the months of October 1907, and
March. 1908. for the last named two
months the number in service fell be
low 500. We further found that the
$50 phones in Hotel Hattiesburg are
the property of said hotel, and that the
Cumberland Telephone Company, only
leases or rents to the hotel switch
board or transmtter, for which said
company charges the hotel a rental for
its use. We are therefore Of the opin-
ion that the $50 phones installed in
the several rooms of the hotel cannot
be counted in making up the required
500 as the basis for the increased
rate.
We beg to further report that the
representatives of the company adj
mitted that their charges in all in
stances had not been uniform, and that
in some instances determinations had
! been made, in rates charged for the
same service, but that in all such cases
the determinations were made in favor
of subscribers who had been patrons
of the company for long time; and
when We advised the representatives
of the company that such discrimina-
lions were unlawful in public service
corporations, they promised that the
company would discontinue all dis
examinations at once. We further beg
to report that in our opinion, those
\ subscribers who have been discrimin

Among the many trials that Presi-
