DECISION ON PHONE
RATE CUT: TODAY
Company Wants Unlimited
Residence Scale Reduced
from $3.50 to SIS.

Decision, on the request of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, to reduce unlimited resi-
dence service from $3.50 to IS a
month, will be rendered this morn
ing BY the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
A public hearing on the COM
pany's request was held yesterday
at the District building w. B.
Clarkson. general commercial super
intendent for the company. pointed
out that the popularity of the two
party message is tending to Impair
seriously the quality of local tele-
phone service. and further added
that the reduction requested will
take 5000 a year from earnings.
He told the commission the COM
pany had decided that the best way
to divert the present popularity of
the two-party line is to decrease
the monthly cost of unlimited resi-.
dence service.
William Mex. Clayton. represent
ing the Federation of Citizens AS
sociation, declared he had no in
tention of opposing the telephone
company's request but asked the
commission to consider carefully
whether or not the limited user will
be fairly treated if the entire re-
duction goes to the unlimited class.
