PROTESTS EXTENSION
OF TELEPHONE SERVICE
C. and P. Company Objects to
Privilege Demanded by
Bethesda Patron.

Declaring that to extend the territory
north of the District line within which
subscribers may obtain direct communi-
cation with the Cleveland telephone ex-
change would be unjust and unreason-
able, and would introduce various dis
ordinations in the service and rates."
the answer of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company to the
complaint OF D. E. Stephan OF this
city. who owns property at Highland
Park. Bethesda, Nd, has been filed at
the interstate commerce commission.
The company also denies that it's serv-
ice through the Bethesda exchange is
inadequate, and declares that it's service
and rates are SO arranged as to serve
best the interests of the great majority
of patrons in the communities through
the territory involved.
The complaint of Mr.. Stephan was filed
April 10 last. and at some length pointed
out that the telephone company had es-
tablished certain boundary lines north of
the District line within which only they
would permit connections direct with the
Cleveland exchange in Washington. Mr.
Stephan declared that his property was
nearer to the District line than many
places within the mile radius. and de-
clared that by the fact Of the establish
ment Of the line his property had depre-
ciated in value.
Explains the Contract.
The reply answers each paragraph of
the complaint separately. 1t admits the
rates which Mr.. Stephan says were
charged him when he first entered into the
contract, but the company asserts that
this contract was temporary while the
defendant was rearranging its facilities
in the territory involved. and that the
complainant was told of this at the time
the contract was made. The company
denies that the rates for toll service be-
tween the Bethesda exchange and eX-
changes within the District Of Columbia
constitute an unjust or unlawful dis
criminal ion
That the property of the complainant
is nearer the District line than any of the
points south of the boundary line estab-
lished by the telephone company is denied
in the answer to the complaint. The
company also denies that the complain
ant is entitled to the same service and
rates as those offered to subscribers with
in the mile radius, but says that it has
offered to the complainant and is ready
to supply the same service and at the
same rates as offered to other patrons
of the company under similar conditions
and circumstances.
