comment Yesterday. The defeat oil INC

TO GO BY RICHMOND.
General Meany. the president ana
Senator Daniel. general counsel OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph COM
many. are still in the city. Yesterday
afternoon they drove out to MaiNeiH
Hul. Speaking Of the situation, as lai
as his company Is concerned in virginia
now General Meany said that 1t wou,d
have long-distance service In operation III
Manchester within a month.
"Our line is completed" he continued
from Norfolk to yellow Tavern, pass
ing Richmond on the west and crossing
tho James river near the Belt-bi'e
bridge. This we were compelled TO DO
because the city Of Richmond delayed
ca long in granting consent to our con-
Meeting Richmond with the long-dlsiahce
system. We shall proceed north from
yellow Tavern, connecting TINS Inc
with the system there.
1--WE will build into Manchester as soon
as the line Is completed from yellow
Tavern TO Washington The work OF
constructing the lire into Manchester
will only take two days time.
"Our company is organized to do
general telephone and telegraph busi-
ness. and we don't feel Ike surrender
ing any Of our chartered rights at the
demand for any municipality.
AS TO LOCAL EXCHANGES.
eft hasn't been our practice to engage

mess IN 10 the present time, inasmuch
as we have always found other compa-
mics i'm the position 10 furnish efficient
local service, as well as being in 20
sition TO furnish us with proper tefmi-
nal facilities. Should we. however ma
that in any city we enter the lack OF
anv of these facilities or the inability
Of the local companies to furn sh them,
we. of course would be compehed 10
furnish them ourselves
General Meany said that Richmond
was the only city that had refused en-
trance. and he was very much surprised
at the situation. He had no harsh worot
to say regarding the Councils action
and took the matter philosophically.
