which the long-standing dispute be.

SOU I HERN MD.
HITS POWER
RULING

WALDORF. Md, April s.-Sonth'
ern Maryland arose in wrath and
oratory yesterday to protest the re-
cent decision of the Maryland
Public Service Commission allowing
the Consolidated Gas. Electric Light
md Power Company of Baltimore
the right to serve light and power
to Chesapeake Beach and North
Beach In upper Calavert County.
This order resulted in the Subur-
| ban Power Company, which has
projected plans for serving Calvert,
| st. Mary's and Charles Counties
entire, and certain districts of
Prince Georges County, to abandon
all work on such of its lines as were
not nearly complete.
| At the protest meeting held at
the Community Hall here. attended
| by approximately 300 citizens Of
the counties affected, the ruling
of the Public Service Commission
was roundly denounced by various
speakers and committee was
elected to go to Baltimore and ask
rehearing for the purpose Of
having the Public Service Commits
sion rescind its erroneous" ruling.
Committee Named
The committee, to be known as
the Southern Maryland electric
power committee, was named as
follows: James b. Ryan and J. J.
Gehring, from st. Charles county;
r. H. Pembroke and l.. John Can
tor, from st. Mary's county, and
j, B. Gray, jr., and Goodman Web
ster, from Calvert county.
Two representatives from the af-
fected sections of Prince Geor ge
county are yet to be named.
1t was brought out by John Mudd,
attorney by Byrantown, who pre-
sided at the meeting. that the hoard
of commissioners of Calvert county
had refused to issue a franchise to
the Baltimore company. holding
that it would be improper as
they had already granted this priv.
ilege to the Suburban company.
j. M. Price, general manager of
the Suburban company, was present
at the meeting and at the request
of several citizens made talk out
lining the proposals of his COM
pany and giving in some detail an
account OF the work 1t had al
ready accomplished
j. 3. Gray. jr., an attorney of
Calvert county; r. H. Pembroke. of
ST Mary's. and George Gardiner all
spoke in condemnation Of the serv.
ice commissions ruling.
Gray Resolution
The sentiment of the meeting was
crystallized in a resolu IN intro
duced by Mr.. Gray The preamble
of this resolution set forth t griev-
ance of Southern Maryland, pointi
out that an abandonment of the
plans of T. suburban Power Con-
pany would do inestimable de mage
to that section of the State, that
the Baltimore company for years
had refused, to run lines into these
counties and that 1t was not be-
lieved that all factors entering into
the case had been adequately rre-
sented to the Public Service Com
mission when it rendered its deci-
sion.
The resolution then enters a "ve-
hement protest" to the decision and
empowers it's committee to seek a
rehearing and ito take whatever
proper steps they may d .ernline to
be proper AM feasible to assure the
contemplated electrical development
of Southern Maryland territory"

muscles. but do not strengthen them.-on
the contrary the gouging of the ordinary
truss pad often increases this weakness.
as it tends to shut off blood circulation.
