Other Capital Raleigh, April 1. That the Cor poration Commission will deny -; the application of th? Southern ferell 'Tele phone Company for a twenty-three : percent increase in telephone ,ratea throughout North Carolina and that . the commission . : will -order x a reduc tion in gas rates is the forecast today by close observers about the capital. Both predictions will be of: interest over the State since - virtually--. all towns and cities aftected are opposing increase asked for, by the - telephone company as well as 'the temporary gas rates now' in effect. The . hear ings before the commission ' have just been concluded; the telephone company concluding its evidence -yesterday while the.' various-Vgas com- panies held the , attention ofthe com mission the week just passed. Wriiston-Salem, Charlotte, "Raleigh, Durham, New Bern, Greensboro, Salis bury and other cities in the State are involved in the gas rate controversy and all of them are opposing the pre sent rate which was. allowed by" the corporation commission as a tempor ary relief to the gas companies. .The Southern Bell Telephone . Company's operations in ixorcn Carolina maKes its petition for an increase in, rates, totaling 23L percent ,of .more than pass ing interest in 'virtually every large municipality in the State. - The commission has not indicated what its decision will be but there is reason to believe that they prediction that the paying public will be favor ed with decisions in each, instance. JRev. W. L. Hutchins, pastor of the . Jethodist church at Lexington, 'is being boomed as successor tp Roland F. Beasley, retiring commissioner of public welfare. ; Governor Morrison has. been urged to dorjsgjMrgntchins,; who Lit is. '-Tmatrsfwfa ' accept -sincew h ' Is vitally interested m the service that would be afforded by the position. - The name was handed the governor by Will W. Neal Of Marinv?ho is in the city this week. Mr. ;Neal's recommendation of Mr. Hutchins is expected to have : its eff ect since he is considered close to the executive. At the present the work is being done by Mrs. Clarence, Johnson of Raleigh. Mr. Beasley 's resignation was placed in the, hands of the board several: J weeks ago. Governor Morrison has announced the appointment of James F. Barrett of Asheville and Dr. Jenniss Morrill, as members of the board of directors nt fit.f foWTlsBf ftt'Goldsbor6 group : of colored Episco- Morganton. Mr. Barrett succeeds and Dr. Morrill, Rev. J. O. Atkinson of Elon College. The appointment of Dr. Morrill, who is from Pitt county, gives the East recognition on the board which the governor thought it should have. The other members of the board are as follows : W. W. Neal, Mar ion; J. L. Scott, Jr., Graham; W. R. Whitson, Asheville; Mrs., I. P. Jeter, Morganton; A. C. Miller, Shelby.. In the appointment of a succes sor to Archibald Johnson, who could have been reappointed with . ease, there is seen reason to believe that the governor intends to offtfr the secretaryship of the North Carolina Railroad to Mr. Johnson. It may be that the offer will not be accepted but it is a safe prediction that Gover nor Morrison, who is a personal friend of Mr. Johnson, will tender the ap pointment some time" in April along with the other railroad . appoint ments. There will be ,no special . session oxi the legislature in the. opimonbf vGoV-, ernor Morrison who ha'sdld news paper men that the suggestion, that he would issue the call was "ridicu lous." The governor does, not see the necessity of one, ajjdje thinks-that legisfatuors, if they :f were assembled, could do but little iojr3s' straight ening out taxation kinks. If the re gular session which recently adjourn ed could not satisfy all taxation "ex perts" in the State it is unlikely that the governor will ask them - to try a second time. Corporation Commissioner George Pell hopes to be able to announce the inauguration of ' a through pass enger train service .between? Golds boro and Cincinnati ;by Greensboro, Salisbury and Asheville at an. early date.
