THE LOCAL SITIATION. The people of lleshcrton appear to have auddcniy awakened to the vast advantages accruing from a cou.:- cillorship in the civic body, anci a veritable S'.Tamblc has resulted from the meetin;,- on Friday evening last, when twelv;' r)iiiination3 were madj to fi!i t;i;co vacant positions in the Coun' il.

N'cver in our experience of tho p.is; forty years has so much doplorable bittcrntjis been displayed as in this election, and it is n mooted question whether this unwonted activity is a sign of ndvar .cr.irnt or retrogression to the noii sordid elements. For many years it has been almost imnos- sillc to pot men to stand for the Council. Some of those in the run- ning to-tlay have pc'r;;istcntly de- clined tiivc and r.<Tain in the past to have anything lo do with civic lagii- lation. They prefc-red Id stand back and "kick."

KENNEDY â€" : We Deliver in Town : â€" The Bell Telephone Company and the American Company THE relationship between the Cell Telephone Company of Canada and the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company consists of :â€" L stock â€" the American company owns thirty-one per cent of Bell Xelephone Company shares. 2. contractâ€" the Be!! Telephone Company owns a contract by which the American company sup- plies research products and other services on a sliding scale of paj-ment. The stock relationsliip has existed since the Canadian company began in 1S80. One-third of the $400,000 needed to form tho company was not available until the American company agreed to pro\-ide it. The contract was made in 1923 to put dealings bo- Iwecn the two companies on a definite business basis. It may be terminiited at the cad of 1932 if the Canadian company so desires. effect of stock relationship 'yriE telsphono system in Ontario and Quebec today is owned by 15,300 shareholders. Of these, 95 per cent live in Canada and own 62 per cent of tho total share.?. The largo.-t individual holdLng is 1510 shares whicli is one ('uorlcr of c:io per cent of the total. The average individual lioldin;? is 27 shares, -which j-ield an income of ^216 a year. The Bell Telephone Company is thus a great enter- prise which liaj become thoroughly democratized and to this tha American rciationjhip has contributed two definite advantages: First, it has been a source of new money for devel- opment. Tiio Am.erican torapa.ny, as a sharehcldsr lias never falkJ to rc.-.po.-.d, L-i gccd t;:nc3 or bad, v.iiCir money v,-as needed to c:;lend the system Ij i.ioot publia demands upon it. Secondly, it has been a safeguard against cxp!oit.i- l;on. Attempts on tlio part cf promoters to secure control of the telephone .'system have failed becausa the American holding of the company's shares has been in the. hands of men who are interested in tha leleplione business for thp progress of tha industry and not for its financial c:inloitation, effect of th c contract ♦yRE Bell Telephone Company has secured U.rc3 chiei advantages by the contract of 1923:â€" rirst, it obtains all products of the Bel! laboratories, which are the largest industrial rcacarch laboratories in the worid, with a staff of five thousand. No single company could hope to support such an organization. It is possible only by co-operation of many associated companies. One example of research work is the "loading coil" which has eliminated the need for heavy wires in- ,. creasing iii siao with distanco. This has saved mil- lions of dollars. Similar discoveries have saved other millions for the telephone user and given him a better telephone. The research clause of tho contract ulone more than balances the contrr^it fee. Secondly, the Caiftdian company has rights to tho use of all invenUons. The American company now owM more than 5,000 patents essential in every phaae of telephone operation. 'The contract gives the CanadJaa company use of these patents and places the American company vmi^r obligation to take out Canadian paterts on any new invenUona the Cana- dian company wishes. Thirdly, the contract glvea the Canadian eompuy a BteMly supply of leporta and aUtistica regaidiac new oparatinc methodi under trial by the aasoeUted companiei of the American sy*t«n. Dangeroui experiments are thus avoided. When the Canadian company makes a change in method it ia to a well tested method and the services of apedalists 'rom the American company are available, by con- tract, to assist in making it An e.xample of this ia the change from manual to dial system. Both in the stock holding and in the contract provisions Canadian telephone users are protected and assisted by the relationship with the American company. ^ I i i.
