PHONE HEAAING TODAY
New Valuations on Their Properties
are Sought
limited Press Dispatch1

ST. Paul, May 18.-Telephone COM
panies gong before the state rail
road and warehouse commission for
new valuation on their properties
will attempt to show that there has
been no material defation in their
business, it was said today.
Telephone properties have in
creased in value and everything in
the line of equipment costs as much
or more than ever in history, tele-
phone company officials are said to
contend. The companies will try to
prove their costs are higher than in
previous years, in their efforts to
secure recognition Of higher rates for
service aready inaugurated under a
court injunction.
Every effort will be made by the
Tri State and Northwestern COM
panies in federal court and before
the state commission, to avoid the
contingency of having to refund to
subscribers the difference between
rates authorized by the state COM
mission and the rates now being
charged under a federal court order.
While the farmer, merchant, bank
er and practically all service cor
porations have suffered losses during
the past few months of business de-
fiation the telephone companies, it is
said, have prospered.

In order to alleviate the housing
situation in Mankato and incidentally
to provide more employment in the

Commerce association, determined at
their regular weekly meeting, held at
the association offices yesterday aft
ernoon, to appoint new committee
to see that immediate action is taken
on this important subject. The asso-
citation had committee on housing
last year, but after having investi-
gated matters, this committee con-
cluded that conditions were not ripe
for the Inauguration of a building
campaign; this old committee auto
matically expired at the close Of the
fiscal year, April 80.
1t was pointed out that conditions
are now favorable for building, and as
the need for houses in Mankato is
acute, efforts are TO be made to push
the project as much as possible.

meat distribution liant recently
transferred to South st. Paul. This
committee will go into the matter
thoroughly, and furnish necessary
data for Armour & Co.
The industrial committee has two
definite propositions under consldera:
ton, which they expect to settle
within the next week or two. II sue
cessful in these. Mankato will have
two more new industries operating
here in the near future.
The Sales Pavilion.
A new committee is also TO be ap-
pointed for the purpose OF financing
the live stock sales pavilion. The de-
sire is to have this completed and
paid for by the time that the Mankato
Fair opens the coming fall. The
directors are determined to see this
important matter through.
The joint committee that is serving
the Mankato Automobile club and the
Civic and Commerce association is to

camp ground is TO be opened just as

car tracks. and this subject is to be
docketed for further consideration at
the next meeting of the board, that is
10 he held next Monday afternoon.
