old company on account of the advant- age derived from the long distance sys- tenn.
 Before being caught In the tolls of the new telephone company, would it not be best to investigate thoroughly the results in other cities where a dual service Is in vogue? So far as we have been able to learn from actual expert ence and the statements of others who have also endured, a like annoyance, it Is yet to be shown where there is a single city, of any magnitude, now us- ing two telephone systems that wouldn't gladly be rid of the double sytem if they could.
 If the telephone subscribers in Mont gomery are divided between the two companies, how will any subscriber reach all of the telephone users, except by subscribing to both systems, and paying two bills instead of one? But 1t Is stated. everybody will take the cheapest, thereby forcing down prices and getting two telephones for the price of one. Is this fact? The only way to de- eide how it will finally result is to take the experience of cities which have tried the double system, where the old company has refused to meet
 
 been their experience will doubtless be Montgomerys. Atlanta has tried it for about three years. The old company has 3.700 subscribers, the new 1,S0O and 1900 subscribers have both. Charles ton has tried it for about four years The old company has 1,400 the new 300. and nearly 800 have both. Savan- nah has tried it for. one year. The old company has AGO, the new 1900, and 
 1t for ninety days. The old company has 1900, the new 1900, and nearly 500 have both.
 Telephone users in these places find that their business demands connection with all the subscribers in their city, necessitating patronizing both com panies, and that the double system costs many of them as follows: Atlan- ta, $S50 per month; Savannah, 1883 per month; Birmingham, $700 per month. Have these people been benefited by telephone competition? Has competi- tion reduced the prices? There is but one answer. Nol It invariably in- creases the cost to the consumer.
 Many cities are awakening to this fact. and have declined to agree to the double system. Chattanooga. Tenn, Columbus, Ga., Huntsville. Ala. Pen sacola, Fla. Macon, Ga. Athens Ga, Key West. Fla. and others have taken this action. Has the Bell Company charged exorbitant prices in these places, and have the people any req son to regret sticking to the single sys- tenn?
 The Bell Company has bought a lot on Washington Street, and will erect a modern telephone building thereon this Fall. They are putting their wires un- derground and it is said that the en- tire system will be new and up-to- date throughout, using the most improved apparatus. and that the service will be as good and complete as 1t is possible to give.
 A thorough investigation of every phase of this matter should be had be- fore final action. The Bell representa- tives state that they will gladly dis cuss. in detail any and every proposi- tion that may be brought up, in con- nection with this question. No one will suffer from such investigation, and it may result in an arrangement that would be etirly satisfactory to the citi- zens of Montgomery. adv.
