In 1933 the commieâ€" eions for long distance calls from Baden amounted to $389.41. In 1934 they were $417.83. The cash book showed an income of $9,562.47 with expenditures of $9,â€" 382.53. The perennial problem of parties on party lines exceeding the five minute limit was considered very carefully at the annual meeting and all subscribers will be requested to meet the convenience of other phone users by not monopolizing too much time.

This service is much appreciated by the commisâ€" sion and has helped a great deal. During the year a very unfortunate accident occurred to the line man, Mr. Diebel, who was unfortunate in falling from a pole and breaking his leg below the knee. Fortunately comâ€" pensation and hospital bills are paid by the workmen‘s compensation board. The election of commiesioners and muditors resulted in the election of E. D. Kidt, Herbert Bergey and N. M. Steinman as comissioners with W. Russel and Thos. Nisbit as auditore. As a result of this accident the annual meeting urged all eubscribers to have the poles in their lines as good as. the poles of the system. During the year 1934 over $1,000 was spent by the system in cabling and wiring. * At the commissioner‘s meeting folâ€" lowing the annual meeting, E. D. Ridt was reâ€"elected chairman and A. R. G.
