Editor News-Times:
Ny interest has been aroused by
your discussions Of a request for a
raise of rates by the telephone com
pany. I for one want to see justice
done 10 so vital a factor of our
social and economic life as the tele-
phone.
My business and relation TO this
community are such that a telephone
is almost indispensable, or it would
seem so in view of the way business
is conducted My company just
transferred me from Chicago TO
South Bend about six weeks ago.
One of the first things 1 did here
was to secure an apartment and
make sure of living quarters. The
apartment which I rented has a tel
ephone installed, and had when I
rented the apartment.
1 called upon the telephone COM
pany Immediately after renting my
apartment and told them my iden-
tity and business, asking that they
rent me the phone that was installed
in the apartment which 1 had rented.
| After a check had been made 1
was informed that 1t would be at
| least 80 days before anything could
be done FOR me. 1 was told the best
they could do for me was TO put me
on the waiting list, 10 which I finally
agreed. They made out an applica-
ton card, asking me TO sign and
| pay 1915 in advance for the privi-
lege of waiting for the service 1 so
badly needed. 1t was a, this point
that 1 rebelled, for the transaction
began TO smack Of something else
than a legitimate deal.

were too much for me 10 part with,
