Excerpt from Report of the Joint Committee of the Senate and Assembly of the State of New York Appointed to Investigate Telephone and Telegraph Companies: Transmitted to the Legislature March 21, 1910 That there was transmitted with said questions a circular letter calling for an answer to the same. Many of the companies called upon to report upon the blank sent them as above stated, promptly complied With the request of this Committee and furnished the information requested. Others promptly reported, complying in part with the request of the Committee. Others reported tardily and some not at all. Reports are now being received from time to time from some of the small companies. Practically all of the large operating companies have reported and furnished the greater part of the information re quested by this Committee, and it is only fair to those companies to say at this time, that in most cases a failure to furnish the in formation desired by the Committee was due to the inability of the companies to furnish the same within the time specified. There after hearings were had in the cities of Buffalo, Rochester and New York, at which hearings testimony was taken in regard to the matters being inquired into and some documentary evidence was submitted to the Committee. The evidence taken is submitted herewith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
