furnish service at reduced rates II IT gets prac-
tically exclusive franchise at the ins!stence OF
Borough President CoIer was brought up before the

Many lawyers were hand. Edward NJ. Grout
argued that II would be 'sceTnly' for the Board OF
Estimate 10 recognize the application Of the com
pany made over year ago. He said the mat
Ter had not had any attention paid by the board.
The Mayor asked Mr. Grout why = the Board OF
Estimate could grant a franchise to any other
company at any time the New York Telephone
Company dld not reduce its rates now
1t would be useless for US to do So replied Mr..
Grout. II next week or month you granted a
franchise to another company and took steps to
terminate the agreement
This is no place to decide momentous

It's not monopoly protested Mr. Grout But
we cannot make these terms unless have the

another company raise the rates and cannot
keep to the rates 70 you IN this agree
rneut."
