The phyzlclanz of Atlanta are taking a hand In the protest against poor tel ephone service. A committee from the Fulton County Medical Society has been appointed to lnreetlgate and take atepi toward securing a better service. "The service Is rotten," said a mem ber of the committee Friday morning, ‘and the physicians, more than almost any other class of men, realize It. Al most every one thinks the service poor. The delays aro not only extremely an noying, but Interfere with a doctor's work. No, I can not say what the com. mlttee will do, os we have Just started our Investigation." A number of the physicians have ex pressed themselves as believing that the service should be remedied. One said that he lost a patron through telephone delay. Others state that they are constantly annoyed by delays when time Is precious. Governed by profes sional ethics, physicians refuse to per mit the use of their names In protest ing against the service. Some of the complaints of poor serv. Ice by the Bell Company follow: At a Pay ’Phone. A kick of a somewhat different char acter against the Bell telephone mon opoly was registered Wednesday by a prominent Whitehall street merchnnt. He tried to use one of the pay ’phones at the West End exchange. He says he put a nickel In the slot when told and that tho operator then demanded another nickel before he could get a connection. It Is further claimed that It took 35 minutes to get the connec tion without being held up for another nickel. "I would have paid a dollar," he said, "If that had been the price, but I would have spent a hundred dollars before I would be held up for a second nickel.” He says he received consider able abuse during the controversy. The following Is from Milton A. Smith, president of the Smith & Simpson Lumber Company: To The Georgian: Seeing that others are telling of the Imperfect service of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, wish to say that only lost night I was given the wrong number three differ ent times, and at last waited twenty minutes, with watch In hand, and got no response, although I made every ef fort possible to attract the attention of the operator. I am like others—think the city should receive a reasonable compensation for the use of her streets from corporations that are collecting large sums from her people and giving bad service In return. Respectfully, MILTON A. SMITH. M. Mlddlebrooks, 343 Peters street: ”1 have been displeased with >hone service, but when I je number of non-subecrlb- era using the ’phone so often and the rough manner In which we all use It when ws aro fretted, I hardly know how to blame. If everybody would go gently to the ’phone, speak softly and plainly and welt If the busy signal Is given, the results would no doubt be better. The ’phone Is a public blessing, with all Its faults. It, like all corporations, has to be restrained, or spurred up by proper legislation. “8ervlee Is Rotten, G. B. Massengale. of the Massengale Advertising Agency: "The service Is rotten. We pay for a single line but frequently we can hear other people talking when we pick up a receiver. The delays are frequent and troublesome." At the American Bridge Company, of New York, It was stated that Thurs- day there was some Improvement In the service, but that as a usual thing It was very uncertain. In the offices of Solomon-Norcross Company, engineers. It was said: ” We have timed some of our calls. One of them took fifteen minutes by the watch before central answered at all. The de- lays are constant and we have noticed but little Improvement” Thos. B. Blake, of the Atlanta Com press Company: "The service is not altogether satisfactory. I hare grown rather accustomed to telephone troubles, but then wrong numbers and long waits are Inclined to cause Impatience." George L. Crandall, fiscal agent: ’The telephone Instruments In Atlanta are superior to New York or almost any other city. There la trouble at the ex change. but what It Is I can not say. It may be difficulty In securing the FILTER CONTRACT TO BE HELD OP Grant Wilkins, contractor, representing the William B.

Although Governor Smith affixed his signature to the railroad commission bill Thursday evening, he haa not yet announced the two new members of the commission. Rumors persist about tbe capitol that one of the places will go to Judge George Hlllyer. Governor Smith has expressed the Intention of placing a lo cal man on the commission, In order to have a resident member. It la pointed out that Judge Hlllyer Is a close student of public matters, Is a warm friend of the governor and Is a sound and conservative business man. Many of the well known business men of the city ure known to favor him for S ince on the board. ’o Information haa come from Sa vannah relative to that city’s choice of a representative on the commission. So far the name of A. B. Moore, a well known business man and vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, has been moat prominently mentioned In this connection. W. U. Stllwell, head of the Chamber of Commerce, and Major W. W. Williamson have also been men tioned. Judge J. K. Hines was sworn In Frt- ry by the governor aa attorney the railroad commission. Judge H afterwards met and hod a brief chat with Commissioner McLendon. Con gressman T. W. Hardwick witnessed the administration of the oath of office to Judge Hines. They come from the same county, and Congressman Hard wick expressed himself aa delighted with the appointment. Governor Smith aent the following telegram to Savannah Friday: Major W. W. Williamson and Others, SAvannah, Ga.: "Without In any way committing myself to accept your suggestion or as to the place from which the commis sioners will be taken, I will be pleased tomorrow (Saturday) to hear any sug gestions which you and your associates may wish to present with reference to the railroad commission. "HOKE SMITH." ISE management." ’Thanka to the O-orglan I am get ting better service already." said L. B. Greer, deupty United States marshal. "If the light Is kept up maybe we will _ all get proper attention from the corn- proper help or it may be merely bad pany." Officials Say Flat 2^-Ccnfi Rate is Absurd Prop osition. , Another meeting of prominent execu* live officials of various railroads doing business In Georgia was held Thursday. The meeting was an Informal one, and was for the purpose of talking over th* railroad situation In Alabama and thw- situation In Georgia. No action was taken concerning any proposition to the railroad commission for a compromise reduced railroad rate, and It was stated authoritatively that euch road would lake such action as Its officials thought best.. It was de clared absurd for the roads to agree upon a 3 1-2 cent compromise, for the reason that some of the roads are al lowed to charge this and mere, and these would not enter Into any com-: promise proposition with other roads not allowed to charge 21-2 cents. Rallrosd men think It quite probable that after the reduced rates go Into effect cheap excursion and other rates below the regular schedule will be abolished. Such action has been threatened In other states, so railroad men think It quite probable here.
