Supreme Court to be Asked to Take
This Action in the Case.
UP TO The COUNCIL TO ACT.
Important Question Is Whether That
Body Will Order Poles and Wi Tres
Cut Down if Highest Tribunal
Uphoids Mr.. Pollar,l-Posi-
tion of the Company Not
known Here as Yet.

It was learned last night that City At
,torney H. r. Pollard yesterday served,
Eotice on Messrs- Stiles < Holiday, of
counsel for the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, that he would on the second
Monday in January file motion before the
Supreme Court of the United States asking
either the dismissal OF the case of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company VS.. tha
city of Richmond, or that the Judgment of
the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals be affirmed The latter tribunal last
spring sustained the contention of the
city to the effect that the Bell Company
had no right upon the streets of Rich
mcnd.
Five years ago the City Council and the
Southern Sell Telephone Company began
their war. and at that time the Richmond
Telephone Company, what has ever
since been called the new company. was
chartered and began business here. The
franchise of the Bell people had expired.
and the Council ordered them 10 remove
their poles and wires from the streets of
the city. To this the Belle Company paid
no attention.
ABOUT TO CUT DOWN POLES.
The Committee on Streets was about
to send out a force of men to chop down
the poles and wires of the old company.
when the Bet people fled an application
with the UEited States District Court and
secured an Injunction restraining the city
from interfering with its service in any
way on the ground Shat the streets of the
city were post roads, and. therefore, the
telephone wires and poles, being used in
the transmission Of matters pertaining to
the United States business, had a legal
right to be and remain upon them
This question was fought out in the
courts. The city being victorious. the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
rendering a decision in accordance with
instructions from the United States Su-
preme Court. II was taken from this
court on supersefeas proceedings to the
Supreme Court recently. and when this
tribunal reconvenes after the holidays Mr.
Pollard's motion will be Submitted.
COUNCIL MUST ACT.
II the Supreme Court sustains the mo-
ton of the city Attorney by dismissing
the case or affirming the Judgment OF the
Circuit Court OF Appeals, it Will then be
up to the Council 20 act. unless sae Bell
Company should quietly retire from the
field
Much interest would be unaffected in
the question whether or not the City Coun-
Gil would again attempt TO cut down the
noles and wires OF the Bell Company, and
likewise in what steps the company would
take to maintain status OF the streets
OF Richmond.
