The matter of extending the tele phone service to the river road dis trict out of Cohasset, which covers a@ territory of about 12 miles, has been under discussion for some time. The Mesaba Telephone company was interviewed by the people interested recently with regard to the matter, fand has made a very liberal offer, agreeing to extend the service and make switching arrangements if fro1 210 to 30 phones will be installed. If the residents in the district will get their materia] on the ground the telephone company has expressed its willingness to meet them halfway in getting the service installed. A itelephone service not only adds to the comfort of dwellers in the tural districts, but increases the | value of their holdings, through pro- viding communication with neighbors and nearby towns. The installation of a telephone service is one of the greatest benefits of a rural commun- ity, ranking next in importance ‘to good roads, and the people of the Cohasset district are fortunate in the liberal offer made to them by the Mesaba company.
