before the general committee and gave
their views as TO the effect OF the bill in
troduced by MIR Brown Of Nottingham
regulating telephone rates They repre-
scented that so radical reduction would
have the effect to- stop any extension of
lines, even If it did not cause the with
drawal Of the companies now operating IN
the state. Great improvements have lately
been made whereby the service will be
much more valuable to all patrons, and a
new system will soon bee introduced IN the
state, carrying these into effect at a great
cost TO the companies 1t is understood
that the committee will report against the
bill
The elephant which this committee have
ON their hands proves to be the weekly pay
ment bill 1t is exciting great interest in
all sections of the state aud great many
persons interested have appeared here
Many Of the corporations oppose the bill
strongly for the reason that it would Ell
tirey dsarrange their present systems and
cause large additional expense The most
opposition comes from those who have
stores. out of which their employees are paid
in part. The bill would necessitate week
/ ly settlement Of accounts, and thus much
additional labor And then some express
the feeling that it is an infringement Of
personal rights 10 dictate TO any class OF
men how or when they shall pay their help.
