The service coma bo unsatisfactory that a pcopln are showing a disposition to welcomo with open arms any com pany that promises to givo relief. The Commoroial Club havo taken tho matter in hand and will see what can bo dono oither with another company or with an Indo pendont system. It is truo that tho company had men work tng on tho bystom for somo time last summer doing some repair work, but owing to tho enormous growth and increase of population the accommodations do not seem to havo improved and it is now a demnnd of tho publiu that bettor accommodations bo furnished tho subscribers or relief bo given by another company. Tho rates that are charged arq simply ridiculous for tho bind of service that is ro coived. On ono party lino which is but three blocks long thero aro now ton phones and many other lines are nearly as bad if not worfo. The Pacific States peoplo have no franobiso in Springfield and now while we have them at our mercy, let us eo what can bo done. A much lower rate should bo obtained, in fact, tne present rate cut in too would bo a big compensation for the service wo aro receiving. The Commercial Club should bo hcarti ly commended for tho effort that is boing put forth for tho iraprovo rnent of the prcsont service. It is hoped that their efforts will meet with good results.
