over the full extent Of the line instead oi
charging additional fee beyond certain
points in the Southern Maryland Tele-

Therefore be it resolved that on and
after September first Of the present wear

subscribers two dollars per moRth 20 be
paid in advance, allowing the subscriber
eighty calls per month. twenty Of which

We examined, as for as time wouls

The only suggestion wehave to make

statement, so that the stockholders an,
the general public may more readily un
derstand the same.
