SCHOOL COURSE REDUCED.
Board Of Education at Garrison Low
ers the Existing Standard.

Special to Times-RepuDlcan.
Garrison, June 3.-The board of ed
ucation did as those members who
had pledged themselves to lower the
existing standard said they would do
before election this spring. AT their
meeting of last week they took action
on the question and by a vote of three
to two reduced the present four year
high school course, to two year
course.
This action on the part of the
board has caused no end of comment
and it is not at all unlikely that the
people of Garrison who are OF the
progressive element. will appeal for
a reconsideration of the action and,
it is limited, new school building may
result in addition to the reinstatement
of the four year course. This action
would work a decided detriment to
two classes of our high school, if it
should be carried out according to the
intention. as they would be thrown out
of school now instead of attending for
a year or two longer.

The President of the Central Union
.,t. Branch Of the Bell System
Tells Some Inside Facts.

In the financial report of the Cen
trail Union Telephone Company, which
is branch of the Bell System. COW
ering its operations for 1907, the gross
revenue is shown TO have been $4,6ll,-
ass. This compares with gross rev.
enue of $4,112,S22 in 1906, $3,634, OLA in
1905 and $3,369,210 in 1904. Financial
reports covering the years from 1904
to 1906 inclusive were not furnished
for publication. In 1907 the com
panys expenses were s3,370,676, leav'
ing the net earnings $1,240,S09 Aft
er the deduction of interest charges
there remained surplus of I126,S6t
for the year.
In his report to the stockholders
G. Richardson, president of the com
pany, goes at considerable length in
to an explanation of the matter o.
dealing with competition in the ter
ritory occupied and shows that con
solidation of competing plants has
been effected a. thirty-nine differen
| towns. He states that Independent
y nave 6Out iiilO Inv iASiN
with sufficient knowledge of Inc bust
ness and furnish service at rates 81
| low that they do not return fai
profit on the investment. q To hold il
position the Central Union has had t
meet those rates.
THE Central Union Telephone Com
pany,' says HIr. Richardson, has no
been making returns on the invest
ment for the past twelve years, ant
it cannot expect to make any return
whatever until rates are raised, al
though it will never be necessary L
fix tLose rates at a figure greater thar
the public can afford to pay for tn,
service rendered. TO sum up thu
situation, but one thing is now neces
sary to put your company upon a pay
| ing basis. The rates for telephone
service at our exchanges must b.
raised to the point where the revenue
will permit of greater expenditur,
for maintenance of plant and theI
furnish a fair return upon the invest
ment. This has been impossible
owing to the competitive conditions
which are not equalled in the terri
tory of any other telephone compan.
