Telephone Increase Held Up

An order suspending the proposed
increase of 20 per cent. in telephone
rates that was to have become opera
tive on May at the direction of Post
master General Burleson, as director
OF the telephone systems under gov
eminent control, was issued ON Thurs
day afternoon by the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners.
The order fixes to-day at IL O'Clock
at the State House, for hearing on
the reasonableness and business of the
proposed increases. The new rates
stand suspended until August /, un-
less the board in the meantime shall
approve them.
The memorandum also contained an
elaboration of the boards position in
refusing to enter into the stipulation
submitted last Tuesday by Farmland
Briggs, under which it was proposed
that the increased rates should become
effective yesterday with the under
standing that in the event of the
United States Supreme Court holding
the advance to be illegal, the increases
should be refunded to subscribers. On
this phase of the question the board
said 1t has no power to enter into anv
arrangement that would be binding
upon the public. 1t is pointed out
that the companies themselves NAV
voluntarily arrange to reimburse sub
scrlbers in the event of the increases
being declared illegal.

Road Improvement DELAYED

| There is quite mix-up in the
awarding of three resurfacing road
contracts in Burlington county-the
Observation-Disclosures, Bordentown-
Crosswicks and Bordentown- George
town roads.
During March the board of freehold
ers advertised for bids for the resurfac-
ing of these roads, to be opened on
April 2. When that day arrived there
was only one bid offered, that of Ross
& Whalen, of Trenton. The board
awarded the contracts to that firm, but
later were notified, through the State
Highway Commission, that the award
was illegal, by advice OF the attorney
general, on the ground that one bid
is not competitive.
The freeholders thereupon at once
readvertised for bids, to be opened on
May z.
Thus far there had been no compli-
cations, but on last Friday Ross &
Whalen made application to Justice
Kalisch for an order to show cause
why mandamus should not be allow
ed to compel the board OF freeholders
to carry out its part of the contract.
The Justice issued the order, return
able for hearing on June 8.
Robert Peacock, solicitor for the
board of freeholders, will appear before
Justice Kalisch today and explain the
situation. He also will state that il
the Justice will sign an order, author
izing the board to permit Ross &
Whalen to proceed with the road work
under their former bid, the board will |
acquiesce at once, thus being relieved |
of any doubt as to the legality of the
single bid received on April 2.

The strongest voltage that a wire

to kill Dennis Mccarthy, an employee

terrific electric shock did not even rem
