taken.
The complaints concerning tele-
phone service which have Deen receiv-
ed by the commission during the past
year and a half bulk much larger
than the total of the minor complaints
against the railroads" Mr.. Hemans
told Times reporter In the
smaller towns, where there has been
independent lines, complaints have
increased In many instances. In 9th
ers there seems to have been no trou-
BILE.
Mr.. Hemans said that little atten.
ton would be given TO the complaints
OF individual subscribers.
ut is fact that widespread com.
plant exists" he said. The thing
to do is to get at the cause which pro
duces Il, and not waste too much
time with individual grievances. We
have had inspectors testing out the
service here for the last 10 days. Now
we propose to hear what the company

conditions. After that we shall en-
