HMHH ioc HIM BELL TELEPHONE | GIVES BIG FACTS Rate Theory of the Great System j Presented at the Public Service Commission INTERCHANGES NOW MADE j Interesting Statement Regarding the Business Made by One of Executives I The Bc-ll Telephone company yester day put before the Public Service com j mission its ideas on the rate question land, incidentally, gave the interesting i information that it was about to put j into effect the agreement made with j the United States government to allow J independent companies to interchange j messages. The hearing was one of the most interesting in a long time and I the whole theory of the Bell system | was presented in extended testimony. •' T. P. Sylvan, assistant to the presi- ! dent of The Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania and the Central Dis trict Telephone Company, was the principal witness. Mr. Sylvan testi fied on what is known as the "State wide" theory in the question of rate making. The Bell Company contends i that there are undoubtedly places in the state which are not self-sustaining, but by reason of the importance of these towns to other towns, it is neces- j sary to continue the operation of tele phono service even though it may be at a loss. It was brought out that the Bell Company management takes the position that it is impossible to ascer- j tain by any known method of book keeping just what are the profits in! any one exchange in the State. The ] reafton for this is that the toll and ex- i change service are so closely Inter related that it is impossible to sepa- 1 rate the costs of furnishing the ser vice. Mr. Sylvan gave as an illus tration that if the Public Service Com- I . mission required the exact cost of op- ' erating a certain exchange, it would be necessary to keep most elaborate records showing just how much time the various employes of that exchange devoted to local work and how mucK i to toll work. It would also be neces-' jsary to pro-rate against that exchange! i part of the salaries and expenses of all I the various supervising officials, to-1 PILES CUftEOirHOME BY NEW ABSORPTION METHOE If yon Buffer from bleeding, itching, blind or protruding Piles, send me your address, and I will tell you how to eure yourself at home by the new absorption treatment; and will also send some of this hom® treatment free for trial, with references from your own locality if requested.

Air. Sylvan described at length the j agreements which the Bell Company j have with independent companies pro- I viding tor connections with the Bell j system. He said that ten years ago here were six different Bell companies j m Pennsylvania and now there are but ■two, and for all practical purposes jthey may be considered as one by rea son of the fact that they are under the i tame management. He pointed out i the advantages of this arrangement in ; economy, one policy, and with develop ! P lent along the same line. He gave as instances several cases where, under the old arrangement, the rate was 25 j cents between two towns not a great I distance apart, because it was neces , sar.v to go a roundabout way for the I two companies to make the connec ! j,""• , Now '. with one company, lines In, been built closing the gaps and cluced 6 correspondingly re ; In.us;, sa-cju,"! of the Rpn t ' u \ number of stations nLs m Independent conipa hlm Syl , van testified that the Bell stations in Pennsylvania now number 412,000 and as nearly as can H«nt SCOr i ned ' the '"dependent sta !!? na ""mbcr 268,000, showing that not the mon °poly that it -vr some people. Mr. Sylvan then traced the devel rtfl h H e tclei,h ' ,,le business from the time when it was necessarv for subscribers to go out of their places of business to long distance telephones to talk not a great distance, until now it is possible to talk from any Bell sta ofoVe°wnyi. ot A? r BpU statlon this side of the Rocky Mountains. table w as introduced by Mr. Svl n?n to illustrate how the toll usa'ge subscribers varies from month to :E^ h ! exchanges were | selected and in the following table is shown the percentage of toll-using 19lTand r f, rT h the ,no,lUl of Januar^ ; lJio, and for the year 1913; Exchange Jan. 1913 - .

This de cision, which establishes certain prin ciples. was given in the complaint filed with the commission by the Somerset Telephone Company, in which it was alleged that the Economy company charged its patrons who held stock $2 less per annum for service than it did subscribers who are not stock holders. The respondent attempted to iustifv its action on the ground that it builds new lines and furnishes service in new territory only after a subscriber takes stock, and. therefore, such a conces sion is found to be a necesary induce ment in order that the business of the [ company may be further developed and extended. Tn other words, the contention was that the stockholding subscriber really builds the line, be cause he furnishes money to pay for the labor and material of erecting it, and, consequently, because of the larger risk taken by him he should receive some consideration in the rates he is charged. This argument, the commission be lieves, applies to any stock telephone company and could be urged with equal propriety as a sufficient reason for making a difference in the rates which any stock company charges its patrons. In all incorporated telephone ■companies stock must be subscribed before a line can be built or before there can be any development of the plant equipment, and whether the money comes from a subscriber who expects to use the service or from an outsider does not change the status of the company as a public service com pany, required by law to furnish serv ice at rates which shall not be unrea sonable, discriminatory or make any difference in the scope of its powers under the law. The commission holds that it is in tended that the law shall apply in the matter of rates for service rendered to stockholders and nonstockholders with out distinction, and, therefore, to grant a lower rate to subscribers hold ing stock than is granted to persons not holding stock must be regarded as a discrimination. Moreover, the effect of granting special rates to stockhold ing subscribers would lead to all kinds of abuse in the matter of profits and dividends stockholders might receive. , The policy of furnishing free service at hotels and railroad stations is con sidered a discrimination as against other patrons and a violation of thcu public service company law.

INTEREST [Continued from First Page.] amount to thousands of dollars and I that the city heretofore has not earned a cent on the daily balances. He said he believes the district should get some return for this. His plan for distributing the general and sinking fund balances among all the city banks, he said, is to base the amount to be deposited on the proportionate capital and surplus of the institution. Mr. Kohl, the only director who dis cussed the matter, said he didn't feel that he as a director should be held responsible for school funds if the money was placed in a city bank that might eventually fail. The fact that he as a director was not bonded offered no protection, he said. Mr. Werner mentioned a section in the school code to answer that and Secre tary Hammelbaugh, without so much as looking at the book, recited the sec tion that provides that any depository institution under the circumstances shall file a surety bond. Domestic Science This Fall Following the defeat of the amend ment by a vote of 6 to 2 the vote was cast on the adoption of the report and only Messrs. Yates and Werner voted for it. Domestic science will be taught this Fall with the ingoing freshman class of girls in the Central high school. Directors Yates and Werner protested against this. Both said they believed the instruction should begin in the grammar grades first. While the special committee, of which Dr. Yates was a member, visited Reading's do mestic science room in the high school the instructor told the city directors that she considered even high school freshmen much too young to undergo instruction in home economics. The new domestic science rooms will be placed, it Is understood, in the basement of the high school. The special committee, consisting of Di rectors Boyer, Yates and Kennedy, was authorized to nsk for bids on sup plies, quarters, furnishings, etc., for the new department . The resignations of Misses Margaret Latham and Mary K. Blaikie as Cen tral high school teachers and Charles Yahn as a Technical high school in structor were accepted and Miss Edna Engle, Ruth Stewart and Russell A. Hertzler were chosen respectively at salaries of SI,OOO. S9OO and $750 to fill these vacancies. Miss Elizabeth Tittle was chosen assistant principal at the Reily and Miss Laura Fritchey was chosen a regular teacher without assignment. "Subs" Selected Substitute teachers were chosen as follows. Director Werner being ex cused by President Boyer from voting on the name of his daughter, Gay brilla Werner: Helen Keller, Meda Woods, Mary fJraber, Sarah Wood, Clara Eaton, Martha Fox, Margaret.

New books as recommended by the textbook committee were adopted and the accounts of Treasurer O. M. Cope lin for collection of 1913 taxes was approved. The exonerations totaled $924.30 and the uncollected accounts amount to $840.71. Prior to adjournment Dr. Yates re signed from the domestic science com mittee. Rev.
