many in New York today thought
back to times, beyond their own ex.
perience, when communication with
Europe was by ships which took
weeks to bring their burdens across
the water; how the transatlantic
cable has struggled along in its be-
ginnings as an expensive luxury
over which less than a million
words a year were transmitted.

The service is available to all tele.
phone subscribers in either calling

versations. They cost $1,000 an

charge of $75 for the first three min

The service inaugurated in a five
minute conversation between Clifford
and Sir Evelyn was distinguished by
the most annoying static since tests
of the apparatus began. But, despite

Protection Promised
The Citizens Gas Company entered
the gas field in Indianapolis 1905.
it took over all other gas
under a widely heralded ar
whereby the city was to
have gas for a maximum of 60 cents
a thousand cubic feet. the control
was vested in a so-called "citizens
and the public was to be
forever safeguarded from "gouging. ."
The 60-cent rate stood until short
ly after the World War, when it
was boosted to 80 cents after a
bitter struggle before the Public
Service Commission.
In 1922 the gas company sought
an increase to $1.25 a thousand cubic
feet. The commission denied the pc
tition. The company went TO Fed
eral Court and after much skirmish-
ing the rate was established at Sl.20.
Later, in 1924, it was set at $1.15.
Chicago pays 80 cents a thousand
cubic feet for artificial gas and De-
troit 70 cents.
