TELEPHONE co.
 ADVANCES RATES Day Charges Will be Made
 on All Toll Line
 Calls Until
 10 p. nj. PLAN TO RELIEVE EVENING TRAFFIC Manager Sykes Says Al formative Has Been Adopt ed After All Else Has Failed.

The Southern New England Tele- phone company has isrued notice that on october 1t will advance from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock p. m, the hour at which night rates will be effective over it's toll lines within Connecticut. The action is taken following a similar one by the American Telephone and Tele- graph company and the object is to overcome the difficulties now experience ed In handling the early evening traf- fic.
 The following statement was issued by General Manager H. H. Sykes last evening:
 By advancing the hour from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock for applying re- duced charge on toll calls to Connecti- cut points, the company hopes to ob- tain more uniform distribution of toll line traffic throughout the day hours and at the same time remove that serious service interference, which has resulted from the over-orowdine u tIle LOil IdCllltlSS uullHS 4tuS cal ly hours.
 Before adopting this change, the company has endeavored to keep ahead of the conditions by providing additional wires, switchboards and operating facilities. The point has finally been reached, however, where a continuation of his policy Is impos- sible, if the company is to maintain the quality of service demanded by those of It's subscribers whose calls must necessarily be placed at night, as against the convenience of those whc purposely delay their toll calls in or der to obtain a reduced charge.
 If it is found that the advance in the hour for the application of the re. duced rate does not prove effective further changes will of course be made, but we feel that in extending to our subscribers the present plan we have made 8 step which will bene- fit the service, and at the same time put no great hardship upon the class of calls which for various reasons have depended upon reduced night charge"
