THE WORD IS zow DELAY.

There is no necessity Whatever fo,.
an examination of the books or ac-
counts of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, or for an investigation of
the private conduct of it's business. by
committee of the City Councils, or by
anybody acting for the Councils.
3The Bell Company, of it's own mo-
tion, thrust it's private affairs upon the
public notice. After underwriting the
Southern States Company for nearly
two years, in violation of it's fran
chise. it suddenly put up rates. and
volunteered the information that il had
been losing money. That was no az
fair OF the publics or Of the CITY
Councils. That 1t should stick its bal
ance sheet under the public nose and
cry out, I'm losing $l0,0 900 or more n
year." was purely gratuitous on the
part OF the Southern Bell Telephone
Company
This. however. served its purpose.
1t induced the committee of Councils
to ask for more specific information
Then the Bell Company discovered that
these matters We're private, ana de
clined to answer. II was the gauziest
of subterfuges. but it served it's pur-
pose. 1t delayed action, and gave the
Bell Company time to prepare fresh
objections, triM The deliberate purpose of
hanging up the mholc matter indcfaiicln
There Is no necessity whatever. for
an examination of the books of the
Bell Company; the information it de-
clines to furnish, in writing, would no
doubt be interesting. but is not at All
essential to a fair and just settlement OF
the telephone rate question. When
finally this information is given. there
Will be no assurance Whatever that ii
is accurate. 1t would not be accepted
in court OF law If there were no
more at stake than the price of a vel
low calf. Why a committee of Coun-
ellis should accept it, or delay action
because of its absence, when the City's
contract with another company, and
It's reputation for fair dealing. are at
issue is not apparent.
The city put maximum rates In the
franchise OF the Southern States Com
pany. The City contracted with the
Southern States Telephone Company
10 put the same maximum rates-Sss a
year for business phones, and SIS for
residence service-in any franchise il
might grant thereafter to any other
company. 1t has granted two fran
chises. namely: The American Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company. OF
Virginia, and the Southern Bell Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company. since
it made that contract. and il has no;
put this or any other maximum rate
in either of them. In consequence Of
this breach of faith, this City is prac-
1icaliy in the grasp OF a monopoly
the Bell Telephone Company. The pro-
position is made th,t the city keep It's
contract, and cure it's own wrong. by
putting this mailman rate in The
American Telephone Compauy's and
the Bell Company's franchises. The
Bell Company objects that il would
lose money at that rate. The city asks
to have statement SHOWING this to be
n fact. The Bell Company replies that
1t cannot expose its private affairs.
That is the present status OF The
ease. The purpose of this manoctvrc
of the Bell Company was to toll the
Councils away from the merits of the
case, into barren and protracted ex-

this total, it will appear how proiita-
