Manager J. N. Weymouth of the Danielson division of the $. N. E. T. company stated Wednesday that the company's suggestion relative to sub scribers cooperating with the com pany to discourage giving the free use of telephones to persor.s who run in asking for such a privilege is the same as is being made throughout the state. In this movement tie company does not desire to antagonize it's subscrib- CTS, being desirous only of. remedying what in many instances has come te be an evil It IS pointed out that many persons who borrow telephone service do so to avoid subscribing therefor and that the service they borrow Is as valuable to them as that paid for by the subscriber. The contracts signed by subscribers provide that the ser vice is to be for the subscriber, mem CTS of the family, bis employees or in the interests of his business. In justice to itself, the company feels, MT Wey- mouth says, that subscribers should recognize these limitations.
