DEEPER PROBE
Into Methods of New England Teie
phone & Telegraph Co., is Asked.

Boston. Sept 5.-The hearing on the
complaints against the service and
methods of conducting business by the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
Co. was resumed Wednesday before
the board of highway commissioners
and the petitioners. who are residents
Of this city, asked permission to amend
their petition in several respects.
The petitioners asked the commission
to investigate the company for the pur-
pose of seeing if it is conducting its
business in an honest and efficient mani
ncr with the view of eliminating exist
ing abuses. The petitioners also want
to investigate the affairs of the COM
pany previous to July !, 1906. especially
with a view of finding what contrlbu-
tons have been made to candidates
for political offices, to what extent
PERSONS are being employed who render
no service. and also are being employed
at the request of candidates and poll
ticians. The petitioners also want 10
investigate the so-called franking priv
leges, the number and names of the
men of the city or state government
who are receiving free service and the
amount paid to the officers OF the conf
pany.
The board announced that it would
take the different requests under con-
sidcration. Counsel for the petitioners
stated that it would like the board to
give a ruling in such a manner that an
appeal may be made to the courts on
questions of law.
The principal witness Wednesday was
Superintendent Wright. Of the Boston
division. who stated that the subscrib-
ers' stations had increased in five years
from $1,000 to $4,000 The charge per
business telephone is s162.
The cost of installing two-party
line throughout the metropolitan and
suburban districts in place Of the four,
six and eight-party lines would amount
to slightly over 100000 and would
save about so cents to each subscriber
if such change were put in force.
