TO INVESTIGATE
TELEPHONE RATES
Council Will Consider Whether
Return To Pre-War Rates
Is Reasonable Now

District Superintendent Web
Der, this division OF the territory
OF the Cumberland Telephone ano
Telegraph Company, was here
last week, going over the loca
situation with local Manager H
p. Harris. and city officials.
Following the last regular meef
ing of the City Council, it was
stated that the Council had de
cided to reduce telephone rate:
i'll the city of Richmond to a pre-
war basis and that local telephone
subscribers could look forward to
such reduction in the near future
This statement would give tn,
impression that the franchise o.
contract beween the city and tht
telephone company fixes and de
termlnes the pre-War rates to b.
those which must be charged b
the telephone company, but sucI
is not the case.
The contract between the cit
and the telephone company whic.
was entered into in November
;914, fixed the former low rate
only tor two years or until Nov
Eember 5. 1916. and this contrac
between the city and the tele
phone company does not fix an
lehnite rates for the telephc
company to charge after Noven
Der 5. 1916, but instead provide
is follows:
The rates charged by the pur
hasers telephone company du
ng the life of this franchise shal
It all times be reasonable an,
air. the conditions and circum
stances under which the servic.
furnished by said purchaser (teI
cphone company is rendered, be
ing taken into consideration an
to that end after a period of tw,
wears from the date of the con
hrmation OF the sale of this fran
chise. the rates charged by tn,
said purchasers, telephone com
pany) shall be subject to revisio,
from time to time in the follow
ing manner Said City Counci
may adopt a resolution citing sal
purchasers to appear before it. O
said purchasers may file with tn
City Council petition for a re
vision of said rates and charges
In either event, schedule
rates and charges. which shall b.
fair and reasonable under tn
conditions and circumstances a
they may then exist. shall be
adopted and become the le9a
rates to be charged by said pur
chascrs."
The present situation is. there
fore, that the City Council will
during the next sixty days. inves
tigate with the view OF determin-
ing wheher the present rates arc
reasonable. or whether there
shall be d return to the rate
charged before the wartime in
crease was allowed by the Coun-
Gil.

IRISH DEMAND
FULL INDEPENDENCE
Critical Stage Is Reached When
Erin Refuses Status of a
Dominion

London, Aug. 15-Eamon. De
| Valera, leader of the Irish repub-
llcans, has refused to accept the
proposals of the British govern
ment, constituting dominion gov
ernment, and having as their bas-
is the bringing about of peace in
Ireland. He declared that tho
conditions sought to be imposed
! constitute interference in Irish
affairs and control which cannot
be permitted
Cpon the other hand, Mr..
Lloyd George has informed Mr.
De Valera that there can be n1
compromise upon the question ci
the right Of Ireland to secedc
from her allegiance to the King,
The premier tells Mr.. De Valera
that the conditions Of the propos-
ed settlement contain no desire
upon the part OF Great Britain
for British ascendancy over Ire
land or the impairment OF Ire
lands national ideals.
Our proposals present to the
Irish people,, says the premier,
AN opportunity such as never has
dawned i'll their history before.
We have made them in sincere
desire to achieve peace, but be-
yond them, we cannot go.
Mr.. Lloyd-George leaves open
the door for possible further ne
gotiations with De Valera by say
ing that the government will dis
cuss the application Of the prin-
ciples of its offer whenever ac-
ceptance of the principles is COM
municated to him.
Simultaneously with the max
ing public of the correspondence
between Mr.. Lloyd-Gcorge and
Mr.. De Valera. note to the pre-
mier signed by Sir James Craig.
the Ulster leader. was published
This note, after declaring The
loyalty OF the people of Ulster IA
the empire. declared that in the
interest OF peace they consented
to the establishment of parlia-
ment in Northern Ireland and
now are carrying out that part OF
that compact. while the Southern
lriShmcn have chosen to rcpu-
diatc the government OF ireland,
and press Great Britain for wider
powers. 1t adds that to Join i'll
such pressure would be repug-
nant TO the people OF northern
Ireland.
The official records in the Irish
peace negotiations were made
public unexpectedly today They
show seemingly a deadlock. based
or two vital differences between
De Valera and the prcmicr-De
Nalera's renewed insistcnce on
independence and that Ulster
shall be regarded merely as
minor faction of an Irish nation.
The disclosures constitute the
kcencst political sensation since
ithc war. The politicians of both
England and ireland today were
discussing the question whether
the door has been closed on fur
ther negotiations. They seemed
to find in the conciliatory tone OF
the correspondence. however,
ground for hope that some bridge
might yet be built across the
chasm of difference over the ques
ton OF independence. 1t was the
concencus OF opinion that all de-
pends upon the temper of the Dali
