1t all comes under the heading
"good news for the people of Rock
ville."
In letter to Walter L. Funder-
bunk, president of the Rockville
Chamber of Commerce, H. C. Ran
som, manager for the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. in the
Rockville area, declares that al
though a large majority of the
telephone subscribers in Rockville
and vicinity agreed to accept a
moderate increase in telephone
rates in order to defray a portion
of the expense entailed in replacing
the magnetic type of telephone
equipment with the common bat
terry system, the company intends
to defer introducing the higher
rates as long as possible and not
until it is found, after exhausting
all other means of obtaining addi-
tional revenue, absolutely neces-
sary to adjust the Rockville rates.
Agitation for installation of the
more modern type Of telephone
equipment here was inau2qrated
by the Rockville Chamber Of Com
merce, and the organization, 1t is
stated, co-operated in every way
with the change. In that connection
