SERVICE SOUGHT
Kensington C. of C. Submits
Three Proposals to
Company.
BY a stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY a Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
KENSINGTON, Md, June 13.-Tele-
phone company officials are considering
three proposals by citizens Of Kensing-
ton for improvement Of service through
out this area, it was learned today.
Representatives of the Kensington
Chamber of Commerce recently con-
ferred with Charles T. Clagett, general
manager of the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co., and other officers of the
company and urged changes in the
Kensington rate and service. The dele
CATION was led by Hosmer Hartshorn,
chairman of a special committee to
handle the matter, and included George
@. Shinn of Capitol View and Richard
H. Akers, mayor of Garrett Park.
Would Stop Toll Charge.
Their first proposal was that the s.
cent toll charge between Kensington
and other county exchanges be revoked.
They pointed out that the majority of
the calls made by residents of Kerfsing-
ton and the vicinity are to other county
exchanges and are the cause of the
large bills received in many cases. It
was suggested that a general suburban
area, free Of toll, be created for all
users of the service in the section Of
the county near Washington.
The second proposal was that city
service, now enjoyed by the Bethesda
and silver Spring areas, be extended to
Kensington. This would permit calls
to and from Washington and the Brad
ley and Silver Spring exchanges with
out extra charge. City service was
made available in Bradley and Silver
Spring q week ago. During the dis
cussion Of the change a number Of
Kensington citizens vigorously protested
the exclusion Of Kensington from the
favored area.
Also Seek New Equipment.
The third change proposed by the
chamber representatives was that the
"antiquated" switchboard equipment Of
the Kensington exchange be replaced
by modern apparatus. and that the
grinder" type Of telephone instrument
used here be retired from service.
Mr.. Clagett told the delegation that
the telephone company would take their
suggestions under consideration. He
said no definite promise could be made
at this time, however.
He pointed out that the KenSington
exchange does not show a profit over
operating expenses. and for this reason
the telephone company Is 1oath to make
a large expenditure of money here.

The Silver Spring and Bradley ex-
changes on the other hand, he said, are
profitable.
He said that a reason for the failure
Of the Kensington exchange to pay
dividends is that any community more
than miles from the central office
should pay a 10-cent toll charge, while
Kensington Is more than 10 miles away
yet pays only scent charge.
Mileage Charges Protested.
Mr. Akers presented a complaint to
the telephone company officials which
wos local TO Garrett Park. At present
that community is not within the base
rate zone of the Kensington exchange
but is compelled 10 pay mileage
charges. He urged that these mileage
charges be discontinued.
Following the conference Mr.. Hart
skorn said Mr.. Clagett appeared to view
fayorably the granting Of this request.
