The resolution follows;
Whereas. Senate Bill No. Nine would
impose further tax unon all Rutomo-
blles owned in and operated In the City
OF Wilmington; and
Whereas. The present license fees on
automobiles are higher than those OF
other states; and
Whereas. The operation OF this law

Marshall Kirkley, who alleges that

EVANGELIST TALKS
ON DESTINATION
FRIDAY NOON
Pleads For An Adequate
Preparation for Heaven
ly Home.

That every man is preparing now
for the destination which Ia TO come
be it heaven or hell was the thought
driven home by Bob Jones in his
talk az he Lasalle theater Friday
noon. The man who comes to the
end Of his journey and can't say i
am ready, has failed in his life
work no matter how many riches
he has accumulated or how many
monuments the world has erected
20 his name" he declared.
Air. Jones pointed out that death
was not the end OF things. that a
person dying always intimates that
he is going somewhere. "Destina-
tion must follow journey" he con
tinued and the question is where
are you going?" He then pleaded
for a adequate preparation here for
a heavenly home and declared tina
suffering doesn't save. as some would
have us believe. but that belief in
the Son OF God Is the only way 70
salvation.
The last cottage prayer meetings
were held Friday morning.

The Facts of the Telephone
Situation in Mississippi
-R,
The Service Situation

Telephone service should be adequate, ef-
kefent and dependable; sufficient in guam
tity, satisfactory in quality and furnished
without interruption.
Adequate service is dependent upon ade-
quate facilities.
Efficient service is dependent upon sut-
fcient nNmber Of trained employees TO
maintain and operate the facilities.
Dependable service is dependent upon
both adequate facilities and trained forces.
The facilities are paid for With the money
invested in the business. Trained forces
are paid with the money paid to the Com
pany by the public for the service furnished
In no other way can these essential req
uisites of service be had. The needed facil-
.dties are never paid for out of the earnings
of the company, and the employees are
never paid out Of the capital Of the COM
pany.
Subsequent statements will show what
the Company has done to meet its obliga-
ton 70 furnish both facilities and forces.
Everyone knows that this Company's
service has been dependable. Throughout
the war and in spite of strikes and the most
abnormal conditions ever known. our serv-
ice was furnished without interruption
While the service now is not adequate to
meet the unprecedented demand, due to
causes which will be given later, the facts
show that the Company is now furnishing a
far greater quantity of service than ever
before.
The following figures show the service
furnished within the State of Mississippi.
