City Ahead OF Others Its
Size in This Par
tiCuIar
REDUCE EXTENSION RATES

Probably nowhere in the United
States has city as large as Whining
ton as many telephones as there are
IN operation here. In fact great
many places with populations greatly
in excess Of this city are far behind
us in the matter Of telephone COM
munication.
1t is roughly estimated that there
are at least from 11.OOO 10 1900 phones
In Wilmington, great majority Of
which have been installed within re-
cent years
Telephone communication can. in
consequence, bet had to any par
OF the city and Fortunately, competi-
tion has made the service cheap. so
that where's once, only the wealthy
could afford the luxury of "a phone an
ordinary mechanic Gan now have the
service az little cost
Soon Outlivod Its Use.
Not so long ago the Delaware and
Atlantic Telegraph and Telephone
Company put up a building at Sixth
and Shipley streets, which at that time
seemed would meet the demands on IL
for space for years to come. Now an
addition Is being erected. which win
be- when completed. much larger than
the original structure. This shows
plainly what great strides have been
made along this line OF business.
Automatic a Favorite.
The new automatic telephone sys-
tenn of the Wilmington. Light. Power
and Telephone Company, has also
grown with amazing rapidity since the
concern absorbed the Dclmarlva Tcle-
phone Company. This new system was
installed at great expense and as
the automatic" Is a general favorte.
the stockholders Of the company anti
sipate an ample return for their invest
ment
Considering the fact that the census
made recently by the Water Depart
mcnt showed that there were about
10000 buildings IN Wilmington, the
number of phones In proportion is
greatly in excess of any other city I'm
the United States OF course in many
office buildings there are a large num-
her Of telephones, but it would be safe
to say that there is now in Whining
ton one phone to every ten houses
This is a splendid showing, but still
the telephone companies are putting in
phones every day and the average is
steadily climbing higher
on August the Delaware and At
lantic telegraph and Telephone Com
pany viii cut the price of extensions
In business houses from Si2 10 Sc n
year There viii be no reduction made
for residences. 1t is expected that a
result Of the reduction win be that
most business houses win use two ex-
tension sets instead OF one and their
bills for service viii remain the same
