HOW THE TELEPHONE FIRST
CAME INTO CECIL COUNTY !.

The following interesting bit OF
telephone history is from the Cecil
Star, of North East, and was written
by George o. Carey, editor OF the
Star and one of the promoters OF
the pioneer telephone line mention
in the sketch:
Some forty-odd years ago eight
citizens of this county, Charles b..
Finley, John S. Rossel, G. s. WOOL
ey, j. H. Steele, Chas. G. Caldwell,
III. H. Haines, S. z. Rowland and
Geo. D. Carey, came together in the
town of North East, in The Cecil
Star office and planned the organic
cation that built the first telephone
line in Cecil County, extending from
Bohemia River to Conowingo.
These men were pioneers, and paid
che customary price for being such.
as everyone was ultimately loser
of all he had put in the enterprise.
Fhe Zine they built was exclusively
in that day OF local use, as there
was no telephone line connections
with any place outside of the
county.
AS a matter of local historic in
terest the first stretch of wire erect
ed in this county for demonstrative
purposes, was strung from Mitchell's
drug store, in Elkton, to the office OF
the Clerk of the Court in the court
house, and the first telephone con-
versations in the county were sue
cesfully carried on over this line.
The new organization sold stock to
other citizens of the county, all OF
whom were eventual losers OF their
investments. The cause OF the i'm
ancial loss to the original promoters
was one OF those freaks of fate that
so often follow in the wake Of orig
NAL enterprises. The first telephone
promoters were acting under what
was known as the Drawbaugh inven-
tion, which was antagonized by the
Bell interests, that eventually won
out thru the courts and put all the
Drawbaugh phones out OF commits
sion; and wrecked all local organi-
cations, the one in Cecil County go
ing down with the rest. The Bell
people game on the stage OF action,
and reaped the rewards that seem
lngly should have gone TO the orig
na'ors of the io"al enterprise.

TO DETERMINE COST OF
POWER PROJECT

Costs of the proposed power de
velopment on the Susquehanns
river, near Conowingo, previous to
expenditures for actual construction
will be determined by accountants
of the Public Service Commissions OF
Maryland and Pennsylvania and the
Federal Water Power Commission.
At meeting of the accountants
in Baltimore, a plan of procedure to
establish this preconstruction cost
was outlined. Investments by the
Susquehanna Power Company in
land and rights since 1910 are
recorded in the files of the Maryland
Public Service Commission.
Difficulty in establishing the cost of
the project, officials say, is in deter
mining investments prior to the crea-
tion of the commission in 1910.
An investigation of the costs prior to
1910 will be undertaken by the
accountants of the State commissions
and submitted to accountants of the
Federal commission for approval
and coordination, it was decided.
The accountants who attended the
meeting were William b. King and
N. B. Keeler, of the Federal commits
sion; B. F. Morgal and Carl H. Nc
Kenzie, of the Pennsylvania COM
mission, and William S. Kemp and
Frank ]. Harper, OF the Maryland
commission. The accountants will
meet from time to time in the
future. Final reports on the under
taking will not be submitted before
the issuance of licenses for construc-
tion, it was said.
Engineers OF the Philadelphia
Electric Company, the Philadelphia
Rapid. Transit Company, which has
protested the power project, and the
Pennsylvania commission v 81 t e
Conowingo to check on engineering
data in the power company's offlces
there. The commission engineers
are working to complete the Penn
sylvania record and to facilitate the
hearing of final arguments in the
case.
In letter to the Maryland and
Pennsylvania commissions Harrison
D. Panton, engineer OF Raleigh, N.
c., expressed his views as an en-
sineer acting in the public interest.
He declared the Conowingo project
is uneconomic and offered figures
and data practically similar to EVIL
dence submitted to the Pennsyl-
vania commission by the Phlladel-
phia Rapid Transit Company sew
eral weeks ago.

DWELLING ENDANGERED BY
FIRE

The dwelling of John l.. Stephens,
near town, narrowly escaped de-
struction by fire on Thursday night
last. 1t is thought SCOT in the big
stone chimney caught fire and burn
ed possibly all night Fire was dis
covered between the ceiling of the
kitchen and the floor OF the room
above about half past five Friday
morning, when the family arose, and
call was sent. to the Community
Fire Company sfor assistance. The
big fire truck was hurried to the
scene and after emptying the 80 gal
lon chemical tank the engine was
taken to nearby stream and a
line of hose laid.
In the meantime the chemical
truck also reached the scene and
the stubborn fire was finally con-
quered without the pumper going
into action.
An investigation revealed the fact
that the fire must have smouldered
for hours, as quantity Of wood
stored in the disused fireplace had
been completely burned up and a
large hole had been burned clear
through the kitchen ceiling and the
floor of the second story room, a
stand upon which was a quantity OF
canned fruit having been burned,
some of, the canned goods falling
through the hole into the room
below.
That the fire had merely smoul-
dered and not blazed was due to the
fact that the dwelling is Of stone
and that all doors and windows OF
the two rooms were tightly closed.
