New Telephone
Line to L. A.
Now In Use
Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph Company Finishes
Ten-Wire System from Las
Vegas to San Bernardino

Long distance phone messages
were sent between Las Vegas and
Los Angeles for the first time at 2

with the regular Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company line to Los
Angeles.

Bernardino was the last TO be built,
having been completed last week.
Leased wires owned by the Union
Pacific railway have been used
heretofore by the company for long
distance communication. messages
being SuperimpoSed on these wires
in such manner that four telephone
conversations and one telegrapA
message transmission could be going
On at one time.
Whereas there was but one pair of
wires available before. there are now
five pairs, which, according to j. r.
Harding, local wire chief for the
company. makes possible eight cir
cults instead of three, in addition to
a telegraphic circuit to San Bernar-
dino.

Says Utilities Back Bill
Hank Abney Of Sherman charged
the public utilities companies and
not the cities or people Of Texas
were back OF the move for q state
commission 70 regulate public util-
tiles.
He said he was opposed to the
interference Of state boards in local
matters and criticized the operation
Of the railroad commission in hand
ling gas rate controversies.
The governor outlined his views
on the matter near the end of the
hearing. He asserted there has
been no need for a utility commits
sion until utilities became monopo-
listic in this state.
"Home rule was al right : long
time ago when We had > little phone
company or a local electric light
concern, but now one line serves so
or so towns" the governor said.
Cities Want First Say
Tie said that neither patrons IF
utility companies nor cities had any
way or finding out whether or not
the rate they charged for telephone
telegraph, electric and gas service
was Just.
Mayor Joseph r. Nichols Of
Greenville interrupted him to agree
that state regulation Of inter-city
service was acceptable and TO suggest
that cities he allowed TO make their
own deals within their boundaries
with the commission to act as an
appellate body IN case no agreement
could be reached.
r. T.. Rouer took a like stand con-
corning rste-fixing within the cities
but admitted that I'VE need some
relief"
City Attorney Jim Collins OF Dali
las told the legislators they should
arrive at some method Of determin-
ing the value of the public utilities
before attempting 10 form a price
fixing commission.
Meet Again Tuesday
Joe Ryan, city attorney Of San
Antonio, made the final suggestions
to the senate committee. He assert
cd that the utilities corporations
should 0 be permitted 10 choose
the venue Of hearings or court trials.
The several talks lasted until near
midnight at which time none Of the
public utilities representatives had
been heard. The committee decided
20 meet again next Tuesday to hear
further discussion.
The term public utilities IN the
original bill would include light, tel
