Telephone company.
Fullerton's declaration came as

Major Babcock OF Seattle, Port
land telephone expert In the re-
hearing, whose main hobby in life
is the harmonic system.
Fullerton admitted that IN the
course Of his 50 years experience
as a telephone man he had once
installed the harmonic system in
Sacramento and had nearly lost
his Job because he would not
make It work. The only reason
be did not lose his Job over this
move, he explained. was because
no one else could be found who
could make the system work.
The whole system. he added, had
later been relegated to a one-horse
museum which had later been de-
stroyed by fire.

the city OF Portland, had contend
