filed an answer to the bill of complaint of the
Maryland Telephone and Telegraph Company
against the County Commissioners and the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company,
for an injunction to restrain the defendants
from in any manner interfering with the wires
and cross arms of the plaintiff company ON
certain poles on Ingleside avenue, Gainesville.

corporation, and that the only rights the
County Commissioners have is the reserved
right to string the wires of its fire alarm sys-
tenn on the poles in dispute, and that the

sNo trust or combinat ion is more danger
