cent of bad eggs will be regarded as

dle eggs Intended for Interstate com
merce. Under the federal food and
drugs act, eggs, in common with oth
er articles of food, are adulterated if
they consist wholly or in part of a
filthy, decomposed or putrid sub
stance. In the opinion of the department,
eggs are adulterated which contain
yolks stuck to the shell, black spots,
black rots, or mixed rots. Moldy
eggs, addled eggs, or any other eggs
which consist wholly or in part of a
filthy, decomposed, or putrid sub
stance come under the same classification.

The Basis of Rates
The last few years have been perilous ones for public utili
ties. The cost of equipment and of labor have been constantly
increasing, while there have been few increases in rates.
We do not believe that any public utility can furnish, nor
the public obtain, permanent and efficient service without a fair
profit.
The public is our only source of revenue and any increased
taxes, material or labor costs must always be met by the tele
phone users either directly or indirectly.
We have always endeavored to adjust our telephone rates
to make it possible for everyone to be connected who would add
to the value of the service, thus giving the greatest good to the
greatest number.
We believe that the public is best served by our charging
rates that will afford us enough money to maintain and operate
our system properly, furnish a sufficient surplus fund with
which to rebuild or restore parts of the plant when worn out,
and earn a fair rate of interest for the men and women who
have their savings invested in our property.
