HARSH CHARGES IN
BIG ISLANDER SUIT
r. II. Wilson, Charlotte County
Official, Sues Concern for Defa-
nation Of Character.

Contrary to expectation. the $1,000
SANDER suit of r. n. Wilson. chairman
OF the road board of Charlotte County,
against the Huber Manufacturing Com
pany was not given to the jury in the
United States District Court yesterday
afternoon. The hearing will be re-
suihed this morning at 1880 o'clock
verdict will probably be reached
to-day.
Wilson was accused by the Huber
company of having used his position
TO swing the purchase of road
rolling machine to a competition, of
having taken an underha nded advan-
tage of his influence and of having
liked the test of the machines in ad-
vance. The Huber company alleges
that Wilson prejudiced it's machine to
such an extent In the eyes of the other
members of the board that it failed to
receive a fair testing.
These charges, which were made in
letter to Wilson from an officer of
the company, Wilson brands as ma
iic'ous false and damaging to his rep
utation I'm the community The cor
respondence between tho official and
the company WAS made public by some

NO MORE PERMITS
F0RNEWC0NDU|TS
Telephone Company Sharply
Called to Account for In
iuring Streets.

AS result of failure on the part of
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company to refill trenches properly or
to repave streets as they were before
conduits were laid. the Administrative
Eoard yesterday announced it's inten
tion to grant this company no further
permits until all streets Into which It
has dug are fully restored.
The telephone company asked permits
sion to lay a new conduit system in tho
entire district bounded by Second Street
on the west. Seventh Street on the east.
Grace Street OH the north and CANDLES
Fill Park on the south thus placing in
underground connections the telephone
service of approximately thirty city
blocks.
Captain Mccarthy moved that no
further permits be granted to this COM
pany for underground work until all
trenches have been restored to proper
condition and street paving placed in
good condition. and his motion was
adopted unanimously. Tho telephone
company has recently made extensive
enlargement to It's conduit system In
the western part of the city. and many
complaints have come to tho board OF
badly filed trenches. OF street paving
torn up and dumped back almost any
w y
face of streets. II is also stated that
tho City Engineers Office has called
tho attention of the telephone company
to many such cases and that little or
no attention has been paid. tho trenches
remaining untitled and tho paving
stones as rough as before.
The telephone company has an
nounced It's purpose of spending
100000 In Richmond in extending It's
conduit system, already miles ahead OF
the requirement Of the city under
ground ordinance. The more permanent
construction eliminates danger OF acct
| dents and insures the service from In
terruption in time of sleet or storm.
