, Users of, this proposed service are
t; to give the number of the telephone
aeb time an outgoing call U made so
Hhat the company . can keep track of
f the number ot-calla each month. Thla
."f rate will mean a reduction of 75 cent
,-: a month for a large numher of resi
dent telephones,, as the minimum
- charge now is J2.2S a month. j . .-.
The offer. of tbe telephone company
. . . was made this morning In writing . .' .
t , The offer .stated 'that the new rate
, was to be subject to the ruling of the
yiallroad commission but this clause
Was objected to by Commissioner Daly,
, who contended that it' was a matter
strictly within the city right uMer
. the franchise provision, and the rail.
v,toad commission had nothing' to! -do
With it;.'' . .- .. j y
. .i 'Our first duty," said Commissioner
. -Xial', "is to get better rates fori tb$
' " Klty regardless of the: "railroad com
. jmlsston. ' The commission has n a
number of Instances disclaimed Jprts
diction where provisions of franchises
'tare involved and I can see no reason
,whr jurisdiction should be extended In
Hhia case." .
