the petitions bear the date December

from ''hot spot" news to recollections
of other days. Mr. Chambers fouud
the original petitions while cleaning
out his office today and it brought '
back the events of more than 35 years
ago when agitation was rife for the
erection of the county buildings which
are now in use. The first name on the
petition, which is one long roll about
ten feet in length, is that of T. G.

The Cost of Service
ON the loyalty and skill of
the human clement depends
the character of telephone serv
ice. The providers of this
service must not only meet the
market prices for materials.
They must also maintain at any
cost a high standard of work
manship. '
Because of advancing prices,
the telephone dollar goes only
half as faras it did ten yearsago.
More than three-fifths of this,
dollar is necessarily expended
for wages. Less would neither
attract nor hold the high-grade
.workers essential to maintain
America's standards.
That Ikll telephone rates
have advanced much less than
other prices is largely, due to
economies in methods and ap
paratus that have been developed
and introduced. It is also because
the proportion of operating
plant built nt pre-war prices is
still large, though this is steadily
decreasing because of new con
struction made necessary by the
nation's telephone needs.
