The Week in Chicago
Full of Problems
Public Service Corporation Franchises Worry Windy
City, but Smoke Question Is Said to
Be Answered.
BY MARTHA ANDERSON ,wymAn.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-The city is simply
seething with problems concerning
franchises Of public service corpora
tions. The latest
Chicago Beset by matter to come
up is the tele-
Problems phone service. A
few days ago
of Big Franchises Mayor Dunno IN
timated publicly
that there was prospect that fran
chise would be granted to another
company. This brought quick re-
Spouse from Manager A. S. Hubbard
of the Chicago Telephone company ask
ing for a committee Of conference on
telephone rates and other points in
controversy He stated that the COM
pany was prepared to make liberal
concessions in return for the settle
ment Of several points on which hinged
many plans for improved service.
There are at present two companies,
but the Automatic company only oper
ates in the business portion of the city.
This company is limited by law to a
maximum charge of $50 annually, while
the Chicago Telephone company makes
a maximum charge of $175 year for a
business connection, in spite of the fact
that $l25 is the limit set by the city
ordinance. The new company seeking
a franchise offers to put in instruments
for $50 a year. These rates are for full
unlimited service. Measured service is
very popular here owing to the high
rates asked for unlimited and runs as
low as 5 cents day in residences.
The chief telehone company is a big
thing, having 100000 subscribers in
| Chicago, besides a large connecting sys-
tenn in the outlying towns. AS it's fran
| chise expires in 1909, it is certain that
| concessions can and will be forced when
the question Of renewal comes up for
final settlement. The following are the
reforms that will probably be insisted
on from the start:
| Abolition Of toll rates for connec-
lions within the city limits.
| Reduction Of the rates for business
service. The company collects $175 q
year at present, instead of the $125
| stipulated in the ordinance.
| Compensation to the city on all lines
within the limits.
Free service for all municipal bust
ness.
Readjustment and reduction of ths
charges for measured service and :
lowering of the rates for switchboard
and desk instruments.
