Will Fight Illinois Decision.

The decision of the supreme court
of Illinois granting property and power
rights on the Desplaines river to the
Economy Light and Power Company
is to be fought by the state of Wiscon-
sin, according to Attorney Edward T.
Cahill, who represents the common
wealth of Wisconsin.
Attorney Cahill AYERS that Wiscon-
sins claim is that neither the state
of Illinois nor it's agents, the trustees
of the Illinois and Michigan canal,
could part with their title to the land
now claimed by the power company,
being in part the bed and bars of the
Desplaines river which has it's origin
in the state of Wisconsin.
It is proposed by the counsel for
Wisconsin to take the case to the SUI
preme court of the United States,
maintaining that the state of Illinois
has attempted to convey public lands
to a private corporation for pecuniary
gain.

Phone Rates Increased.

The railroad commission made an
order, after hearing, on the applica
ton of the Boomer Telephone Com
panY fixing the rates which the COM
pany shall charge for residence
phones at one dollar per month, in
stead of rs cents, the rate formerly
charged.
The company asked to be permitted
to charge $2.25 per month for COM
bination business and residence serv-
ice. This, the commission says,
should not be permitted because of
the discriminatory tendency. And
commenting upon this, the commits
sioners say: Multiple party service,
except for rural lines where it is nee
essary, has generally given rise to
complaints and discomfort. Applicants
plant is capable of rendering first
class service and party lines in excess
of two on a line would doubtless de-
teriorate the service"
The purpose of the commission in
permitting the increase notice is to
permit the best service to the COM
munity, and it is pointed out that the
increased revenue to the company is
merely incidental to extension and
betterment.
