"If wo had a brass band now," Seaman

Ho spoke tho truth. A brass band would

But a whistle Is a whlBtle, nnd even

It has not enough volume to cngago atten

The following extract is from a decision rendered by the New
York Court of Appeals, the highest tribunal of the chief State of
the Union. The opinion was written by Judge Willard Eartlelt,
who is now Chief Judge of the Court. It was concurred in by all
the other judges who participated in the hearing.
"Thero is no stronger inducement to the managers of a public
service corporation to serve the public well than a healthy
apprehension that a rival concern will do bo. It is sometimes
argued that the presence of tw .elephone sy.ntems in a given dis
trict is a disadvantage to the community, which is best served
by ono system reaching all subscribers; but ono system will
never be made to reach all subscribers as cheaply us would other
wise bo the case if the possibility of competition is destroyed."
The high-class Keystone unlimited telephone business service costs
only $90.00 per year, and you "can use it as often as you like with
out extra charge.
