Telephone Poles Make Trouble.-The |

by its attorney, Mr.. T. Scott Offutt, on Tues |
day last filed a bill in equity in the Circuit |
Court against the County Commissioners of |
Baltimore county and the Chesapeake and |
Potomac Telephone Company, asking that an
Injunction be granted restraining the defen-
dants from interfering with the plaintiffs |
cross arms on certain poles on Ingleside avenue,
Catonsville. Judge Burke signed an order re-
curing the defendants to show cause why the
Injunction should not be granted.
It appears that some time ago the County
Commissioners turned over the use OF poles
erected for the county fire-alarm system TO the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company.
Subsequently the Maryland Company secured
permission to use some of the same poles
The Chesapeake Company claimed ownership
of them and asked the Commissioners to re-
woke the order granted the Maryland Com
pany, which was done on Tuesday The latter
claims in its bill of complaint that the Com
missioners had no right to revoke the order or
to give the county property away. The COM
pany also claims that it has gone to consider
able expense in placing its lines on the poles.
