Will Get Reduced
Telephone Rates

Following the investigation Of
,ress telephone service between Car
son City and Reno by the State Pu)-
Tic Service commission, the Bell Tel
cphone company, which owns the
lines operating between the two
towns, has announced a substantial
reduction in rates.
heretofore the telephone press sci.
vice between the two towns has been
the same as the general COmmerc1al
rate. without regard to the time cor
sumcd or the hours in which the ser
vice was employed. This made al
most prohibitive the obtaining OF
news from Reno. And on the other
end Reno was up against the SAM
expense. Therefore, in the transmlS-
sion of news tclegraphic service wa,
found cheaper, and the Lord knows
that is high enough.
The press telephone rate as now
established, which went into effect
on the first OF the month, will enable
the papers to get news from Reno al
q moderate cost, and no doubt the
Carson papers. will take advantage
Of il. 1t is now in order for the pco-
pie Of the town to give the papers a
reasonable support i'll their efforts.
