MILLS GREATLY CONCERNED
OVER A MYSTERIOUS BILL

A Rock Hill dispatch Of Satur-
day TO the Charlotte News says
that there has been no little spec
ulation there as to the motive be-
hind the introductian of bill in
the Legislature requiring all cot
ton mills in York county to con-
meet with sewerage. The bill
was introduced by Representative
Creech. of Barnwell, says the
dispatch.
Members of the York delega-
cation had nothing to do with
the introduction of the bill, so
far as is known, and Represen-
tative Hutchinson. of Rock Hill,
said he had never heard of the
measure before its introduction.
If any voters of York requested
the bill it is not known, and it is
strange that the matter was not
presented to the York delegation
If anyone desired such legisla-
ton. 1t is understood that the
bill is a rider to one introduced
by a representative from Spar
Ia 'burg county. While the text
OF the bill had not been received
in Rock Hill. it was understood
that under its provisions all mills
would be REQ ulired TO connect the
homes of the operatives with
sewerage. With the exception
of Yorkville and Rock Hill, there
are no sewerage systems in the
county and in the case Of many
of the mills it would cost thous-
ands of dollars to erect and equip
sewerage plants. In fact, in
some cases it would be equal to
contiscation of property, say the
mill owners.

WANTS UNCLE SAM To BUY
C0UNTRrS WIRE SYSTEMS

Postmaster General Burleson
on Saturday submitted TO the
United States senate the recon-
mendations of the departmental
committee appointed by him to
investigate the practicability of
government ownership of tele-
phone and telegraph lines.
The report declared tnat "the
OILY way to afford the people the
complete and modern postal facil-
tiles that the constitution makes
it the duty of the government to
provide" is by carrying out the
following suggestions:
Il That Congress declare a
government monopoly over all
telegraph. telephone and radio
communication and such other
means for the transportation of
intelligence, as may hereafter
develop;
2-That Congress acquire by
purchase at appraised value the
commercial telephone network,
except farmer lines;
3-:That Congress authorize
the postmaster general to issue,
in his discretion ana under such
regulation as he may prescribe,
revokable licenses for the opera
ton. 10y private individuals, as
soclations, companies and corpor-
porations, of the telegraph ser
vice and such parts of the tele-
phone service as may not be
acquired by the government.
The report says further that
according to the best available
data, the capitalization of the
long distance and toll lines rep
resents approximately $500, O0O,-
600 and the capitalization of the
entire cOmmert i netw, rk ap-
proximately is $500, 600, 600 The
cost to the government would be
less than the appraised value,
since it would be undesirable for
the government to purchase the
real estate holdings of the COM
panies. Exchanges would be
leased until Accommodations could
be provided in the postoffices
and stations
