Refused Request to Erect New Wires in Area (Special Staff correspondence) NEEDLES, Aug. 8.

Word was received In Needles today that the Application of the Public Utilities California corporation to construct toll telephone lines to various points in San Bernardino county has been denied by the state railway commission. Hearing of the application was held in the San Bernardino courthouse several weeks ago, and was opposed by the Bell system. The proposed lines would have linked Needles and San Bernardino via the National Old Trails highway. Another line would have been constructed from Needles to Las Vcpas by way of Arrowhead Junction. The action of the rsllway commission leaves Needles without direct telephonic connection with the county seat.

However, denial of the application does not preclude filing of another pica. The railway commission, In announcing its denial of the application, contended that no adequate proof of public convenience and necessity for such lines was shown by the applicant. The Bell system, which successfully opposed the application, Is now constructing a line from San Bernardino to Las Vegas, and is planning one from Needles to Whitewater by way of Twenty-nine I'aims.
