new inventions which on this side Of
the Atlantic remain in the hands Of
private parties. According to En-
g:neering, the telephone. system, pub
lically owned in Sweden has, ever
since it's introduction, shown a rapid
and continuous developement, and the
government has now asked for a fur

was s39,779; in 1897, 2, ,147, $40, and in
1928, over a,7oo, 900, an increase Of
over twenty per cent as compared
with 1897. 1T has only been possible
