RAILROAD RESTORATION BIZ
NEEDS ONLY WILSON'S SIGNATURE
Telephones Must
Be Kept in Condition
by the Company

Senator Cookies bill amending the
code so as to force telephone compa-
ries to keep the telephones of sub
scribers in good condition was re-
ported yesterday by the committee
on courts of justice after a long de-
late. The following amendment is
inserted in section 4.055 of the code
Telephone companies shall keep the
telephones furnished their subscrlb-
ers in proper order for use, and II
any such company fa... after two
days written no ice, to repair any
such telephone, such company shall
be fined not less than IS nor more
than ten dollars for each days fail
ure to make the proper repairs. The
written notice aforesaid may be given
by mail. and il duly addressed and
deposited in the post office. there
shall be prima facio presumption
that the notice was received by the
company"
Senator Cooke is said to have in
troduced the bill after an unfortu-
nate personal experience in which his
telephone was out of repair TOR some
time, he being unable TO get the com
pany to place 1t in useable condition.
The committee reported out q
number OF their bills. most OF them
being uncontested.
=
reported senate bill No. 40, providing
for the inspection of gasoline. nap
tina, benZine and other liquids and
fluids used for heating and power
purposes. The bill places the distri
button of these liquids under strict
| regula ton and its PROCESS is of wide
interest to large number of peo-
pie.
With the passage of one local and
! two uncoutestad bills. nothing was
accomplished by the senate yester-
day. Two other bills were taken up
and argued at some length but no
action was taken on either One of
these provides for increased remun-
Grafton for commissioners of the rev.
enue. This bill was opposed by Sem
! ator Parsons, who was OF the opinion
that all commissioners get as much
at present as they earn.
Senators Trfnklc and Gum sup
ported the bill but action was de-
ferred until the opponents can study
the committees report and become
more familiar with the recommend
| ed changes.
| Senator Goolrick's bill amending
| the workmen's compensation law was
| debated for an hour and adjourn
ment was taken while Senators West
Trinkle and Goodrich were arguing
| the merits of one phase of it The
most important changes in the bill
are raising the n1axln~un con1pensa-
1 ton from $10 to sI2 per week: rais-
/ ing death claims fror $4,000 to $3.-
/ 500; raising the maximum which
I can be paid under total disability
from $4,000 to $4,000 and cutting the
waiting period from Ia to 10 days.
