W. L. Abbott, Esq., Chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the University of Illinois: DEAR SIR—The Home Telephone Company of Champaign county, hereby makes application for a permit to cross the University campus with a line of underground conduit, connecting the conduit work now being completed by the company in Champaign and CJrbana. The work will be similar in character to .the*conduit work put through the campus by the Bell Company under a permit granted about a year ago, except £hat our conduit lead will be placed near the south line of White street so that it passes through the campus between the football.and baseball grounds, interfering with neither. We are rebuilding our entire system in both cities, and when completed it will be what is known as cable construction in both cities. In connection with it we shall install the latest automatic equipment. As the University now has that system, with some changes we believe it could be connected with ours in such manner as to give very satisfactory service from and to the University from both Champaign and Urbaha. We therefore make you this proposition that we will furnish the necessary equipment needed at the University to make satisfactory connection with ours both in Champaign and Urbana and furnish service for the following remuneration: We to receive the sum of two dollars per year for each University telephone connected with our system, for the first year. The sum of two dollars and fifty cents each per year for the second vear, and the sum of three dollars per phone per year the third year and thereafter. I t being agreed that not less than seventyfive telephones shall be connected at the University. Yours truly, THE HOME TELEPHONE Co., OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY, Per MANFORD SAVAGE, President. With regard to this the Committee on Buildings and Grounds made the following report: *
