BROOKS 9 TROUBLES WITH HIS BELL TELEPHONE; CHANGED HIS NUMBER In addition to It* inefficient telephone service, the arbitrary method which the Southern Bell Telephone Company frequently employs In dealing with Its subscribers—the people who make It possible for It to do business—Is a sou roc of much dissatisfaction and complaint. The experiences of J. A. Brooks, real estate dealer, with offices in the Fourth National Bank building. Is good Illustration. “The Bell Telephone Company has treated me most shamefully about my telephone." said Mr. Brooks Tuesday. “1 hive had trouble with them about it a number of times. Ti August, 1906, I made a contract with the company for a telephone In my Jfflee and they gave me No. 1384. The telephone had not been In but nbott three weeks when I was noti fied that It would have to be changed. I oljected, of course, but they told me th>( a hardware company had my number and mine would have to-be rhrnged. i had all my letter heads and en- vrhpes printed with this number on thfm and in addition had done about $51 worth of advertlalng In the news- L papera and this number was printed ae my number. “In spite of my protests they changed the number and gave me 1393. It hap pened that this was njso the number of a saloon on Decatur street, and for several days I had more trouble until the matter was finally adjusted. "In addition to this my 'phone was cut out In July on the charge that I had not paid my dues. The money had not been paid because the collector did not come around on the first of May nor on the first of July, as Is custom ary, and my telephone was cut out and I was subjected to great inconvenience because of some other person’s neg lect. 'As an Instance of poor service, ( few days ago one of the men In my office called for the telephone number of one of my customers. He wsa told three times that the line was busy. He wae In a hurry to see the customer and he walked to his office, a distance of about one-half a mile. When he got there he asked if the line had been ley and was told thqt It had not been led at all In more than half an hour. “These are a few of the many trou bles that I have had with the South ern Bell Telephone Company, and the only thing I regret la that I can’t kick hard enough.’’ NELSON MORRIS, PIONEER PACKER, iilED TUESDAY OF HEART DISEASE That the telegraph strike ts giving I Trouble with the Bell telephone serv- buslness men In Atlanta troubles of | ce continues, according to reports from their own and costing them money was I many business men who depend upon shown Tuesday by the complaint made I the telephone for much of the work, by T.

The rate could be made eight faree for a quar ter and the Georgia Railway and Elec tric Company would still continue In business. There need be no worry about that. Cheaper Gat Light. “The same holds true of the Atlanta Oae Light Company. This corporation claims a perpetual franchise and usee the etreeta of Atlanta at will. The company requires no favors of council and council, therefore, has been power- lest to do anything with It. The re organized railroad commission and the recent act of the legislature changes that entirely. rate of 75 cents for gas would not be too low. and this dan be proven, I am satisfied, without much trouble. "I think The Georgian ha* shown pretty well how the telephone com panies stand. Here Is an opportunity tn enforce a fair schedule and the city council will not let It slip by.” Councilman Terrell Is now drawing up hls resolution. It will be offered at the next session of council and will probably either be adopted then or re ferred to n committee and later ted. ere is no doubt of the fact that the commission has the power to regu late the rate*, as proposed by Coun- llnian Terrell. "The people will be behind me In my fight." stated the councilman, "and we have a people's railroad commlaalon. It’s going to be a long fight, but a suc cessful’ one Just as sure as fate.” No reduction In electric light and power rates will be asked, as, through the effort* of The Georgian, the city lias already gained a reduction of about 20 per rent for the next five years. It seems that where the city and the pub lic utilities have contracted about rates It is then beyond the power of the com- mlealon to make a new schedule. The plan of Councilman Terrell In regerd to the telephone rate ls a slid ing scale, the cost of the telephones In- cresclng a: the number of -ubai ribers Increases. A maximum of about 33.00 will probably lie fixed, so that when the subscription list grows to very great proportions the telephone charges can not be made extortionate. The present rate, under the scale pro posed. would be about 12.50 a tele phone per month. Yacht Captain Smuggler.
