It is, therefore, generally better to locate wells on the opposite side of privies and cesspools from a river or lake, rather than to have the wells between the privies and cesspools and a river or lake.

He did this couviucingly by an investigali:"'• tion along novel lines which showed some surprising results.

Unique Tee| Made Arrangements were made to h;' ;**; have these three subscribers keep track of all of their calls for a period of thirty days, entering them in books furnished by the company for that purpose. These books were ruled to permit the Zj&A recording of the date, the call, the telephone number called, and ! U > a notation as to whether It was a * social or business call. - t The day was of no particular value, accept as a matter of record. The telephone number was very neeeesary. as it was from Vthftt the company got the distance. • tn order that business calls only mi^lt be considered it was neces- ;5'| sary that calls be classified into > : business and social. The subscribers were requested to register in the business column ; only those calls where a trip would have been made to the telephone number called, had they not had a telephone. All other i calls were to be placed In the 1' column headed "social calls." On examining the record# at the expiration of thirty days, it was > found that mbacrlber No. 1, farming HA aexea, had a total of thlr- ' ty-nine baoiness calls and twenty- I two social calls. Subacriber No 2 had seventy buslnees calls and H flfeen social calls.Snbscvllwr No. 3 '% had a tamat u|nety-ouefcwiness - " id suij mm mm eiPa. WAs previously mentioned, for the purpose of determining the value of the telephone to the farmer, no value was placed on social calls. Neither were they considered in this report, although they have a value, no one can deny. In order to determine the saving to the farmer in time and traveling expenses it was necessary to arri,ve at a cost per mile, which should Include both of these items and at the same time be made low enough so as to not permit any argument as' to its being too high. Finally the company decided to use the very low figure of five cents per mile and up to the present time no one has said that the figure was too high. Result Was Surprising final result was a surgpfet to everyone concerned as it was much greater than anyone expected It made the farmer's side of the case look like a profiteer several times magnified in comparison to the company's little monthly rate which was the purchase price of traveling expenses saved for thirty days for these three particular subscribers. And these were no different from the company's other rural subscribers under like circumstances. Subscriber No. 1, farming 160 acres, had thirty-nine business calls which produced a mileage one'way only of 1S3 miles, computed at five cents per mile, amounted to $7.S5. Subscriber No, 2, farming 320 acres, had seventy business calls with a mileage one way of 216 miles, which computed at five cents amounted to |10.80. Subscriber No. 3, farming 960 acres, had ninety-one business calls with a mileage one way of 444 miles, which computed at five cents amounted to $22.20. It will be noted that the actual dollars and cents saved to the fanner in time and traveling expenses on business calls Is the only thing considered in arriving at these figure*. Furthermore, that the mileage is only figured one way and not on a round-trip basis, because if a person had no telephone and had to make these trips personally, he would perhaps make several calls in one neighborhood on one trip. For that reason the mileage on the teleaa figured eaiy one Is there proUes your 1*.m0 t gas •¥m M render t ^community gas service "is both an obligation and an opportunity.
