CHICAGO PHONE co. HAS HABIT
OF IGNORING THE CITY


Chicago Telephone Co. is running
its business behind closed doors with

city's new Department of Public
Service is concerned. When Mon

service, writes a letter to the big Bell
monopoly, sometimes he gets an an

Though the 1907 city ordinance
granting special privileges to the
Chicago Telephone Co. says the COM
pany shall give city officials free ac-
cess to its books, a plain request for
information easy to get, is left I'M
answered by the c. T. C. officers.
Commissioner Ferry sent a letter
on Sept. 2, addressed to W. G. LUIS
combe, commercial superintendent
c. T. c., saying:
"Will you kindly let me know what
was the number of employees on your
payroll during each month of the
first six months of the years 1912,
1913 and 1914? This is for the sta
tisticaI file Of this department and l
would greatly appreciate it if you
will furnish this information.
During two weeks time the tele-
phone company has made no answer
or acknowledgement of receipt of
this letter.
Another letter not answered nor
acknowledged was mailed by Com

figures on these matters:
First: Standards of service. What

this connection I would like to secure
