What has been found to lie true in regard to tlie milage matter is true of general phone service. Some people on a supposed two party line are really supporting an eight party line. Dr. Nelson of Lents was also instru ■ mental in getting the matter before the Commission, and he intends now to put in a claim for milage paid out illegally. Hereafter persons taking service from the Phone Company will not be unde r obli gation to pay tbe milage. Indo-d the company are now turning back some of tlie milage collected last month, unjustly collected. In this connection it might be men tioned that one of the City Commission- era was given the credit for thia decision of the Railroad Commission, by the Dailies last week. As a matter of fact Mr. Daly only came into the case in cidentally. Lents men brought the ease and won the decision.
