TOLLS ON NEARBY
PHONES NAY END
Company Studies Plan to
Give County Residents Full
City Type of Service.

A plan for breaking down the barrier
of State lines and giving telephone users
/ in nearby Maryland and Virginia a
metropolitan service" free OF toll
charges on calls into the District is
under consideration by the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co.
Details have not been completed, but
officials of the telephone company dis
closed today they expect to announce
the plan within a short time. The ar
rangement being studied, it was said,
contemplates the introduction in adj
jacent Maryland and Virginia commune
ties of an unlimited telephone service
to Washington at basic rate slightly
higher than the unlimited rate in the
District.
Cost Due TO Long Lines.
The increased charge, according to
officials, will be necessary because of
the cost of many miles of wire and
service in an area which does not have
he density of population of washington.
The geographical boundaries OF the
proposed metropolitan service have

they are expected to follow closely the
so-calied metropolitan area of the Dis
INTERSECTIONS in which a toll charge
of 5 cents is made for calling into the
District or vice versa.
The plan has been under considera-
ton for several months, and engineers
OF the telephone company have made
surveys showing the number of sub
scribers that would be affected, together
with the additional facilities necessary
for its introduction.
Commission Hears of Plan.
officials of the company also have
discussed the plan with members of the
Public Utilities Commission, who, it is
understood, are prepared to approve any
plan which would improve service and
at the same time afford reduced rate
to Washington telephone subscribers on
calls made into nearby Maryland and
Virginia. The commission has no juris-
diction over rates in Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
c. T. Clagett, assistant to the general
manager OF the telephone company, de-
clared in connection with the posSi-
bility of the metropolitan service" that
the company lis giving very careful
consideration to this matter and expects
TO have plan to submit in a short
