extension of Telephone Connection.

Samuel NJ. Bryan, of Washington, general
manager of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tel
ephone Company, with superintendent E. L.
Miller, and c. d. Tyson, manager of the
Frederick Exchange, visited the Westminster
Exchange last week. Supt. Miller, who has
been urging the building of direct line be-
tween Baltimore and Westminster, visited this
city again on Friday, with the assurance of
the general manager that the Baltimore line
will be built as soon as the weather permits,
and that DIRECT communication with that city
will be opened not later than April 1st, and
as much earlier as is possible. Mr.. Miller has
also been persistently urging the extension of
the line to various points in Carroll county,
and has the assurance of the management that
the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible,
and to any point in the county at which a
sufficient number ofsubscribers can be assured
to Justify the building of the line. A letter to
the subscribers here from General Manager
Bryan corroborates Mr.. Miller's statement.
A little energy and push on the part of sub
scribers in distant parts of the county, will
secure this much needed improvement, and
assure abundant telephone communication
throughout Carroll county.
