Trouble at Albert Lea Wires Cut by City Rail
Western Electric Telephone Co which runs the Albert Lea exchange has been in dispute with city authorities. In April the council ordered poles and wires removed. Mayor Kostveld ordered the company cut off after it failed to comply. The issue stems from a dispute with the Emmons line over tolls and a possible separate exchange, with pole-sharing arrangements disputed between the Albert Lea and Northwestern lines. Klopp's Drug Store advertises low wallpaper prices.
