Union Co Op Tables Offer From Central Iowa Telephone
Union Cooperative directors met Wednesday and left a proposal by Central Iowa Telephone Co on the table. E W Lundy said urgent business and lack of favorable comment from Union citizens prompted delay. The company proposed to take over office equipment and materials, lease the new building, provide switching for country lines, convert to common battery phones, and operate all cooperative switch lines at set costs, with a plan to transfer the franchise. The cooperative, nearing completion of a new building, planned an exchange for fall and asked for a proposal to switch subscribers of the Bangor exchange in a future date.
