(Continued from First Page.) by mcchansm, but also the cost of maintenance and depreciation will be less, so that the new company can give, it says, more efficient service with lower rates than are at present charged. With the improvements, which have been made in the methods of construction, with the use of the cable system instead of the open wire system in the country districts. and the conduit and the inner block sys- tenn in the cities, which does away with a large part of the tearing up of the streets necessitated by the old methods of construction. a large pro portion of the expense of maintenance and depreciation is saved. This en- ables d new company, it is argued, to give the best telephone service at rates averaging one-third less than the Southern New England Telephone company and also earn a good divi dend upon the money invested after allowing fully for depreciation and re- placement charges,
 The incorporators say; "A new company will not be handicapped by any contracts compelling it to do bus mess at loss, or for furnishing free service or giving special rates to its privileged patrons. It will not be compelled to pay any rentals or royal ties or any fixed percentage of its gross receipts to any telephone trust, or other person or corporation for the privilege of doing business It will not be controlled by any contract which prevents it's doing any business connected with the telephone business from which it can make legitimate profit"
 The new company intends to have solicitors canvass the whole state to obtain bona lide subscribers for the new company, with the intention of going to the superior court and show ing that public convenience and neces- sity demand the construction of a new telephone system in this state. The contracts of the company will provide for a large minimum of sub scribers before any charge for service is made in any division, showing that the men back of the company feel confident that the telephone field in Connecticut is largely undeveloped. For instance. in the contract for the i New Haven division it VII be provid- ed that there must be at least $500 | subscribers before any charge for ser 1 vice is made, and it is confidently eX- pected that there VII be from 1000 | to 10000 subscribers in this division when the New Haven division is ! opened.
 In conclusion the incorporators de- clare: Connecticut is entitled and should have at least five times as many telephones to-day as 1t has, and even then would not reach the devel- opment which has been already ac- complshed in many sections of the country. The new company aims tc fill this unified demand for telephone service"

HARBOR OF REFUGE
Conference at Washington To-day Ex
 pected to Hasten Work.

Newport, R. l., Feb 23-Arrange- ments for hastening the completion of the national harbor of refuge at Point Judith are confidently expected to re- suit from a conference of engineers which opens in the Colorado building at Washington tomorrow, by appoint ment of the secretary of war to con slider various projects in the improve ment of river and harbors.
 Work on the construction of an arti- ficial harbor at Point Judith began nearly a score of years ago, the pur- pose being to provide shelter for coast wise shipping. Between the easterly end of Long Island sound and the west erly entrance to Vineyard sound there is an unprotected stretch of more than sixty miles within which vessels have often been caught, and there is long record of appalling disasters in that vicinity, among them that of the sink ing of the steamer Larchmont a year ago with a loss of about i75 lives, More shipping passes Point Judith than any other point in the New England coast, and the need of safe anchorage for vessels there has been keenly felt by shipping interests for many years.

 Inquiry among the officials of the Southern New England Telephone com pauv failed to elicit any inclination on their part to discuss the new phase of inc nrolonged controversy over taIe- phone rights. It was learned. however. from another source that the conpanv has known for some time of the plans of the new company and early decided that the best way was to let the move ment run it's course in the way pre- scribed by the new law passed by the last legislature year ago. When the new company is ready to plead it's cause in the superior court for the right to construct and operate on the ground of public convenience and ne cessity the old company will he given twelve days in which to prepare its defense and demand for further protec- ton. It is known that the canvassers have been in this city for several days. looking up boarding places from which the inference is drawn that the battle for popular support in behalf of the new enterprise will be begun this week.
 It will be interesting to note the progress made in New Haven which Is the home of the Southern New England company. At one time the New Haven Business Mems association was active
 in it's sympathy towards a competing telephone company, but having through a committee inquired into the condi- tions of the enterprise it finally with drew its support. The State Business Mems association practically reached the conclusion that It's approval of an independent company was misdrected though Its attitude was unquestionably responsible for the law now on the statute books requiring proof of pub
 lie convenience and necessity before the right can be given to construct and operate a competing company. It the superior court should withhold its ap- proval it would be up to the Southern New England to keep the case closed by constantly improving its service

concern itself with clean streets and
