Cases Were Afterward Raised

Referring TO the judges statement
again. this gentleman said: "He treats
our company very unfairly. indeed. when
he compares our highest rate for unlim-

ent company; and the rate was S4s II
was purely local service. with extra
charges for connections for such subur-

than $3.50 per year, instead OF $12O. In
addition TO this, we would bes able to
