be located. .nthe
City of Sanger. He advised the City to do nothing until_ they
had some word from the Telephone Co. saying for c,ertamn that they
were not going to bring those town's into Rnrrer, then the City
could probably bring a breach. suite against the, Telephone co. for
not keening their agreement with the City of 'SanIfer, if they did
not bring those town's into the central officfe which was to be in
the City of Sanger. Or the City cold condemm the poles off the
Telephone co, as they were a hazard on the City streets and he
wolIld have to tear the poles down and they could issue a franchise
to some other company to put a telephone system in the City of
Sanrrer. But before the City does anything they should find out
from the Telephone Co. just what they are going to do.
