alton in the present charges through
out the country. Some cities and towns
have competing systems. providing low
rates. while others, like the capital,
have exceptionally high ones. This CON
dition has been used repeatedly in Con-
gress as an argument for Government
control.
Mr.. Burleson has announced the ap-
pointment Of David j. Lewis. Harry B..

can Telephone and Telegraph Company,

Ohio Telephone Company, as a com

graph, 20 consider similar action for

cation for employees deemed indis-
pensaOle to the operation OF the ser

that the school board could increase
her salary If 1t saw lit to take such an
action.
