ASK MORE TIME IN PHONE CASE.
Public Utilities Commission Nav Hold
Another Hearing May 23.

A motion asking for an additional
thirty days stay of execution of the
order issued by the district court,
March IS, restraining the public utili-
ties commission from interfering with
the Southwestern Bell Telephone COM
pany in making rate increases in six
Kansas towns, was filed in the district
court Wednesday. The motion prob
ably will be argued tomorrow. If the
additional time is granted, the utili-
ties commission will hold another
hearing ON the application of the
company May %.
In the order recently issued by the
district court, the Bell company was
given permission to raise the rates, but
the order was not to become effective
for thirty days, in order to give the
commission time to again pass on the
application. The towns affected are
Lyons Winfield, Eldorado, Arkansas
City, Hutchinson and Atchison.
