SOME THREATENED WITH

In some cages whore tho merchant

Of himself and his patrons. the tclc-
phone officials have insisted that the

where il is not accessible 10 the public.
Those who have refused TO allow their

where they nave been for years have
been threatened. IL is said, with dis
continuance of service.
Some time ago It was held by tho
state Corporation Commission that the
Chesapeake and Potomac Company was
acting within it's rights. but the com
mission held that If the regulation was

compliance and tho protest has now
reached such proportions that it Is
probable that some official action may

have procured copies Of the franchise
under which the company is doing
business in Richmond for the purpose
Of ascertaininE its power TO dictate
whether a subscriber who is willing to
pay for telephone for the free u.s."
of his customers must be forced to
install a pay station.
In some cases it is known thnt mcr-
chants have requested the company TO
put in pay stations in the part of their
stores given over TO the reception of
the public on the ground that the con-
slant use of the line constituted a nuiS-
ance detrimental of their business.
Figures obtained by tn" company
show that as high as 100000 calls
have been made in n single year over
one line. the instrument Of which was
accessible to the public. The officials
contend that the use Of line to this
extent is q handicap TO the conduct
of hrStclass and efficient service. and
