TELEPHONE RATES

The new local exchange telephone
rates became effective June 1st.
AS agents for the United States
Government the Cumberland Tele
phone Company announced the new
rates to be effective May 1st, but the
Company was enjoined from putting
the rates into effect and pending court
decisions the new rates have been
withheld. The injunction has re-
Gently been dissolved and the new
rates have been made effective from
and after June 1, 1919.
The telephone company explains that
the new rates are necessary in order
that additional revenue may be secur-
ed to meet the increased operating
expenses. When the new rates were
first announced the Postmaster
General declared that the owners of
the telephone systems would not in
any way benefit from the rate
changes because practically all Of the
increased operating expenses were
due to increased wages paid to en-
ployes.
1t is stated that the need for in
creased revenue is due to economic
conditions and Is not the result of
the control and operation Of the tele-
phone properties by the United States
Government The new schedule of
rates is practically the same which the
Telephone Company had prepared for
to the Railway Commission
at the time the properties were taken
over by the Government.
The Company expresses confidence
that the public will recognize the need
for additional revenue to meet the in.
creased wages and other expenses
which are so evident in every line

lay before their people, on Thrift Sun

sons FOR perpetuating the LESSONS OF
sane saving, wise spending and safe
Investment which the American people
learned through the selfsaccrifce
imposed by tn war.
Each congregation will receive di
rect message from Secretary Glass

read from the pulpit, setting forth the
reasons why the government, is fos-
tering the spirit of thrift as i perma-
nent American Characteristic. { Pastors
nave been asked to devote al least a
part of their sermons on Thfift Sun
day to the subject of saving. IA letter
to the pastors of all denominations,
sent by Harold Braddock, Director of
the Savings Division, read IL part as
follows:
" We are hoping you will be able
to assist the local Savings Director in
carrying on the Savings Campaign in
his community, and that yo,, will i'm.
press upon the members of the organ
l2atlons connected with your church
the desirability of careful saving for
some worthy object. 1t would be to
their interest to be enrolled as Govern
ment Savings Societies. The Savings
and Thrift Stamps securitiey offered
by the government are so safe and
so accessible to the Investor of such
small amounts that we also feel that
il the members of these organizations |
begin investing their savings in /
Government securities it viii aid the
members to feel that they have
more direct stake and interest in their
Government, and make them more
active and intelligent citizens.

the following letter to Messrs. F.. Col

beats two and three, relative to thu
new Pascagoula-Mos Point highway
4 Gentlemen.-If mistake not, yor
gentlemen have been appointed by the
Board of Supervisors of Jackson Coun
ty to select the material and plans fol
the improvements OF the road from
Randal's Ferry, Moss Point, to
Rourke's corner. Pascagoula, now
contemplated, and as authorised by the
recent election held in Beats Nos. 2

ried to issue bonds for the purpose to
the amount of $75,OO0OO. Further
more, understand that it is con-
templated that the road shall be paved
for it's full length 1s feet wide.
trust that ! am not intruding, if
this be the plan, in inquiring why 1S
feet? Will you or some one interest
ed, please explain why an 1S foot
paved roadway is necessary. 1t seems
to me that ten feet would be sufficient,
carry the traffic, and the money thus
saved could be used in extending the
road in another direction, or on ac-
cross Dog river if this deemed advi-
sable.
| do not pose as road expert, or to
hold any special knowledge with re-
ference thereto, but about the only
good that can see in an eighteen
foot paved roadway is to furnish the
speed maniacs chance to shoot at
the rate of 40 miles per hour. plus
submit this for your consideration,
and in view of the fact it is matter
in which the public is vitality interest
ed, as you will be spending public
money, hope that ! am not violating
any ethics in simultaneously sending
q copy of this letter to the county /
papers which | am doing, with the re-
quest that they shall publish in current
issue. | believe that discussion of
the subject would be beneficial to all
)f us.
Expressing to you my very highest
regards, | beg to remain,

Mr.. H. C. Herring,
Moss Point, Miss.

Moss Point, Miss.
Dear SIR
acknowledge receipt of your letter
of Gath, addressed to Dr. Martin and
myself, copies of which have been sent
to the press for publication. Personal
ly take no offense at this, as | am
sure you are actuated only by desire
to secure the best results from money
expended, and as the Board of Super
visors also wish this, join you in the
hope that discussion of the subject
will be beneficial to all concerned. No
one could be better pleased than |,
either, if we coud save money enough
on this to extend the road on north
from Dog river
| do not believe however that ten
foot roadway would be satisfactory or
lasting. The Speed maniacs to whom
you refer. would still attempt the 40
miles an hour in meeting or passing
other vehicles. II concrete road
were built 10 feet wide, it would
of course have to be built up on the
sides with some other kind of material
and if two automobiles or trucks met
on this each would have to put two
wheels off the side of the concrete in
passing, and neither would want to
slow down. The result | am afraid
would very soon be the edges Of the
concrete would be broken and the
other road material pulled away from
them This is the statement of road
engineers with whom we have discus
sed this matter, and | am sure you will
agree that if ten feet were found too
narrow, and later the width had to
be increased, it would not only be ex-
pensive, but | doubt if satisfactory
job could ever be done.
The best way to Judge this matter, it
seems to me, would be to try and
find a piece of concrete road 10 feet
wide, if such there be, where the ira
fife would be somewhat similar to
what the road here will be CALLED
upon to bear, and see if it is stand
ing the test | should like to ask II
you know of such piece of road, or,
rs l am also sending copies of this
etter to the country papers, wether
m, ,f tho vao1aro
This letter is written without an
to consul with other men,
)ers of the board, but | am sure all
ire actuated by the desire to get the
very best results for the money ex-
,ended, that they will welcome the
ullest dicussion of the matter, and
hat If it can be shown conclusively
hat any less width than IL feet will
4nswer, they will be glad to make
he change.
Very truly yours,
