NEW BRITAIN HOLDS RECORD.
Without Doubt Has Less Fires Thal
 Any Other City of Similar Size.


 Any Other City of Similar Size. Without doubt New Britain holds the record for having less fires than any other city in. New England of similar size. It is considered re- markable by the firemen that they are receiving so few calls this summer and some of them are beginning to wax impatient at the long spell of idleness with nothing to do but prAc- t:ce, read books or play rummy to rass away the time.
 During June there was but one bell alarm and this month there has also been but one, that occurring at 12:58 p. m. on July |. It has now been almost two weeks since the de- partment has been called out and this record is an unusual one for cities of this size.

public is entitled to protection from this unjust and unreasonable demand made upon them by the telephone peo- ple."
 If it is because of increased expen- ses the telephone company may have a just cause to raise rates, but if they are raising the rates before they have this expense then the labor depart ment would have just cause to in tervene. If the rate is increased and the subscribers are subjected to this additional expense, then the labor de- partment would certainly have right to see that the proposed increase in wages is made. The wages paid telephone operators is certainly little enough as it is and the public would perhaps not make so much complaint if they really knew that the opera tors would get more, yet many of the people believe that the companies would be justified in increasing the wages although the rate is not in- creased. All of this agitation is mere ly another step toward government ownership.

CITIZENS ROWLING OVER
 PROPOSED INCREASE
Telephone Rates Effective in Little Rock April First Meet with Dis approval of Citizens. Enter
 ing Vigorous Protest

Little Rock, Feb. 28.-The citizens of Little Rock are up in arms over the proposed rate increase by the Lit tie Rock branch of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company. announced to become effective April 1. A largely attended conference was held Friday afternoon at the office of Mayor Taylor to discuss the situation. and enter vigorous protest against the proposed increase. There were committees present from the three cit les of Little Rock, Pulaski Heights and Argenta, the Chamber of Com merce the Board of Trade, and the City Federation of Woman's Clubs. Several officials of the telephone com pany were also present.
 General Manager J. H. Hiss of the company addressed the meeting in support of the proposed increase, and for an hour was a target for a volley of questions propounded by city off cials and citizens.
 MT. Hiss explained that the raise IS not so great as permissible under the franchise passed in 1904, and that all the company seeks is reasonable return on their investment. He es- inmates that the increase will provide $15 1000 year more revenue, and this Is to be expended in raising the salar- ies of the operators. He said the company had expended $207,O00 in betterments in the city in the last eighteen months, and that plans for the expenditure of $60,0O0 more in the near future. They have total of one and a half millions invested in the city, and the net earnings under present conditions are about 2 per cent. During the last year the com pany has practically rebuilt about twenty plants in the state.
 After discussion and -examina- tion lasting for more than two hours, a subcommittee on investigation was appointed consisting of the mayors of the three cities, one member from each council, State Labor Commis- sioner J. C. Clary and one representa- tive each of the Chamber of Com merce, the Board of Trade and the City Federation of Woman's Clubs. This committee held its first confer ence Friday night with representa- tives of the telephone company in an effort to get together on terms that will be mutually acceptable, and keep the matter out of the courts if pos sihle.
