Railroad Commission Grants New
Rates.


The EdgertOn Telephone Company
with an exchange at Edgerton, serves
in all about 900 subscribers. 1t applied
to the Railroad Commission on Sept.
20 for authority to increase it's rates.
A public hearing on the application
was held at Madison on Oct. %. In
it's order issued today granting an in
crease, the Commission states: "We
have gone carefully over the various
expense items as set forth and have
examined carefully the annual reports
for many years. 1t appears that the
bookkeeping procedure which has
been followed has been in accordance
with good accounting pratice. While
the depreciation reserve has been set
up at a rate which is probably in
excess of normal requirments, it is
shown that proper debts have been
made to the reserve8for replacement"
In making it's estimate Of the COM
pany's revenue requirments for the
next year, the Commission took a
much lower valuation of the plant
than that given by the company. In
it's findings the Commission says: "In
view of the fact that we have used
a valuation in this case which is I'M
doubtedly somewhat less than the
true value of the property, and in
view of the further fact that costs
of material and labor for the ensuing
year will undoubtedly be somewhat
higher than the average for 1919,
even aside from the operators wages,
we believe the increase authorized to
be reasonable"
The new rates are: Main line, $3.50
per month, 2-party, $500 per month,
residence, main line, sits per roonth
2-party selection, $3.50, 4-party, $1.25,
rural within city limits, $1.25 per mo.
outside, $3.50 per month.
The above rates to be net, payable
in advance. Subscribers are to be
billed 25 cents per month in addition
TO the above rates which amount shall
be deducted if payment is made on or
before the last day of the month on
which service is rendered. Switched
subscribers are to be billed at so cents
per annum in addition to the above
rates which amount should be deduct
ed if payment is made during the
first month of the year.
This order shall become effective
on January 1, 1920.

OUR GREAT DRY DOCK.

1t is with pride that The Journal
calls attention to the completion of
the Bruce dry docks, the largest docks
of the kind on the Gulf. While there
are few minor improvements yet to
be made. the great docks are now
ready for business and will prove one
of Pensacola's greatest assets.
1t is probable that the first large
vessel to be locked by the Pensacola
company will be the big steel steam
ship, Lake Dymer, and the visiting
members Of the press association will
have an opportunity to see the great
docks in operation, probably today or
tomorrow.
This. with launching of the great
steel ship. just completed by the PEN
sacola ship building company, are two
events somewhat out OF the ordinary,
which are not strictly speaking on the
program of entertainment. which will
add to interest to the visit to this
port.

TEAR DOWN THE sHAcks.

The campaign which is to be waged
against the rat in Pensacola can not
attain to its full measure of success
until some Of the old shacks which
are numbering the earth in many Sec
ton Of the town are RACED to the
ground, or rendered rat proof by reno
walton.
If there are not sufficient ordinances
on the statute books to cover this mat
ter. then the commissioners should en-
act such laws as make it obligatory
for these rat traps" either to be de-
molished or else put In the proper con-
dition. II the owners or landlords will
not do this, then 1t is up to the city
to take charge and levy upon the
property for reimbursement.
Not only are these shacks a menace
to the health OF the city, but they are
unsightly and should not be tolerated.
It is up to the city commissioners to
pass such measures as are for the pro-
lection of the people Of Pensacola. The
time to do this is while the campaign
for rat determination is on. Let us
not delay in this matter. Of so great
importance to the healthfulness of the
city.

SURVEYORS roR COOP ROADS.

Government engineers are surveying
for hard roads in Okaloosa county.
The baby county" OF Florida has
some of the best permanent roadways
lin the state already, and bids fair to
become the banner county in West
Florida for road construction. The
following from the current issue OF the
Okaioosa News-Journal tells it's own
story of development:
Important road surveys are being
make in Okaloosa county this week
Tuesday morning a representative OF
the Forest Reserve at Washington and
one from the road department at
Montgomery arrived in Crestview. and
in company with G. B. Anchors of the
Forest Reserve left for Valparaiso.
They will survey the road from yalpa-
raiso east to the Walton county line
the Rocky Bayou road--a distance OF
six or seven miles.
When that is completed they will
survey a road from some point on
the hard road near Melville to the
Walton county line, connecting with
the Messy Head road.
1.-THE surveysors will make a care
full estimate of the cost of both these
roads. The Forest Reserve will go
$3.50 in the construction of the roads.
THE milege of both roads win be
about sixteen. and If the county will
go half, the government Forest Reserve
is ready to go the other half.
The sending of these surveyors to
mark out the routes and estimate the
cost OF the work is evidence Of the
willingness Of the Forest Reserve to
nroceed with the work
The report will be submitted to the
Board OF County Commissioners, and
when the time comes for the commits
sioners to make up their budget, they
will know what they can do.
The road to connect with the Messy
Head road Is the one which Mr.. Har-
beson said he would give $1,000 to-
ward building. Mr.. Harbeson will APP
pear before the board before long and
tell what he will do to assist in build
ing the road.
1t is said that another prominent
citizen of DeFuniak will give 1000
toward building the road"
