Mr. Dodge Appljies for Telephone. 
Charles C. Dodge, who kicked up 
such a fuss a few weeks ago about a 
couple of telephone poles being placed 
on the “ residential part,” so called, of 
Desmond avenue, Manchester, and 
went so far as to draw up a lengthy 
petition, in which he pictured the 
great calamity which would befall the 
town and its people, but more espe- 
cially the property owners on that 
street, and himself principally, has 
petitioned the New England Tele- 
phone company for a telephone to be 
placed in his shop on Desmond avenue. 
Until now Mr. Dodge has used a 
neighbor’s telephone, but the free 
trial offer of the telephone company 
has carried sufficiently inducing quali- 
ties to lead Mr. Dodge to call for a 
instrument for his own use. 
Meanwhile the board of selectmen, 
at a meeting last Saturday, threw 
down Mr. Dodge’s petition and has 
granted the telephone company the 
right to place two more poles on Des- 
mond avenue. The poles at the pres- 
ent time extend to Dodge’s Mill, but 
to reach the residence of J. A. Lodge, 
250 feet beyond, Mr. Dodge claims 
the wires should be placed under 
ground, instead of erecting one or 
two more poles. 
Mr. Dodge’s stand and the vigorous 
protest he has made against placing 
an additional pole on Desmond avenué 
has been a matter of much discussion, 
and it is of interest to note that the 
petitioner against poles on Desmond 
avenue is one of the first to jump at 
an offer of free telephones, which 
necessitates additional wires being 
strung overhead, thus further “ endan- 
gering life, limb and property,” as 
Mr. Dodge claims. 
Another Store. 
James A. Culbert, the harness man, 
who already has stores at Boston, Bev- 
erly Farms, Manchester and Magnolia,

Manchester boy, having made his 
home here in his younger days. He 
learned the rudiments of the harness 
trade with his father, Robert Culbert, 
who still has a store in Manchester.
