HIGH RATE
Inserted In Telephone
Franchise.
PATRONS INTERESTS IGNORED

Patrons Of the Basin Telephone
Company got severe jolt at the
hands Of the City Council last Mon
day night when a rate Of Sl.G5 for
residence phones and SO 75 for bust
ress and office phones were inserted
in the franchise that is to be sold IN
he next lew weeks.
The Basin Telephone Company
was almost as much surprised, FOR
while they asked for the above rate,
it is said on good authority, they only
expected a rate Of Sl.50 and $500,
the rate that was most commonly
spoken Of, and one that the public in
general thought would be reasonable
But the Council thought otherwise
and by vote of four to one the high
er rate was adopted.
County Attorney Green Clay Wal
ker and Judge Forest Stapp made
every effort to have the Council sit
with the Fiscal Court and see if
some agreement could not be made
that would protect the patrons of the
| company throughout thecounty. This
proved Of no avail, Judge l.. l.. Wal
ker. who represented the company.
contending that separate contract
or agreement must be made with the
Fiscal Court, fixing the rate for the
county patrons. Mayor Duncan was
Of the same opinion and thought the
matter should be settled at that meet
ing of the Council regarding the rate
for the city patrons.
Judge Walker, on behalf of the
telephone company, then asked that
the rate be fixed at Sligo and s2.75.
which is the standard rate. used by
the Bill Telephone Company all
over the country, except under war
conditions. He told the Council that
If such rate was fixed that the Bas-
tin Telephone Company then has
something that they could sell while
at lower rate it could not be sold to
the Bell Company.
Mayor Duncan then asked if there
was motion on the higher rate. when
| Councilman Bailey motioned that the
standard rate of Sl.65 for resident
pf ones be adopted and was seconded
by Councilman Galley; Mayor Dun
can then put the vote and it was car
| ried four to one, Councilman Conn,
voting nay.
Councilman Gulley then made a
motion that the rate of S275 for bus
mess phones be adopted and was
seconded by Bailey; the vote on this
motion carried four to one, Mr.. Conn
again voting nay.
The franchise in full is published
on another page of this issue, and
when sold will be for a term of ten
years.
The rate adopted and inserted in
the franchise, means about 5000, a
month additional over the old rate, or
equivalent to about $4,000 year
and for the ten years would mean the
sum Of $4,000.
This is based on the city PATRONS
alone. estimated to be about two
hundred and does not include some
four or five hundred phones in the
county. What the increase, if any,
will be on the county patrons depends
upon the contract with the Fiscal
Court and the Telephone Company,
if such a contract can be made.
Mr.. Creech, however, stated at the
meeting Of the Council last Monday
night that it was not his intention to
raise the late in the county unless it
became necessary to install a metallic
system. such system as now being

The oiled streets served to damage

A good many people are anxious for

we are to blame. In the future all
should decline to contribute. Those

JEWS WILL OBSERVE
BEGINNING OF THEIR
NEW YEAR THURSDAY

On Thursday, September 25, the
festival of the New Year (Rosh Hash
anah) will be observed by the Jews
of the entire world. Like all thu
other Jewish holy days, the festival
commences at sunset on the preced-
ing day. Orthodox Jews observe two
days, whereas Reform Jews keep only
one day.
The festival of the New Year is one
of the most important in the whoie
Jewish calendar. 1t is the first of :.
series of holidays lasting nearly a
month. 1t is likewise the beginning
of the Jewish year and one OF its
principal features is the blowing of
the Shofar or rams horn.
Apart from its joyful and festive
nature, Rosh Hashanah is rich in
moral import and Significance. The
fact that it is the beginning Of the
New Year lends it special sacredness.
1t is the time of higher resolves, the
turning point of the year. 1t is the
day which brings home to the Jew
with great force the lesson that the
time is short and the work is grea !,
and that, as each year rolls quickly
by, the task must be accomplished
within a shorter period. The festi-
val is gentle reminder of the hrevity
of human existence but it optimisti-
cally stresses the doctrine that man,
far from being plaything in the
hands of fate, can realize his life's
work If he but takes advantage of
the swiftly fleeing moments
