. The Cuba review. Cuba -- Periodicals. THE CUBA REVIEW. 'Ilie Culjan laborL-r with cait and oxen, leaving his ijahn-thatched hut, ready for the day's work. I'n labrador cubano, saliendo de su choza cubierta de guano, listo para el trabepo del dia, y su carro y bueyes. The official signing of the Telephone contract allowing the Cuban Franchise Telephone Co. the franchise Signed. for a local long distance sys- tem throughout the six prov- inces of Cuba took place on September 10. At the same time the concession granted the Havana Telephone Co. on April 24, 1909, was annulled. The action favoring the first named com- pany was based on the long distance tele- phone act of June 18 last, whereby such service was authorized. The annulling of the concession of the Havana Telegraph Co. was because it was a violation of the law of the executive power, which requires that all contracts and concessions must be regularly advertised and granted only to the highest bidder. The Cuba Telephone Co., which is the new name of the Havana Telephone Co., made application in April and this was made the subject of a special presidential message to Congress and passed July 18. The system connecting cities and towns between Guane. Pinar del Rio Province and Santiago de Cuba, Oriente Province, will be ready in two years and the extension to Baracoa from the latter city one year later. In Havana the wires will be underground. The decree excludes the Cuban Telephone Company from towns where there are local systems established under prior rights, but it is authorized to arrange for connections, with such companies and to establish long distance telephone booths connecting their island system. An official list of these local systems throughout the island, giving name of owner of concession, locality and duration follows : Official List of Authorized Public Names of Concessioners.
