TAKE UP RATES
OF TELEPHONES
Public Utility Commission TO
Issue Order Shortly.
(From The NEWS correspondent.l

(From the NEWS Correspondent
Trenton, Oct. 10:-At the conclu-
sion yesterday afternoon of the con-
ference of the State Board of Public
Utility Commissioners with represen-
tatives of the various telephone COM
panies operating in New Jersey, on
the question of an order providing
for the elimination of discrimination
in rates, it was announced that the
State Board would take under consid-
GRAFTON the ideas and suggestions
given by the companies representa-
tives. These suggestions will be
weighed by the Utility Commissioners
in connection with the detailed report
and recommendations made recently
after a full Investigation, by Chief
Inspector Philander Belts. 1t is ex-
pected that after giving due consid-
Grafton to the report, recommended
tions and all the suggestions made at
the conference, the Commission will
issue its order.
The conference and the ~investiga-
ton made by Mr.. Belts were the re-
suit of an order made by the board
some time ago directing the tele-
phone companies to file complete
oSICuuiCo Nv WIS thC ioIOp tho sou
for all classes of service. The COM
panies were also directed to file lists
showing the customers receiving SER
vice at other than scheduled rates,
and information as to whether the
special rates were the subject of spe-
cial contracts or not. All the tele-
phone companies filed such schedules,
and they disclosed much discrimina-
ton through obsolete rates, through
special rates given for rights-of-way
for telephone lines and for other rea-
sons. Inspector Belts then probed
the whole situation and made his re-
port.
Special interest attaches to the
probable action of the Utility Com
mission because of the investigation
which the commissioners had been
making with reference to the charge
of telephone users in Camden and
vicinity Of discrimination In tele-
phone rates. The hearing In the
Camden matter was a lengthy one,
and the finding of the State Board
is expected to be handed down with
in the next week OF two. 1t has been
charged that If the Camden rates
complained Of, and which are claimed
to be too high, are permitted to re-
main in force, rates in other parts
of the state will also be raised.

Tuesday, charged with highway rob-
berry. Mrs. Annie Holton, an aged

pie of days ago, across a field, she
was attacked by two boys who stole

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

D1TO EVENING NEWS:
Reading in your valuable paper
statements of Mr.. Avchen against
Patrolman Andrew Jensen. We as
citizens as taxpayers In North AM
boy were surprised to hear COM
plants against Mr.. Jensen in refer
ence to the performance of his duties
as patrolman.
We must in cause of Justice state
that Patrolman Jensen performs his
duties faithfully and Hall avenue
never looked on Sundays or any other
week days as at present. 1t is a fact
that in performing his duties he car
ries out the law and city ordinance
to the full extent and does not allow
some persons to make 1t a Mulberry
street market on Sundays or permit
their stands and show cases to take
up the whole sidewalk: and we are
positive that every law abiding citi-
zen and taxpayer agrees with Patrol
man Andrew Jensen's actions. and
wish that the law would be enforced
throughout the city, then our friends
in other parts of the city would feel
relieved from the foreign population,
who do not understand Il laws
and city ordinances, who consequent
ly take advantage of some. Our
motto is, Let a good man remain
where he is needed. Jensen for us or
for friends In any other part of the
city.
We. the undersigned representing
the sentiment of Polish people and
most Of the taxpayers In fifth and
sixth wards, add our protest to that
which was said or printed against
Patrolman Jensen.

were regarded by these rebel
sympathizers as outlaws. Rep
