Varcoe of Toronto, re- presenting the Independent Tele- lphone Company, advised the peti- ltioners to have nothing to do with the Bell` company, and to control their own lines and s.witch.boa.rd. He pointed. out that c`onnecting- withthe Bell would- be similar to building a house and when it is completed hand- ing the key over `to another party. The company that controls the switchboard controls the lines of all ocmpanies connected with it. Mr.| Varcoc also -pointed, out. .'mstanoes~ where municipal systems have put in phones in opposition to the Bell and} thenumber of phones on the muni-I cipalwline` far exceeds the number on the Bell" lines.
