MADRID, June 2.-Compared with other
European co untries, the telephone record
Of Spain is a good one. The service In
ffty-six towns is in the hands Of private
companies. The State controls most Of
the long distance service and nine local
exchanges.
The private companies are heavily taxed
by the Govenment-to the extent OF
from 10 to IS per cent. OF their gross profits.
There is an elaborate scale Of charges,
ranging in Madrid from s4 for private
house use to 3l0o for clubs, cafes, hotels, &c
The service is fairly prompt and efficient.
