mission Rules.
fTrIbune's Helena Sureau,)

Helena. Aug. 5.-Through a mod1fl-
cation of the order OF the Montana
railroad and public service commission
issued Thursday. which order is now
~hroadened to take in free service per
formed by any class Of public utility.
Great Falls and other municipalities
of the state that have been obtaining
free telephone service, may be permit
ted a continuation Of such service up
to December 81. 1922. instead of be-
ing limited to September l, 1922, as
per the original order.
BY virtue Of an order issued by the
railroad and public service commits
sion Friday. the ban on free service
is made far more sweeping and now
takes in every class Of public service
such as water, electric, gas. telephone
and telegraph.
According to members Of the public
service commission. that body on Janu-
cry 4. 1922, issued general order No.
1929. requiring every public utility in
the state to make a sworn statement
to the commission of all rates or re-
duced rates. free service or existing
contracts made for a consideration that
were at variance with the regular tariffs
on file.
Since that time the commission has
received copies Of many contracts,
most of which have been in existence
for years, and from which the commits
sion found there is considerable free
service being given, many half rates,
numerous % per cent reductions al
lowed and other concessions granted
for various reasons.
The commission holds that these
preferred services are in violation Of
section II of the public service COM
mission law. and accordingly an order
was entered, instructing all public util-
tiles, other than railroads, to discon-
tinie not later than December 81,
1922. all free, reduced or special rates
to nsum other than the federal
and state governments, and the utili-
ties are required by the terms of the
order to report to the commission not
later than January 10, 1928, their com
pliance Herewith.
The order modifies that given Thurs
day relatives to free telephone serv-
ice, for the reason that many of the
agreements whereby free or prefer
entail service was rendered had been
IN existence for a long period and the
telephone company might not be able
to straighten out the matters In the
short time allowed it.

there was a noticeable feeling Of re-

All outposts here were doubled Fri

more than two hours. as far as could

pronounced it unsatisfactory and gave
orders that the application of the
French measures should begin.
In his reply the premier notified
Germany that her "dilatory" answer
to the ultimatum had been satisfac-
tory and that France has taken
measures to protect 'her interests"
The German note asked the French
government to reserve it's decision
until the subject was discussed at the
coming London meeting, in the view
Of fact that both Belgium and Great
Britain were willing to consider the
debt question in connection with the
moratorium issue.
The French premier takes the view
that payments on pre-war debts is q
matter for German business men who
are obviously prosperous and that it
cannot be coupled with the present
state of German governmental
finances.
According to the text Of the Ger

the proposed measures in the follow
ing terms:
''Since your excellency's note OF
July 90, the financial and economic
situation in Germany has continued to

AWAIT GERMAN MOVE

Paris. Aug. 5.-Official circles SAID
that France now would await some
move by Germany.
If Belgium and Great Britain, as
has been indicated desired to forego
payments from Germany on the pri-
vate debts, this will have no effect
upon the French position, it was de
clared. France will insist upon the
payment of those claims despite any
moratorium that the London confer
ence may decide to grant, it was
added. and if Germany does not meet
the French demands, the measures
taken will become progressively more
severe.

BRIDGES ON IMPROVED ROADS
Few Structures Less Than 1s Feet Are
Now Being Constructed, Say
Engineers.

Few highway bridges with a width
of roadway less than Is feet are now
being constructed on improved roads
according to engineers of the bureau
of public roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. In the
past some IL feet and good many Of
16-foot width have been constructed
in an effort to economize, but 1t has
proved shortsighted economy. Only
pne dine of traffic can pass over a II,
foot roadway, and 16 feet of width
will not accommodate two lines in
safety. Many of the states, such az
Pennsylvania. New Jersey. Ohio and
Massachusetts, have found 1t advisable
in replacing old bridges on important
roads to make them wide enough to
accommodate three and four lines OF
traffic.
