Mr.. Pollard spoke against the bill and
said:
Mr. Chairman, desire to say that this
is q question in which not only the citi-
zens OF Richmond are interested,
but the citizens of every city
and town of the Commonwealth. L would

Mrs. Meredith then spoke. Mr..
Chairman: T am somewhat familiar with
the great fight put up by the city OF
Richmond against the Southern Bel
Telephone Company, in trying to get back
her rights in the various Federal courts.
AFTER having fought for five long years
a bitter warfare, every inch of ground
being hotly contested, bill Is suddenly
sprung to take away all the rights which
the Supreme Court of the United States
decided were reserved to the city. The
bill proposes to give this telephone com
