THE TELEPHONE REPORT.

A majority of the special committee on the pc
titon of the Home Telephone company for fran
chse authorizing it to do general telephone bus.
protracted investigation decided to report against
the admission of the Home company. This decision
was made known to the public exclusively by the
News-Democrat last evening.
II was further made known in the same arti-
Gle that the committee will recommend to the city
council the granting of an exclusive franchise to
the Providence Telephone company to run for a
term Of six years in return for which the company
is to pay into the city treasury three per cent Of its
gross earnings.
At present the company pays percentage on
rentals which Mayor Mccarthy deemed incquita-
bic to the city, and the committee has adopted his
view by providing that it shall pay three per cent
of its gross earnings which it is believed will large.

The Ncws-Demoerat also gave In full the rates
which the Providence Telephone company pro-
elusive franchise 1t is unnecessary to review
them.in detail here but it may be said that in gen.
eral they show material reduction in some in
stances amounting to about thirty-three per cent
Thus whatever may be the outcome when the
matter is finally settled by the council the city and
its citizens certain be very substantially ben
ehted as result of the Home company's effort to
secure franchise here.

be the duty Of that body to decide whether the
adoption of the majority or Of the minority plar
will confer the larger amount Of good on the city
and its telephone-usng citizens.
II cannot be denied that the telephone bushes.
is peculiar and that on its face seems to render
monopoly desirable at least, if not absolutely neces
sary. Competition, it would appear, can ever
effect than to put the public to greater cost and in
convenience.
This applies to that large part Of the com.
munity that must in case there are two or more
telephone systems subscribe to all in order TO main
tain its business.
On the other hand, II cannot be questioned tha,
competition in the telephone business as in any
other has a tendency 70 lessen the cost to sub.
scribers and to provide an enlargement OF the mum
Der Of telephone connections that can be made.
The plan favored by majority of the commit
tee appears favorable and advantageous to the city
but definite judgment ought not be reached until
the minority has been heard.
Another matter should not be forgotten, in til,
event that the final decision is TO give an exclusive
franchise to the Providence Telephone company
The company should be required to bind itself tc
furnish the latest and most improved instrument;
and the most efficient service possible.
