CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS
Mountain States Company Ad-
Vocates Commissions.

Denver Colo., Feb. l9.-Creat inter
est was manifested today in the announce
ment by President Field of the Mountain
States Telephone & Telegraph Company,
that he is in hearty accord with the plan
for the control of the company he repre-
sents by State Utilities Commissioners
elected by the people. The company,
which operates in the seven mountain
states, is one OF the biggest public serving
corporations in the country, and this an
nouncement, coming as it does, in the
midst OF public distrust Of all corporations,
shows a broad, far GIFTED policy that is
doing much toward bringing about a spirit
of confidence in the company and its
operations.
The annual report to the three thousand
Stockholders gives the cOmpany's balance
sheet and shows the growth of the tele-
phone business in the territory. 1t con-
tains much OF public interest and shows
the healthy condition of the company and
its affairs.
Der 81 1913, we had in our territory $40
exchanges, furnishing service TO eco, ,Ol6
exchange stations; there are p $50 stations
connected with our system on the lines OF
come citing companies, making total Of
20 So subscribers stations in service on
December 81, 1913, an increase of l9,5I+
during the year The total miles of ex-
change and toll lines, as OF December 81,
1918, were 53S ,666.O9 an increase of
p 2O47. 10 miles for the year. Total miles
of exchange and toll wire underground on
December 81, 1913, were 100 us. ..
Total miles OF toll line on the same date
were 76, ,9S4 50. Our company furnished
as well to minor companies toll service
over 8 ,Ol9 miles OF connecting toll line.
There are in the territory of the Mountain
