writer has o very clear recol lection of what the terms were moreover the resolution that was passed regarding the terms indicates what the purport of the letter was briefly stated the offer was a the bel co would give exchange service and long dis tance service at the established bell co rates tb the bethes- da stouffville telephone as sociation must not accept as members any who resided in the village of stouffville nor rent any telephones within the village c for every call or iginating on the bethesda stouffville telephone system and passing through the stouff ville switchboard there would be a charge of 10 cents which would accrue to the bell co so anxious were we to avoid establishing our own exchange that we would have accepted the bel companys terms but for one circumstance five cit izens of stouffville had become members of our association and had paid their initial as sessment after prolonged di cussion it was decided that we were bound to serve those who had joined our association that to return to these men their money would be a breach of fairh it was further decided that while we could not break faith with these men we would agree to accept no further business in stouffville it was also ag reed to decline as from that date to accept more members from stouffville pending re ceipt of a reply from the bell co to our compromise propos al but in the event of the bell co declining to accept a com promise we would proceed to install our own switchboard and would operate without long distance connection when the reply came from the bell co the answer was no this was the most import ant decision that our company has ever made upon it our en tire history hinges had we ac cepted the terms that were offered to us or had the bell co accepted our compromise proposal the result would have been regrettable the 10 cents switching charge would have been disastrous to telephone development in the rural dist rict and without telephones among farmers the develop ment in the village would have been slow freed from any entanglement with the bell co we turned to connections with other inde pendent systems which great ly expanded the free service that our members enjoyed and telephone service expanded be yond all expectation the tribune stou5iie ont thursday january 6 1955 local and personal happenings the opening meeting of whitchurch twp council
