Washington, d. c., Jan. 3l.-Post-
master General Burleson today sub
mitted to the senate recommended
tions of the department. A commit
tee was appointed to investigate the
practicability of government owner
ship of telephone and telegraph
lines.
The report declared that the only
way to afford TO the people complete
and modern postal facilities that the
constitution makes 1t the duty of the
government to provide is In carry
ing out the following suggestions: %
That congress declare government
monopoly over all telegraph and tel
ephone radio communication and
such other means of transmission, in
telligent as may hereafter develope.
That congress acquire by pur-
chase at appraised value the CONNER
cial telephone network except farmer
lines.
That congress authorize the post
master general to issue. in his dis

operation by private individuals. as
sociations. companies and corpora

parts of the telephone service as not

fhe ecommendatfoRs we're signed
by Daniel C. Roper, first assistant
postmaster general; Merritt O..
Chance, chief clerk of the postoffice
department, and j. c. Rooms, super
intendent of the division of salaries
and allowances,
The report states that the United
States is alone of the leading nations
which has left to private enterprises
ownership and operation of telegraph
and telephone facilities. and that
practically all economists agree that
these should be controlled by the gov
ernment, 1t points out that telegraph
facilitives have not been extended to
the small towns and villages along
with postal accommodations.
The report continues: The best
available data shows the capitaliza-
tion of long distance and toll lines
represents approximately $200,O00,-
900 and the capitalization of the en-
tire commercial network is approxi-
imately 900.000.000 The cost to
the government would be less than
the appraised value since it would
be undesirable for the government to
purchase real estate holdings"
The report was sent to the senate
in response to resolution by Sena-
tor Norris.
