doing business in that county 10 connect
their plants. The effect OF an order. issued
approving new rates OF both companies
is to sanction the physical connection
which formerly existed between the com
panies, but for which fee OF 10 cents
was charged. The advance In the rates
and the abolition of the 10-osnt connection
fee which - prohibited under the present
law is the accomplishment OF the same
purpose under a different guise.
In taking up several telephone cases, the
commission has given permission to the
Crownover Telephone company of Sargent,
to return to it's old rate OF 25o for farm
line switching after showing that the ad-
vance to 40 cents made some time ago has
worked to its disadvantage and threat
ended in fact to be the cause of the estab-
lishment Of another line in that vicinity,
The Lawrence Telephone company has
advised to discontinue granting 2b cents
discounts, where three months rental are
paid in advance. The practice Of furnish
ing batteries free Of charge IL subscriber
pays a full year In advance Ia also con-
demned by the commission and the
Nuckoils county concern has been told to
not indulge in that in the future The
rate to be charged by the Lawrence COM
