So. ORANGE WANTS
PHONE RATE DROP
Adrian Riker, Counsel, Declares
Provisions of Telephone Fran
chise Are Being Violated.

As foretold exclusively in the Eve
ming Star Saturday, Village Counsel
Adrian Ril1er submitted an opinion to
the South Orange Village Board of
Trustees last night in which he sub
Stimulates charges made by num-
Der of business men in South Orange
| to the effect that the New York Tele-
| phone Company is violating provi-
sions of its franchise in South Or
ange.
AS a result of the opinion the the
committee on public utilities. of which
Trustee Edward A. Marks is chair
man, was authorized to take such ac-
ton as may be necessary to compel
the company to refrain from the al
legged violation.
1t is alleged that the telephone
company has demanded charges for
telephone charges in South Orange
which are in excess of that which
subscribers are required to pay in
the town of Belleville, while the COM
pany's South Orange franchise, IL is
said, states that the telephone con-
Germ agrees that the general rates for
telephone service in the village snail
never be greater than the rates
charged in any other municipality IN
TIE oldIS Ol C4uctl VI b NHNSi PSFN-~
ton.
The franchise is dated November
4, 1898, and is signed by wv. ID. Sar-
gent, Vice-president, and Joel G.
Clark, secretary" of the telephone
company.
1t is the belief of Counsel Riker that
the subscribers in South Orange are
entitled to rates as low as those In
Belleville. Investigation has revealed
the fact, village subscribers declare,
that in Belleville business men have
unlimited service for $4S year While
in South Orange, where they were
paying $50 a year until February /
of last year, for unlimited service in
the Oranges, they have since been
told by the telephone people that they
must enter into a new contract with
a sliding scale, according to the num-
Der of messages the subscribers re-
quire, for which they may pay as
high as $51 for 1000 calls and three
cents for every additional call. Some
business men in South Orange have
refused to enter into the new form of
contract.
The investigation was started by
the village authorities month ago
following allegations submitted by
Village Engineer Ira T. Redfern on
behalf of the business men. 1t de-
velops that the probe has revealed
the fact that the rate for residence
phones in South Orange is $50 a year
for a four-party line. while in Belle
vile, it is said, subscribers pay but
S24 a year for the same service.
What action Mr. Marks and his
committee will take is not known. A
with the telephone COM
pany's representatives will probably
be the first step. In the event of the
company refusing to meet the de-
mands of the committee, 1t is probable
the matter will be aired before the

White Bread.

Hygienists have long called atten-
ton to the serious consequences of
the increasing popular preference for
white bread. At present dark colored
bread is despised as peasants food"
In the towns the meanest workman
will eat only white bread. The -four
used for making this bread is OBJ
tanned by passing the meal through
very fine sieve, so that 1t contains
hardly anything but starch and cell
lulose. White bread, which plays an
important role with the French peo-
pie, is thus extremely poor in really
nourishing food, and it is to the in
creasing consumption of 1t that many
hygienists ascribe in France the
racial enfeeblement, the elimination
of stature and even the present de-
velopment of tuberculosis. Repre-
sensations have frequently been wide
ly made on this subject, but without
effect, for the bakers can provide only
what the public demands.--Paris Let
