In the city of Stevens Point, where
exists no organized opposition to the
Wisconsin Telephone Co., patrons OF
their line are paying eXtortionate rates
of s. and s. per month for the use OF
| telephones. In Madison where orga-
nized opposition does exist patrons OF
the same company get the same kind OF
service for 81 80 and $500. Comparisons
like these point their own lesson most
emphaticaly. We hope our neighbour
ing city will soon join the column OF
march toward local management and
better and cheaper telephone systems.
