HELLO PHONE TRUST
(FrOm the Tribune.)


Appointment of a new set of public
utilities commissioners after Cover
nor-elect Small is inaugurated is to
be followed by demand from the
city that the entire Chicago property
of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company
be inventoried at once
The city plans to adopt a new tack
in its fight on the most recent set of
telephone rates approved by the pres
ent commission. No appeal to the
Sangamon county court is planned for
the present, but a petition for re-
hearing of the entire case and an or
der for the inventory will be filed as
soon as the new commission gets on
the job.
Consolidation of the Chicago Tele-
phone Company with the Central
Union or downstate company, an
nOunced Jan. 1, may endanger the in
dividuality of the $1S,000,000 deprecia-
ton reserve fund built up by Chicago
nickels, according to attorneys for the
city. An inventory would prevent the
affairs of the old Chicago company and
the dOwn-state concern from becoming
muddled, to the detriment of Chicago
phone users in the merging of the
two concerns, the attorneys say.
Attorneys Chester E. Cleveland and
Daniel A. Roberts and w. H. Crumb
the city's engineer, are already at
work on the etition for the rehearing
and inventory
In the merger of the two phone com
panies $4,000 telephones and 100000
miles of wire in Illinois are placed I'M
der the control of a single company.
B. E. Sunny, for twelve years resident
of the Chicago company, becomes
president of the new concern.
Edgar S. Bloom, for seven years
president of the Central Union, is
made vice-president and w. R. Alb
bolt, former general manager of the
Chicago company, becomes a vice
president and general manager of the
new statewide phone company.
