Rhodes said that he had no personal
knowledge of Bow the estimate or tne
eost of service tendered associated com
paaies under the license agreement t
made up. He (only knew that, in the
annual financial statement of the Amer
ican company the total ts estimated at
from $14.704,000 1 to $19,000,000, according
to tne cnaracxer oi instruments umo.
Ho did not know how the cost was seg
regated. So far as the Western Electric
company is concerned, he. said that the
American company pays the western
Electric for - Its laboratory sftrvico on
transmitters,' irtceivefs and Induction
coils. . In his department, research and

TAKBS OUT BEST '
"No, but we have taken the best from
verywhere," Rhodes replied. Speaking
of the relations between the western
Electric company and the associated
sompanies. it was the understanding of
the witness that the Western Electric
charges for material furnished a price
which embraces the cost of labor and
material with an addition of 8 Per cent.
There was no reason, he said, why in
dependent companies could not make
telephone cables if they were Qualified
to do so. as there la no monopoly of
the business.
80 far as he knew, however, the West
ern .Electric was the only company man
ufacturing 900 pair and 1200 pair cables.

dispute In this citya water shortage
came to a risis last night when more
than three score of the city's largest
property holders passed a resolution de
manding that, the city council cut off
the water supply of commercial orchards
now using city water.
The resolution, which provided ror a
committee of five, contained the pro
vision that if the request of the eltisens
IS not granted Immediately that an in
junction suit be brought against the city
to prevent the use or the water oy tne
orchardiats.
URGED HEW BE8EKYOXR
During the maM meeting, which was
organised by residents - who have re-
oeatedbr voiced indignation at the
scarcity of water here, several speaker
denounced conditions , which they da-
dated endangered the lives and prop
erty of Medford residents.
Delrov Oetchel. president of the Farm
era Fruit Growers bank, one of the
speakers, urged the construction of
new reservoir, the purchase of a pump
ing fire engine and the laying .01 addi
tional pipe lines to lessen the fire has

W. K. Fhipps. attorney, editor and
newspaper publisher, denounced the city
council as having illegally permitted the
orchards to use water for irrigation.
while residents of the city suffered, de
stroyed lawns, lack of bathing facilities
and faced the menace of having their
hones destroyed by fir because of in
adequate pressure.
nUUXCTIOX THREATENED
Phlpps Introduced the resolution call
ing on the council for action and con
taming the threat of an Injunction
should the council fan to act. The res
olution was passed with but three dis
senting -votes, the crowd registering a
