MR. DALY OBJECTS TO PLAN Company Willing to Restore $1.50 Service, Allowing 30 Calls Each Month In Lieu of Ten-Party Lines Abolished Recently. Sudden appearance of the State Rail road Commission In the plans being; worked out by the city and the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company to es tablish a "measured" telephone service at a rate of $1.60 a month to take the place of the 10-party service discarded by the company, caused the City Com mission yesteraay to suspend until the wishes of the Railroad Com mission are ascertained. The telephone company recently ui- fered to establish a service giving a patron 35 calls a month for 1.75. and o .Tin fnr ea.ch call over the 85. The City Commission came back with a proposal to have the company grant SO calls a montn at a ri . -month with 3 cents for each call over the 30. The company took this under consideration and yesterday agreed to It on condition that the rate would be agreeable to the Railroad Commission, mlssioner Daly objected to the Railroad Commission having any part in ih. nronosltion. asserting that the company Is obliged by Its franchise to give a rate or i.ou . mu... -party service. He contended that the T3n. rnmmilnn claims no Juris diction over rates fixed by franchise. and. therefore, has no pan m i ent telephone case. C H. Carey, representing the com pany, said he considered it necessary under the law for the Railroad Com mission to consider the rate, no matter how fixed. Commissioner Daly held that it was up to the company to ar range for the rate witn tne xvo.ii.ua.- Commission.-' The Commission, at Mr. Daly's re quest, laid the proposition on the table for two weeKs m e,. time to settle affairs with the Railroad Commission. It is proposea to no.u company to the reaucea . " vlded In the franchise. If arrange ments cannot be made for the meas ured service the Commission will de mand that the company re-establish its 10-party service at a rate of 1.60 a mIn the company's franchise there is a provision for a 10-party service. The company. It Is contended, abolished this service without permission from the city The city Is now contending that the company re-establish the service or some other service equally as good at the same cost to patrons.
