Phone Company
Rates To Stand

The McMinnville local and long
distance telephone company must
continue to operate on its old
schedule of rates The public sery-
ice commission, in an order issued
Thursday, denied the company's
application for an increase.
From the records in this case,
it is evident that this utility has
not in the past, nor does it now,
suffer from insufficient revenues
for the class and quality of service
rendered." the commissions order
reads.
Referring to an exhibit entered
by the company in support of its
application for increased rates the
commission declares that it Shows
without question, that over a per-
iod of five years the company has
been more interested in dividends
than plant maintenance and the
record clearly indicates that
large sum of money has been
transferred to surplus which
should, in equity, have been ex-
pended for upkeep of plant. Such
a practice is not only unsound but
directly detrimental to the inter-
ests Of the patrons.

Labor Day Athletic Meet
 Offered 70 BridgepOrt

Official sanction has been given by the Executive committee of the Conn Association of the A. A. U. to hold a state championship track and field meet here on Labor Day or sooner if possible Pleasure Beach is the place designated for the meet if a quarter mile track can be built within that time. Which is doubted since it will take eight months ito finish the track at Seaside Park which was started a week ago. If the meet cannot be staged at Pleasure Beach it is likely that tt will not be staged in the Park City. The Board of Recreation is unable to finance such a project this year and New Haven has also rejected a plan for having the meet staged in the Elm City. Hartford is next con sidered if Bridgeport passes up the chance.
 All contestant will start from scratch and cups are to be given to the winners of first place. Higgins, ofsthe New Haven HaFriers, holds the title in the 100 and 20 yard dashes and it is likely that either Roy Welch or Ray Whelan of this city will give him the race of his life if he wishes tozhold the honorS.

SPEEDY IRANS
 BEAT STAMFORD

One of the best games played so far this season at Seaside park was Sunday between the Trans and the Stratford A. c. The Trans copped the bacon to the score of 10. Both pitchers twirled a wonderful game.
 The Trans scored their run in the sixth after filling the bases several times. Dutchy Kerwin, one of the old Walnut team, made the feature catch of the game, running about 5 yards and jumping high with one hand catch that would meant a home run for StratfordS.
 The Trans are out with another state wide challenge. Any good semi-pro teams they haven't played this season should step in and claim a game, especially the Fairfields, Greens Farms, Milford Wheel club, NorwaIk, Wilton or others of their class.
