Publishing Company is a corporation,

affairs, but who own the stock purely
as ar investment. So that while the
Editor feels at liberty to use his pen

fact that we are left at entire liberty in

THE TELEPHONE SITUATION

~ HE telephone people have noti-
fed their subscribers in this
section that their free service,
after January /, will be confined TO
Chesapeake City, Elkton and North
East exchanges, the regular toll rate
to be charged to Port Deposit, Perry
vile, Rising Sun and all other points.
The COMPANY makes no mention OF any
increase in rental OF phones and we
presume no such increase is contem-
plated. The present order simply cur
tails the scope of free service permitted
TO a subscriber. II the Company is
not intending to go beyond the bounds
OF this present order, we confess that
no very serious criticism can be made

phone regulations in other counties,
where we are told il is quite custom

change. Aitcr having had the full run
