barring agent of the bell telehone company it must be admitted that there was no scramble to buy our stock but we did make sub stantial sales to members of households that were served by a teiehore in

to us we purchased it and some of their shareholders reinvest ed in our company in the same year we built into the rich mond hill district purchased the vandorf tel co plant and developed the aurora district the crowning event was the signing of an agreement with the bel telephone co oct 21 1909 giving us long distance connection via richmond hill and also via aurora this agreement also rented to

this required money and in march 1910 we issued bonds to the amount of 15000 at 6 interest the bonds to run for five years other forward movements dur ing this period were the pur chasing of a larger switch board in 1909 and erection of a 25pair cable reaching to church street in 1910 in january 190s we declared it dividend of 0 for the year 1907 and silica the sharehold ers were now receiving a reas onable return on their invest ment the directors felt that the company was able to pay something for the management of their business they request ed that the sum of 150 be paid to the directors
