ton authorizing the State treasurer

Representative Clendaniel intro
duced a bill 10 increase from Si5 TO
$50 or more a year the amount that

lines extended by an arrangement with
the Diamond state Company TO remote

Diamond State Company has been
charging these Independent companies
50 a year for each subscriber. The
companies keep up the line and are
limited TO Si5 a year that they can
charge the subscribers. The Diamond
state Company recently increased its
yearly charges TO $780, and Nr.
Clendaniel explains that unless the
Independent companies can increase
their rate. which they are prohibited
from doing now under the law, they
can not keen I'D the lines.
