Maw to reduce immediately The telephone rates in Logan late hearing which has telephone been conducted in Salt Lake City during the past week came to a close Tuesday afternoon for the time being It will he tesumed on October 15. In the meantime the matter of the Logan rate may be decided by the commission members consisting of Judge E. E. Corfmun, Thomas E. McKay and T. H Humpherys. Legal counsel for the telephone company objected to the commission making any decision on the Logan ease until the general case had been heard in its entirety. He maintained that a Logan rate even with the Provo rate would be coil- fiseatory at this time. Senator Maw was backed in his icquest by John D. Rice, assistant attorney general. He derided the intimation that should the commission decide to change the Logan rate prior to the completion of the general case the telephone company would appeal to the federal district court. Logan city was also represented in the case by Attorney E. S. Chambers. Alignments With BY WALLACE CARROLL United Rre.ss Stuff (omNinnlent (Uopji'inht, 1931, by United 1iess) BARIS, Feb. 7 (U.P.)
