scented to the plan. Mr.. Hall then
stated to the commission that if all
the people in Danville wanted To-
DAY to be connected with the Dan
Vile exchange the transfer could
be made, but if they all wanted
to join the st. Johnsbury ex-
change it could not be efficiently
arranged. The St. Johnsbury rates
would be too high for many of the
patrons, if would eliminate the
Danville exchange and load down
the wires between St. Johnsbury
and Danville.
At the close Of the testimony
Lawyer Grant moved that the petit
ton be dismissed on the ground
that the burden was on the plain
tiff to establish all the material al
legations in their complaint, and
that the petitioners had failed to
meet that burden. The commits.
sion held that the burden was on
the operating company to show
atfirmatively that its charges were
fair, reasonable and not discrimin-
atory, so the motion was denied
ana both sides were allowed three
weeks to file briefs with the COM
mission after which they will rem
der their decision.

rates were now in force with 8
uniform toll rate computed on ar
air line basis. He said free toll
service was now practically elimln-
ated by the New England Com
pany. He then submitted an an
alysls of the free toll calls in the
three counties. Of the LEIPZIG
Gals in a year, GIG subscribers d
only Is per cent, made 80 per cent
of all the calls; 324 subscribers or
5.3 per cent made 25 per cent of
the calls, while five of the largest
users of the telephone made 14,829
calls during the year. Mr.. Hager-
man sand lne service rendered was
for the benefit OF the few at the
expense Of the many and that free
! toll service was not universally
used, ''far from it,, he declared.
He then gave some statistics as To
the number of calls and the pat
ron in each case, showing that out
! of the 1886 subscribers there were
1477, or II per cent, who had no
free toll calls; 1854 or 51.3 per
cent, used five calls or less, AMI
only PIT per cent exceeded the al
lotment of five free calls. Con-
tinuing in the analysis of the
present revenue from the toll calls
he said it represented an average
increase to each subscriber of 1911
cents per month on his telephone
cost. He declared that free ser
vice congests the toll lines to the
detriment of the toll service and
said that it had been practically
eliminated by the company. Mr..
Warner of the commission then
questioned him as to where there
was still free toll service and he
said that around Brandon and
Middlebury on the Champlain Tel
epnone Co., between Rutland and
West Rutland and one or two
places in Massachusetts were the
only communities where there
was such service. He said free
service was giving something for
nothing, the idea being to stand
ardiZe the service.
Lawyer Porter said he didn't
consider that the patrons Of the
telephone company were getting
something for nothing after they
had paid for their phones and said
the idea of standardiZing the SER
vice was to fix it so the company
could increase their revenue. He
said it was an unjust arrange
ment to make a Danville man pay
toll for talking with his neighbOr
just because they were in different
exchanges. al
William E. Barton, the eX-
change rate engineer, said that the
only source of revenues were
from the exchange service and
from the toll service and explain
ed by a long answer to Lawyer
Grants question how the rates

The errors, committed by both

case of many so called "fappers"
But this ridicule has tendency to
correct faults in conduct and it
that their young people need closer
oversight.
Meanwhile the girls who dislike
being referred to in this undigni-
fed manner, can at least band
themselves together in favor of re-
finement and good breeding. The
girls who go in the extremes of
"lapperism" would find tina they

LOCAL TRUCKERS
TO MEET FEB. A
TO DISPOSE OF MATTER OF
BUILDING POTATO DRY
ING HOUSE

At meeting of the Board OF
Directors of the Washington Truck
Growers Asso. last Saturday, pre-
sided over by J. P. Baker, president
il was decided to call general
meeting of the membership and all
others interested for Saturday, Feb
A at l o'clock, at which it is hoped
that arrangements for erecting
large potato drying house here will
be perfected. Other important mat
ters will also be before the orgam-
cation and a full attendance Is re-
quested.
If the potato drying house is built
at this time it will be necessary tina;
some of the stock be taken by bust,
ness concerns and others who are
not growers, 1t should prove a most
profitable investment, however, and
be of inestimable value to the town.
