BUSINESS MEN PROTEST MOHTHLYTEUEPHQNE BILLS I The monthly statements for city calls are being sent oat this morning by the Chicago Telephone company and already the business and professional men have begun putting in their kicks, alleging that they have been overcharged on their city calls. During the last month the majority of the local business men have kept account of all calls down town that go over their wire and upon comparing them at the end of the month, overcharges varying from 75 cents to three and four dollars have been put on the bills, The only way to eliminate the controversy between the telephone company and the business men is to send out an itemized account at the end of the month. However, the telephone company flatly refuses to do this on the ground that it takes too much time and requires an extra office force.
