FULL PHONE RATE
INCREASES DENIED
New Virginia Schedule Only
Partially Met and Company
Win Appeal.

By the Associated Press
RICHMOND. Va. July 3l.--An or
der was entered tonight by the state
Corporation Commission denying the
new rate schedule petition by the Ches-
apeake and Potomac Telephone Co.,
filed more than a year ago, but grant
ing snecific increase which will net the
company about one fourth OF the addf-
tional revenue reduested.
Increases were granted on residential
phones only in a few places that here
tofore have had preferential rates I'M
der franchise provisions. individuai
business phones are increased 80 cents
per month By the order, and two and
four nartv phones are increased 20
cents per month in Richmond, Norfolk
and Portsmouth.
Increase About S20O.00O Yearly.
Complete details Of the order were
not made public today, but II was said
that the specific increases granted will
a aggregate about $500, 900 year. The
announcement that the commission
was prepared 10 enter the final order
came lust two hours prior to the time
limit fixed by law. The opinion which
must accompany the final order has
not been drafted, although Commits
sionar Lewis Epes is expected to hand
down his opinion some time next week.
About ane-faurth OF the business
phones proposed increase was granted.
The increase on residential phones and
the remaining three-fourths of the
business phones was denied.
Under the law the telephone COM
pany is privileged TO set aside the
commission decision and install the
higher rates set forth In the petition
under bond. II IS expected that this
course will he followed.
A. r.. Berry, president of the Chesa.
peake and Potomac Telephone Co, late
tonight issued an official statement
shortly after the State Corporation
Commission had denied the company's
petition for full increases in telephone
rates. In which he declared that an
appeal would be made to the State
Supreme Court.
Called Plainly Inadequate.
1--WE have just received the order of
the State Corporation Commission,
the president said. The amount of
increase granted is plainly inadequate.
1t amounts to something more than
one.auarter of what we asked for and
what the evidence before the commits
s,ion clearly showed we We're entitled
to. We therefore feel in justice to the
company that there is no choice but to
take an appeal to the Supreme Court
of the State"
Mr.. Berry declared that the pro-
cedure under which the company was
to take its appeal and begin charging
It's rates under bond was described in
detail In the State constitution and
asserted that "the provisions are fair,
both to the public and the company"
Telephone subscribers. he said,
will he assured of a refund il the
rates charged are not finally sustain,
ed. and II they are sustained, the com.
pany will simply have collected only
that to which the court saysfit is just.

The Game Code
Amendment Got
Big Vote Here

Very few of the counties reported
the vote on the amendments to the
state capitol or to either of the par
tvs headquarters in Phoenix, so it is
not known what fate any of them met.
The referendum for repeal of the
present state game code went over
big in this county, receiving, exclu-
sive of Lees Ferry precinct, 1913
"yes" votes and only Ala against.
Probably several of the other coun-
ties will return majorities for it; but
with the strong opposition in Mari
copa county, where the vote it is re-
ported was three to one against it,
it may have been lost. The hard and
intelligent work done by Flagstaff
Game Protective association, headed
by Tom Mccullough, is largely re-
sponsible for the big vote 302 got
here, and helped lot in the votes it
got in other sections of the state.
Proposed amendment No. 101 ap-
parently went across big in this coun-
ty, though there has been no tabula-
tion made thus far on the votes. This
would limit tenure of state office to
two terms.
