WILL INVESTIGATE
TELEPHONE RATES
Judge Clark of Commission
to Hold Hearing Here
on June 27.

Many witnesses will be subpoenaed
to appear before Judge J. L. Clark of
the Public Service Commission when
he comes to Richmond, June 27 to be-
gin an investigation of telephone rates
of the Richmond Telephone company
at the. Boston Exchange
The hearing in all probability will
begin at 10 a. m. and will be held at
the court house. 1t will be informal
but witnesses will be examined under
oath. No expert will accompany Judge
Clark as the hearing on June 27 is ex-
pected to be merely preliminary to a
more searching investigation of the
facts brought out justify it.
Have Written Contracts.
The hearing is to be held on a COM
plant filed with the Public Service
Commission by S. H. Goble and twent-
ty-four other patrons of the Richmond
Home Telephone Company The COM
plant alleges that the patrons made
written contracts with the company
for the installation of an exchange at
Boston and service at $15 year. 1t is
alleged that the company has raised
the rate from SIS to $1S in violation
of it's contract and that the $1S rate
is eXhorbitant and unreasonable. 1t is
also alleged that the Richmond Home
Telephone company has in operation
an agreement with other public utili-
ty companies to divide the territory
served. No names are used of other
companies.
Allegations Are Denied.
The Richmond Home Telephone
company has filed with the commits
sion an answer denying every allega-
ton. The answer does set out that the
company did make contracts with a
few persons to furnish service for SIS
eral.
After hearing the oral testimony of
witnesses Judge Clark may have an ex.
pert go over the books of the defen-
dant company. When the investigation
is completed a finding and order will
be made and it will have the effect of
a judgment unless appealed to the
courts.
Informal Inquiry Made.
Judge Clark says informal inquiry
has been made of the Commission as
to the power of the city of Richmond
to grant a franchise to a pipe line
company which has its mains from the
West Virginia gas field to Marion, An
derson, Muncie and other Indiana gas
belt cities. There is already company
operating in Richmond, he saws, and it
will be necessary for the city to get
permission of the Public Service Com
mission before a franchise can be le-
gally granted. This permission Judge
Clark further said, would depend upon
facts brought out at hearing, if re.
quested.
The Commission has heard indirect.
ly that complaint may be made against
the rate of the Richmond Water Works
company. No complaint. however, has
been filed. The company surrendered
its franchise some time ago and is now
operating under an indeterminate per-
NIT.

GAMBLING AND DRINK
A NEAR EDITORIAL.

A long time ago a mother wrote The
Record letter and asked us to write
story about the evils of gambling
She said her boy was gambling and
that perhaps word from US would
help to save him. She said that he
was breaking her heart-the boy she
had nursed from n babe and in whom
all her hopes and ambitions were cen
tered
II was n sad story-that anonymous
letter. Il came SO long ago that we
have forgotten when and we never
knew from whom. II was neglected
by us-at least. delayed but not for
gotten.
II was not acted upon at the time.
for what could we write that wouIf
appeal to a boy who was deliberately
throwing his life away and breaking
his own mothers heart! What can
We write now?
That was SO long ago that that par
tieular boy has braeed up and became
a man. or he has gone to the devil for
good. We can't do anything for that
mother. God knows we wish we could.

ance with the yonng men on Main

Light VOTE At
SCHOOL ELECTION

A very small vote was cast at the
annual school election on Moneay;

were DR.. C. II. Wilkinson and NJ. ].

themselves as members Of the board

years. The fact that they had no
competition for the offices to be filled
accounts in a large measure for the

forgot about its being election day.
There was no election in South Can
