Telephone Rates
 Are Investigated

A special meeting of the city coun- cil of Fairbanks was held last Mon day night for the purpose of decid ing whether or not the telephone rates of Fairbanks subscribers could be lowered. Nc decision was ar rived at, however and the matter was left in the hands of a commit tee of councilmen to investigate and report at the next meeting
 General Manager Howard M. Mer- ritt, of the Fairbanks Telephone Co.,, was present at the meeting and gave his views on the subject under discussion He stated that the com pany could not and therefore would not voluntarily lower the rates.
 No data regarding the telephone rates was submitted to the council. It seemed to be the sense of the councilmen, however. although no vote was taken in the matter, that if the phone rates were lowered, the company would get enough more subscribers to more than pay for the loss
 The matter of creek rates was also talked over, but the council decided that it had no jurisdiction in the matter.
