WRIT IS GRANTED
| ON PHONE RATE CUT
Justice Gordon UphoIds Peti'
tion, Causing Delay of z.
or 3 Months.

The 10 per cent reduction in tele-
phone rates, ordered September Is by
the Public Utilities Commission, will be
held in abeyance for TWO or three
months, until District Supreme Court
can consider the case on its merits.
| Justice Peyton Gordon yesterday
granted a temporary Injunction re-
| straining the commission from enforc-
| ing the cut in rates, in upholding a
! petition of the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co.
The ground for the restraining order
was that the rate reduction would
mean a loss to the company of approx
mately $43 900 month, while the saw
| ing to each consumer would average
but so cents per month. The loss to
! the telephone concern. Justice Gordon
held, would be certain, great and
| irreparable.
The Public Utilities Commission also
| is restrained by the temporary in
| junction from placing into effect its
| order that the telephone company
credit its depreciation reserve with S
| per cent interest per year. The COM
i mission had argued that this order
would have resulted In no loss whatever
to the company.
Case Submitted Last Month.
The two orders of the commission,
prior to the ruling yesterday by the
! court, had been suspended by the COM
mission at the request of Justice
/ Gordon while he studied the case,

THESE long. trying hours Of
cOnvaleScence are considerably
frightened at one hospital here
i now through cooperation of
the Public Library with the
medical institutions WOmen'S board OF
trustees.
A trained librarian twice week visits
the bedside of the patients at the
George Washington University Hos
pital and from her rubber-tired spe-
cially designed bookcart diSpenses en-
tertaining fiction, enlightening non
fiction and the more popular maga-
zines. This service, of course. is with
out cost to the hospital patients.
It was back in November of last year
that negotiations were opened for the
library service at George Washington
University Hospital. Members of the
women's board of trustees of the hos
pital and Dr. George F. Bowerman,
public librarian, together undertook to
initiate the work. Through efforts
of Mrs Gilbert Grosvenor, who, until
recently, was president of the board,
and Mrs. D. K. Shute, chairman of the
Library Committee of the board, that
organization of women turned over $500
to DR.. Bowerman.
Visits Twice a Week.
One month later the patients at the
hospital were receiving their semi
weekly calls from the librarian. DR..
Bowerman, acting for the library, pur-
chased a metal conveyance designed to
display books, titles out. to patients in
bed, and he assigned Miss Jean Young,
trained librarian, to the hospital duty
for the library. And all these expenses
services of the professional librarian
for one year included-were betrayed
out of the initial 5000 appropriation by
the wofilens hospital board.

the issues to be decided are whether
the property of the company is being
confiscated by the commissions orders
which fix the valuation Of the company
at $29, 900, 900 and its allowable rate OF
return on this value at 6 percent.
The company claims value OF $685.
900 900 and the right to earn a return
of not less than per cent.
Given Precedence.
Under the law, appeals from the de-
cisions of the Public Utilities Commits
sion are given precedence over all busi-
ness of the court. William A Roberts
counsel for the commission, said yes
terday he will ask for speedy hearing
as soon as he is able to prepare the
formal answer of the commission to the
Injunction proceedings.
Following the ruling Justice GORDON
fixed the bond required OF the telephone
company at 100000 to indemnify sub
scribers for any loss in the event the
company does not prevail in the nnal
hearing of its contest against the rate
reduction. The figure was arrived at
during a conference between counsel Tor
the company and for the commission In
the chambers Of the Justice.
The way was left open for an increase
in the amount of the bond. should the
hearing be protracted beyond two
months.

Each Monday and Thursday after
noon Miss Young, with her cart at
tractively stocked with books, goes her
rounds between 1870 and pm. She
confers with supervising nurses as to
new patients; whether they might be
disturbed by her call, and If possible,
what their particular fancies are
The recording of books taken by q
patient is as simple as it can be, and
there are neither limits to the number
Of volumes one person may take nor
fines for those kept overtime" A box
is maintained at the hospital in which
departing patients may deposit their IL
brary books as they leave. In short,
there is no library technique" to worry
an unwell person.
446 Volumes in Service.
The number of volumes distributed
by Miss Cole from her little cart has
risen steadily since the Inauguration of
the service. Last December, the first
month of the service, a total of LOG
volumes were circulated 95 in the fic-
ton field and II of the non-fiction va
riety. In September, the last month
for which report is available. the to-
tai has risen to 446. with 258 works of
fiction and 1873 volumes of non-fiction
in circulation.
In planning system by which the
library service could be established for
hospital patients Dr. Bowerman was in
sistent that only a trained librarian
handle the books and their distribution.
So-called volunteer workers. he
feared, would regard the work as a fad
and soon would lose enthusiasm for it.
On the other hand, a professional IL
brarian would not only "be on the Job
regularly" but she would know how to
circulate the volumes wisely and most
efficiently

He walked over to the window

"It's not what | want you to do

to lose himself as his eyes rested

She shook her head.
"Im glad of that; we all make
mistakes, but it's not fair to ex-
pect innocent people to suffer for
them. Besides-you may be quite
wrong, Sondra. When you see him
you may find that things are all
right-I'm not a sentimentalist,
but it seems to me if you cared
enough for him to marry him, you
can't have changed so soon."
She sat silent, her eyes cast
down, her hands tearing at her
handkerchief. She wanted to say
II never cared for him, John"
but she was afraid.
