In Memoriam.
MRS. CHARLOTTE PENDLETON
PLUMMER.

"For they rest from thei> labors. y
Such was the beautiful quotation of
Sacred Script read at the passing OF
Mrs. Charlotte Pendleton Plummer,
whose remains were committed to
earth in the beautiful Episcopal Grave
yard at Upper Marlboro, February 3rd-
To say that she was honored by the
strong friendship of many friends be-
sides her immediate relatives during
grave; for many there were who paid
her their last tribute of respect. She
was the widow of the late Mordicai S.
Plulnmer, and leaves a son to mourn
her loss, if indeed we may call it loss,
for she rests from her labors, and we
believe has passed to the Great Be-
yond where rest, oh, rest, from. earth's
trials is the after birth-right of poor
humanity. Let us in giving her up,
think of the many acts of kindness sshe
gave unto US, and remember that in
her last moment almost, she sought
the Great Redeemer at Saint Marga-
ret's Holy Table on February End, at
twelve clock, and gave adleu to earth
at seven following. After life's ftful
endeavors let US say farewell, for she
rests from her labors. Let anguish
give away to the very dear memory of
a we'll spent life, and remember her
many kindly acts to us all as the most
devoted tablet we can inscribe of her.

Our Obligation to the Community.

With reference to the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephons Company's ad-
vertisement on the telephone situation
in Maryland, Mr.. l.. D. Maham,
District Manager of the Company, gave
out the following statement;
Our advertisement headed THE Tele
phone Situation in Maryland. is the
first of number of similar announce
ments which we expect to make in the
press. We are now before the Public
Service Commission with an pplica
ton for certain rate increases through
out this state, and our idea is that it is
only fair, to the public and to our
selves, that we should present the
salient facts of our case to the public
throughout the columns of the news
papers.
We simply want to make clear our
reasons for asking the Public Service
Commission for revision of telephone
rates; and the outstanding reason is, of
course, the fact that in 1919 we did not
even earn enough to pay our operating
expenses and interest charges.
We are confronted with great de.
| mands for service from plant more or
| less exhausted by the burden that has
been placed upon it during the past
| several years. We are anxious to meet
all of these demands, to maintain the
! service at high standard and expand
our plant to meet the growth oI the
communities we serve. 1t cannot be
done, however, if we are to continue
| operations under the handicap of insult
| ficient revenues.
The materials we need have been
| scarce and expensive, and the cost OF
labor has steadily been going up. We
| cannot do as private industry might
arbitrarily raise our rates or suspend
| operations until the times become more
| nearly normal. Therefore, we are go,
ing to the proper authority, the Public
Service Commission Of Maryland, with
our petition for relief.
All of the facts and figures are being
| laid before the Commission, and the
public may rest assured that it will
make a thorough investigation. As g
further effort to give proper publicity
| to the facts in the case, we have de-
cided TO use the advertising columns OF
the newspapers. Until the matter is
decided we ask that the public suspend
judgement as to the reasonableness OF
our request.
