Of good nature and happy

had spread to the corners Of
the state. The big Store"
won many new friends this
week. To those out of town
visitors to whom it had been!
known only by name, the store
was of compelling and lasting
interest. And many have
taken away with them an idea
Of modern shopping to which
until now they had been alto

did not want to see them prosper at
the expense of the citizens. lie SAID
that he did not come as witness
but as citizen. He did not own any
telephone stock. On the cross eXamlna-
ton Mr.. Bennett said that he could not
say how much the telephone FRANCHISE
was worth. He said that it was Valu-
able because it had been made so. He
had not given much attention to tele-
phone rates and had no information as
to Independent telephone companies in
other states
Fl. C. Warren was next called by Mr..
Alling. He said that telephone service
cost him $500 or $500 per year, and he
did not believe that it would be to the
interests of the public to have another
telephone system here. He thought
that the telephone business was nat
ural monopoly and that if two compan-
les We're. running here they would ulti-
mately unite He said that if two tele-
phone companies were in operation he
thought that the service would cost
more than it does now. He would not
ask for better telephone service than he
is now getting, not only locally but to
points all over the country, and that it
had taken number of years to arrive
at that state of perfection. He said
that his Wife's estate held twenty
shares of Southern New England Tele-
phone company stock. He said that he
appeared as a citizen not because he
had any interest in the Southern New
England company He said that he
had placed securities for the company,
but was not otherwise interested there
in. The committee adjourned at 1920
until o'clock next Thursday evening.
While Mr.. Bennett was being heard
Mr.. Slade, Of the committee asked: "Mr.
Bennett, if you were conducting a So
da water business and a telephone
company came in and put in several
hundred telephones in addition to those
already in operation, thereby enabling
you to reach more customers, don't you
think that would be an advantage to
you in your business?"
Mr.. Bennett-'It might be-"
Mr.. Slade stated that that was all he
desired to ask, and he pursued his in
quiry no further.
