Preparing Here For Government Control
 of Telephone Lines

Government supervision and con trol of telephone and telegraph wires is expected in Bridgeport within the near future Apropos the introduction of bill in Congress to give the gov ernment supervision over all tele- phone wires, Manager w. W. Knight in this city said today:
 Tt is expected that the government law will soon be enacted and the various lines of communication here will come directly under the govern ment.
 T do not foresee that the local ser vice will in any way be hampered by the government control which prob ably will be more in the nature of a censorship than otherwise.
 ''At the present time the govern ment offices and officers are we'll cared for by the various message transmit ting companies, their calls being ex- pedited in all exchanges throughout the country"
 A similar condition prevails and the same opinion is current today in the telegraph offices of the city. Little difficulty in procuring transmission of private messages except in code is anticipated, from such government control as is now sought in Washing ton.
