Public Utilities

filed with it against certain public util-
tiles and also received another COM
plant, the details of all Of which fol-
low:
Lew, Greene & Mon. Tel. Co.
Dr. Ralph A. Parker Of Greene and
seven others have filed a complaint at
the office of the Public Utilities Conf
mission against the Lewiston, Greene
e Monmouth Telephone Co., and the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
Co., alleging that the service from the
Monmouth exchange Is inadequate and
insufficient and that the New England
Telephone & Telegraph Co. has failed
after due request from certain Of the
petitioners to avail themselves Of such
means as is possible to supply tele-
phone service to the petitioners in the
town of Greene, Androscoggin county.
The petitioners say in their COM
plant:
1.-The service is inadequate inasmuch
as the Monmouth exchange does not
contain a large number Of people with
whom we wish direct service. There
fore, we suffer less.
1.-THE Monmouth exchange is INSULT
Gent inasmuch as we are obliged to
call long distance and pay a toll fee
and suffer much annoying delay (some-
times excessively in order to commun
icate with the people Of the Lewiston
exchange with whom we wish to COM
municate in social and business way.
1T is also insufficient because the
people connected with the Lewiston ex.
change are subject to similar expense,
delay and annoyance whenever thew
wish to communicate with u.s."

Much time was spent today on the
complaint Of Claus A. Spreckles that
the food administration declined to
allow him to pay a slightly higher
price than agreed upon for some Cuban
sugar, to keep him from closing his

the request was declined because II
