C, Oct. 25. The passing , of the fire horses from Man hattan island and the installation of a high pressure water system ; in Bos ton to eliminate even the fire engine, are further steps in the stage of prog ress from the romantic days of the pic turesque old hand-tubs, says a 'bulle tin from the "Washington, D. C, head quarters of the National Geographic society ' "Some remember when citizens tricked themselves out in red shirts and glazed caps and carried torches in the front of a procession or fermed part of the bodyguard of the gallant old tub as it paraded the streets on a gala-occasion. Then passion for fiTe fighting ran to a high pitch and argu ments were waged about the merits of particular engines. Today the throbs of a motor-driven engine are taking the place of those heart throbs. The horses that might have clattered from thli .itn.lia. orlided beneath their har ness, and raced gloriously through the drizzly, night-darkened streets before the fire-spitting demon are drawing farm wagons or plowing the fields. "In those days communitfes were de pendent upon volunteers, and men from all social ranks gave valuable time to qualify themselves for the service. "Fire fighting in some sort of organ ized form is ' ancient. Machines for throwing water from a distance were known, according to our first clear evi dence,, in the second century before Christ. Heron of Alexandria, two hun dred years before the Christian era, in an old manuscript which has es caped destruction, described an hy draulic machine used in Egypt during the time of the Ptolemeies. It- was composed of two brass cylinders rest ing on a wooden base with pistons fit ted into them in its principles prac tically like our present engine. Like most other knowledge, this was lost in the dark ages which followed. ' "The Romans had squads of men to carry water in 'Hamae,' or light vases, to the scene of an outbreak where it wna nrnieeted onto the fire by those In charge of the 'siphones' or hand pumps. The precise nature oi tnis in strument has not been determined, but from - specimens found in excavations It must have been much like the old- fashioned syringe used by gardeners. These large organizations of men gave the Roman authorities trouble by their turbulence. Trajan, the Roman em peror, and Pliny, at that time one of his governors, had long and serious cor- rssnnndinii nvfp the fl.?visabilitv O f organizing fire departments in the cit ies under Pliny's jurisdiction, leading to the conclusion that such groups would attain sufficient strength to be a menace to the government.

"Boston had the first regular fire company under municipal control in this country in 1678.

Mr New Orleans, La. Dear Sir: Tour letter of October 12 asks a very natural Question, and one which demands a full and frank reply, which I am glad to make. While the prices of a great many things have apparently been re duced, these reductions in prices do not apply to artioles used by the telephone company, or affect the expenditures necessary in the con struction, maintenance and oper ation of the telephone plant. The following classes of expenses constitute more than 95 per cent of the cost of furnishing telephone service: Iialr More than 56 per oent of- the to tal expenditures of the company in rendering service are for wages and salaries; less than one-tenth of 1 per cent of this being for executive and general salaries. The wages paid to our employes cannot, and should not, be reduced. On the contrary they must be in creased, in many cases, to bring our Vwage scale on a level with wages 6 paid by unregulated businesses, so that we may retain our skilled em ployes necessary to give you effi cient service. Material and Apparatus Many items of material and ap paratus are Involved in the current maintenance of the property, en tirely apart from the enormous quantities involved in the construc tion of new property, and this rep resents a large Item of expense. There has been no reduction, nor any Indication of reduction, in the price of these essential articles, In practically all of which the labor,' freight and hauling cost is by far the largest proportion of the total cost. We know that the manufacturers of telephone equipment and mate rial have orders booked for two years, In advance, with a constantly increasing demand, and which in turn makes a reduction in price in the near future most Improbable. ) Freight aad Pasicnxer Casts Our annual expense for the transportation of freight and pas sengers is more than one million dollars. . No one expects ' the rail roads to reduce their charges un der the level of costs in rendering their service. . Rent Exoept in the larger centers our central offices and stocks of mate rial are housed In rented buildings. and even in the larger centers we I rent varying amounts of properties. j-iiKe everyone eise, our rents have been greatly Increased, with no prospect of any reduction. Even In 'pre-war days all leases for prop erty occupied by us were renewed only at higher charges than for tas previous rental period, HOteJs The board and lodging bill for our man, who must travel ,in con nection with the operation and maintenance of the property, costs many thousands of dollars every year, and we can see no prospect of Genuine Gas Coke A limited amount of coke for sale at 32 l-2c per bushel in ten or more bushel lots or 40c per bushel in single bushels. (A bushel of coke weighg approximately 40 pounds). Also a small amount of anthracite furnace coal at $16.00 per ton. , Tidewater Power Company . Gas Works, Foot of Castle Street Li R.

STAR BUSINESS LOCALS GET RESULTS "V v GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST AND THE REPLY ,'New Orleans, La., October 12, 1920. Mr. J. Epps Brown, President, ( Bell Telephone Company, t Atlanta, Ga. ' ; Dear Sir: ' I have read the advertisements of your company, but I do not understand why you must raise your rates now, when the prices of everything else are falling. Will you please explain this? Yours truly, the hotels lowering their charges. Until they do we must pay the present high charges. Electric Power and Light Street Car Fnue We spend many thousands of dol lars t every year for these services rendered to employes engaged in the maintenance of the property. In the majority of cases the rates charged by these companies have been substantially .increased, and ; there is no thought of any reduc- ' tion. The Telephone Company, like "hers, must pay these increased rates. Paper, Friating; and Stationery We consume tons of paper for bookkeeping,, correspondence and directory purposes, and pay many thousands of dollars for printing annually. This Item of expense has . increased In percentage more than the others, and no one has sug gested that any reduction in these costs is probable. Coal B1U The Telephone Company pur chases coal in large quantities to heat the buildings occupied by its employes in rendering the service. We, of course, must Pay 'what ever price is necessary to secure the' coal for this purpose. Insurance i Even where the actual rate per one thousand dollars has . not been increased, we are compelled to carry a larger amount of insur . ance than in pre-war days in order to protect ourselves in the repro duction of any of the property whioh may be destroyed bv fire, and this is reflected in a very large increase in the total insurance bill. Taxes This expense, both federal, state, county and city, has increased every year we have been in business; the Inorease this year being unusually high. There is no probability of tbis expense being reduced. We do not pay any excess profit tax because we have never earned enough to be subject to that tax. Buildings It is common knowledge that the ooat of erecting any kind of build ing now, as well as making altera tions and repairs, which constantly confront the Telephone Company and which Involve material, labor, freight and hauling, Is on an enor mously higher plane than ever be fore. In so far as the cost of ma terials may be reduced will this to tal cost be reduced. T"he only wav we ' can furnish adequate facilities for ' your use . from year to year Is by construct ing the buildings in which to house the central office apparatus in the larger centers ; as well as enlarging existing buildings to serve the- In creased needs, and this work must be carried on from year to year . without delay. This involves hun dreds of thousands of dollars in expense to the oompany. There are. of course, many other Items of expense, all of which are now at the highest level in prices, ' and none of which show any sign of reduction for fundamental rea sons. . Until these neoessary costs of operation are materially reduced we not your DrulBt? He's your laatv . cheok - to the mouth ; v. "DEPENDABLE DRUG STORE." 117 JT. JHrnt St. v Phones 81-1 82. cannot reduce the COSTS of fur nishing telephone service. We have carefully studied and analyzed the advertised reduction in prioes and find that they ar upon articles of which we make but little, if any, use. Applied te the telephone business all known reduction in prices would not re duce the cost of furnlshine tele phone service one-twentieth of l per cent. This is many times offset by the increase in wages, which, in many places, we must make during the current year. Our present .operating' revenues are practically equalled by our op erating expenses. If the present let down in general business con tinues for any appreciable time we will lose a material part of the gross revenue now received, which will make a still higher rate neces sary if a deficit is avoided. We are not asking higher rates for the SAME SERVICE we fur nished one, two or five years ago; but for a much GREATER SERV ICE which we now furnish, con sisting of facilities to add many additional telephones to our system during the past one, two and five years. This fact should be considered when comparing the increase In rates we ask with the increase in the charges of railroad, express and other public utilities for the same quantity of service. We hope, as every one does, that in the relatively near future prices and the costs of Operation, except labor, will be lower, but we see no immediate prospects of this result as far as the Telephone Company is concerned. The increased rates we are now asking are based, in a measure, upon this hope. If the present level of costs of operation go higher, through causes beyond our control, the proposed rates will not yield a fair profit. " It is important to remember that no rate for a public utility is per manent. If conditions and prices so change in the future as to make the rates we are now asking yield too high a return, and if the Tele phone Company should not reduce the rates vbluntarily. the Public Service Commission would. Conditions as they are must be met, not as they may or should be. The highest and best interest of the public is conserved in having the Telephone Company in position to supply facilities adequate to the demand for telephones and service, and in this way be prepared to ren der at all times an adequate serv ice. No community can expand ana grow without adequate telephone service, which in turn means ade quate plant facilities. With adequate returns upon tna bare cost of the physical property already in service the company s credit has disappeared. With no credit the company can not secure the millions of dollars required to provide the additions and extensions to its plant, which must be provided if the pub lc de mand for telephones Is supplied.
