Statement For The Press

With reference to the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany's advertisement on the teIe-
phone situation in Maryland, Mr.. L.
H. Nichols, Local Manager of the
Company gave out the following
statement:
Our advertisement headed The
Telephone Situation In MARYLAND -
is the first of a number of similar
announcements which we expect to
make in the press. We are now be-
fore the Public Service Commission
with an application for certain rate
increases. throughout this state, and
our idea is that it is only fair, to the
public and to ourselves, that we
should present the salient facts of
Our case to the public through the
columns of the newspapers.
We simply want to make clear our
reasons for asking the Public Ser
vice Commission for a revision of
telephone rates; and the outstand-
ing reason is, of course, the fact
that in 1919 We did not even earn
enough to pay our operating expens-
eS and interest charges.
We are confronted with great de-
mands for service from a plant more
OF 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 a high stand
ard and expand our plant to meet
the growth if the communities we
serve. 1t cannot be done, however,
II We are to continue operations
under the handicap of insufficient
revenues.
The materials We need have been
scarce and expensive, and the cost
of labor has steadily been goinb up.
We cannot do as private industry
might-arbitrarily raise our rates
OF suspend Operations until the
times become more nearly normal.
Therefore, We are going to the prop
Ell authority, the Public Service Com
mission of Maryland, with our petI-
tion for relief.
All of the facts and figures are be-
laid before the Commission and the
public may rest assured that it will
make thorough Investigation. AS
a further effort to give proper pub
licity to the facts in the case, we
have decided to use the advertising
columns of the newspapers. Until
the matter is decided we ask that
the public suspend judgment as to
the reasonableness of our request.
