For sev- eral hours after 6 o'clock in the | = . evening, when the reduced night ‘gate went into effect, the telephone company had more business than it Could handle. Its purpose in giving lower rates at-night to encourage | hight messages was accomplished. ir Therefore it doubles the rates. ~The profits last year from long-distance business of the:New Eng- and Telephone Company alone were $2,885,138—this after all: expenses tof, operation were deducted from the gross receipts. The New England Telephone Company is only one branch of the great telephone monopoly “wwhich extends over the whole United States.

Instead of giving this to the lowest bidder, a responsible firm which had deposited a $250,000 cash forfeit, the contract was awarded to a $2,354,000 higher bidder. No business man would do this with hls own money. If Water Commissioner Simmons dit this with the mioney of the Fourth National Bank, of which he is President, its stockholders would speedily elect a New president and sue him for the loss which ke had caused them. If either of his associate Commissioners should attempt to parallel this trans- action in their own business matters they would find their partners going Why squarder the people's money? A third thing which should be done differently is the adjustment of salary by the Board of Education. Instead of raising the salaries of the SWorst-paid women teachers and doing all-that the city-financeswill -per= ‘mit to remedy the glaring defects in primary instruction in the public Schools, the Commissioners are raising the s es of the auditors, clerks, assistants and other high-paid offi- -————— ‘dials, who through successive pre- vious increases were already draw- ‘ig more.money from the city for nine months’ work than they could eam at outside employment for twelve, and who, in addition, do ot give the city all their time and thought. “The poorly paid teachers should be provided for first.
