CITIZENS QUERIES
DELAY HEARING OF
PHONE WITNESSES
The Worlds Smallest Ne

Antagonism to the increase in
rates proposed by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company on the
part OF representatives OF trade and
civic bodies pervaded the public hear
ing before the Public Utilities Com
mission today. At times the pro-
tests of citizens threatened the prog
ress OF the hearing. It was with the
greatest difficulty that Commissioner
Brownlow maintained order while
witnesses for the telephone company
continued with their testimony.
Again and again representatives OF
citizens associations and trade
bodies interrupted the examination OF
the witnesses and demanded TO be
heard. These interruptions came in
spite OF Commissioner Brownlow's
promise that all should have ample
opportunity to present their cases.
The citizens were not satisfied to
rest their cases They wanted to
speak. and to speak at, once.
On one occasion, Mr.. vAGcwnlow be-
came exasperated. an took time
nrcm the procedure totNise and ask
the citizens TO reserve their questions
and protests until they should be
given an opportunity to speak. He
asked fer order, saying that the in
terruptions were interfering with the
