Several years ago The Cambridge
Board of Trade filed complaint
} with the Public Service Commission
of Maryland relative to the rates be-
ing charged by the Telephone Com
, pany at that time for service, alleg-
ing in its complaint that the rates
were discriminatory, inasmuch as
the company was charging more mo-
ney in Cambridge than in Salisbury
for practically the same service, al
} though in reality the Salisbury sub
scribers were getting more service
for less money. This complaint op-
} ened up the whole telephone service
i. question in Maryland, and, nOtwith-
> standing the fact that it has been
} pending several years, has not been
settled as yet. As will be seen by
an item elsewhere in this issue, Girls.
, field is endeavoring to regulate the
rates by Town Ordinance.
