He then cites a supreme court decision which holds that to constiâ€" tute public use it is necessary that all .persons have an equal right to the use and such usemust not be conâ€" fined to specificâ€" privileged persons. The opinion states: "It seems clear that telephones placed in the rooms of hotels are for the use of specific privâ€" ileged persons, namely, the guests or patrons of such hotels and therefore such ‘hotels would not be public utiliâ€" ties within the purview of the act." sUMMER SCHOOL AT _ _ NEW TRIER HIGH At Least Does Not Come Under; Jurisdiction of Commisâ€" sion; Opinion ' Prominent Backers ; The officers of the new bank will be announced later.

S, GARDEN CLUB SUMMER PROGRAM His plan is to call on merchants in small cities, and inform them that he has been sent to check their income h}pchednles for the previous year. He usually has a lengthy talk on inâ€" come tax matters and then complains about his auto. This paves the way for asking that the merchant cash a check for him. These checks range in size from $15 to $50. He also wears 1 bronze badge ‘bearing an inseriptior "Internalâ€" Revenue." ‘In some cases he makes a small purchase and then presents one of the bogus checks. _ The swindler, it is pointed out, repâ€" resents himself to be a deputy collecâ€" tor of internal revenue, and under that pretext has succeeded in cashing many worthless checks.
