MURAL QUESTION INVOLVED Two Telephone Srenu Iajnrci More People Than it Can Htlp. - RESPONSIBILITY RESTING ON CITY COUNCIL Possibility of Estraillaa; Pervlr Small and Certalatr at I n rrraalfiK f nt to I tm InaroMnblr. The members nf th rlty rnunrll Anil ths rlMxns of Omaha will rnKnli some Important moral rguestlons Involved In tha acnn1 tolrphon proposition as thay be come familiar with the facta. One of thse questions Is: la It rlnht to give any company tha power to force the second telephone Into about 2.S"0 business places In Omaha and thus levy an additional expense of about H2fi,ono a year upon the business men of the city? t have shown by the presentation of facts pertaining to the experience of other cities that wherever there has been telephone competition in a city as large as 'Omaha the Rell telephones have not been dispensed with, but have Increased In number; that the Bell rates have been generally maintained, and that competition has placed many thousands of dollars of additional expense upon the business men. who are required to have both 'phones. But, It may be argued, the business men will receive an additional service com mensurate with the additional expense put upon them, for they will be placed In telephonlo connection with many residences which are now without telephone service. For the sake of argument we will grant that the independent company. If It atarts In business, will have aa many as 1,000 ex clusive residence 'phones, meaning that It will succeed In placing its 'phones In l.OflO residences which are without the Bell 'phones, although this la scarcely possible In view of the low residential rates of the Bell company here,- and If the business rate of the Independent company la to be $54, as has been intimated. It would cost the business man Just that sum per year for these 1,000 additional residence connec tions, or 6.4 cents per connection. The ex orbitance of this charge may be appre ciated by considering the fact that at present the business man with an Individ ual line 'phone in 'the Bell exchange paya $84 for a service with 5.000 residence con nections, or only 1.7 cent per connection. The additional service to be gained In Omaha from the establishment of a second telephone system will cost the telephone users a great deal more, per possible con nection, than the present service of the Bell company costs. This is Indicated clearly by the foregoing Illustration, and, further, it Is the established fact In every city where there are two companies In tha Held. If the Independent company . comes In with a residence rate of 130 per year, as has been intimated, and 1,000 residences use Its 'phone to the exclusion of the Bell 'phone the aggregate annual saving to these 1,000 householders would be $4,000, be cause 1,000 residence 'phones In the Bell exchange, at $3 each, would cost Just $8,000 more than 1,000 residence 'phonea In the In dependent exchange, at $30 each. Now, If 2,6(10 business men can be beguiled Into, put ting in tne independent phone at $64 each, they will be taking on an additional tele phone expense aggregating $126,000 per year. So, In order to save one class of users $6,000 a year, the Independent tele phone proposition means to assess $124,000 a year of additional expense against an other class of users. It is Just suoh ex perience as this that prompted Alderman John F. Domhoff of East St. Louis, 111., In a paper presented to the League of American Municipalities, to say: "In voting a franchise to any public serv ice corporation It is the duty of the city government to protect the Interests of the whole, and not merely a part, of the com munity. A city government has no right to Impose a burden upon one class of cltl- rens In order to bestow a benefit upon an other class." Alderman Domhoff showed by figures that telephone competition In East St. Louis saved one class of users $4,809 per year and cost another class $15,354 per year. And every city of any Importance which bas two telephone systems Is having the same experience in this respect. H. J. QONDEN.
