TO RAISE PHONE RATES
DESPITE POOR SERVICE
The c. & P. Serves Formal Notice In
Washington

In spite Of the general complaint
of unsatisfactory telephone service
everywhere. the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Company yesterday
gave formal notice of a proposed in
crease in rates. The enormous in
crease of the governments business.
due to the conditions brought about in
the departments by the vast expan-
sion of departmental service, has
made the unofficial service in Wash
ington exceedingly trying, but the
telephone company, instead OF reduc-
ing its rates TO the level Of its sery-
i've, proposes to increase them A
formal application has been made 70
the Public Utilities Commission for
this increase, but the Commission an
nounces that the public viii be given
every opportunity to be heard before
action is taken.
During the debates in Congress on
bills to make the telephone service a
part of the Postofiice Department,
it has been repeatedly stated that the
telephone rates in Washington are al
ready unduly high.
At the local business Office this
morning inquiry was made by the
Capital relative to increased tele-
phone rates here The statement was
given out that no official order for
such increase had yet been received.

In such a way that it allows the wind
to pass through 1t, thereby reducing
the wind pressure. In spite of the
materials used, it is comparatively
light. An American flag Of this sort
flies from the top Of tall bank build
ing in Boone, and 1t has been found
to possess many advantages over a
