Interchange of Phone Service Bill Heads to Legislature
Rep. Adam Oberlin will introduce a bill to require inter exchange of telephone service between companies for a fee set by the Public Utilities Commission. If enacted, Bell subscribers and Stark line users could be connected to others, with a monthly fee and a central clearing house. The measure, backed by Canton chambers and medical society efforts, faces opposition from carriers who fear wild cat operators. Oberlin expects state regulation via fixed fees by the utilities commission.

School Board Loses Suit in Supreme Court
The Supreme Court, by denying a motion to appeal, affirmed the Stark County Appeals Court ruling that ordered the Canton School Board to pay $800 in attorney fees to John C. Welty and A. M. McCarty. The case, brought by Thomas Rabe and others to stop real estate purchases and a $100,000 bond issue, proceeded through Stark County Common Pleas and the appellate court, which initially enjoined the property purchase but not the bond. The Supreme Court issued a perpetual injunction against both actions. City Solicitor Ruff represented the school board.
