"Our petition makes it clear that
we do not in any way object to
North Carolina cities obtaining the
lower schedule of rates," said the
Virginia attorney today, '"but we desire-to
obtain equal rate reductions
for Virginia, as the scheduled alter
the entire relationship of rates be
tween the two states, and while be

will delay the approval of the com
mission to the North Carolina sched
ules, and may possibly re-open the
whole rate situation.
