Douglas, 207 East Eloventh Htreet. r4-3 It Costs 1mm 1km In a calls there are from onnh t.Almi mm to Furnish Serace m a Large that telephone and the more wear there is on tho Also the equipment per telephone is more expensive in larger places. For oxamplo, in a town of 10,000 people the more intri cate and complicated switchboard that has to be used costs near ly flvo times as much per subscriber connected as in a town of 1,000 people. Subscribers in the town of 10,000 people live on an average three times as far from tho central office as in the smaller place Also subscribers move more in large centers, and these moves cost money. A more exacting grado of service is required in larger places which increases the operating costs. Again wages, taxes and rents aro higher as a town grows larger. Then, too, in larger places we aro generally asked to place our wires underground in cables, which is.vory expensive. Theso are somo of- tho reasons why telephone rates cannot do as' low In largo towns as in small ones. CITY AND COUNTY NEWS. Attorney J. J.
