TELEPHONE co. AGREES TO
3,OOO,OOO CUT ON TERMS'I
Counsel Says Prof. Bemis's Figures Will Be Accepted
if Corporations Own Property Valuation Is Per-
mitted to Stand-Court Fight Otherwise.

Two party home telephones iu Man
haitian and The Bronx are put at S3s for
700 calls.
-Four party lines in homes in northern
Manhattan. the southern Bronx. Brook
Ign. Astoria and Hunters PORT are
listed ct $50 for GOO calls.
Additional calls on the lines described
above are put at FIVE cents each up TO
Loo calls and then cheaper until the
rate is two and a half cents "A call on
more than 5000 messages a year.
THE great benefit would thus come to
the small user" Prof. Bemis explained
"He would save both money and calls.
Every subscriber would gain from 6 to
IL per cent"

should be cut from : cents to % cents

by means ~ these reductions hotels

this would cover all payments to the
telephone company. and in the case uf
all hotels n large apartment houses
would go far toward the wage of
switchboard operators.
Prof. Bemis made this important cum

that a lack OF this important chemi-

In some quarters that the United States
