AS for the tax on telephone messages,
G. B. Smith, District Manager of the
Delaware & Atlantic Telegraph & Tele-
phone company, tells how the Della
ware & Atlantic Telegraph & Tele-
phone company have prepared to col
Iect the tax as directed by the Govern
ment.
"The preparations for the collection
Of the one cent tax on ell messages OF
Is cents or over has been a big job for
the Telephone company" said Mr..
Smith. IA special piece Of mechanism
had to be devised and placed on many
coin box telephones. This meant
changing thousands of coin box tele-
phones In the system, a tremendous
job in itself. The tax of one cent Is to
be inserted as directed by the operator,
10 the quarter slot Of the coin box by
the person who sends the message.
Especial preparations for billing reg
ular subscribers correctly for the tax
imposed on their messages Of Is cents
aud over, also had to be made. New
collection routines had to be prepared
and new systems of accounting worked
out. The Telephone company has ad-
vised all telephone users of the new
law aud the methods put into effect
for collecting the tax. Notices giving
full directions have been placed on all
public telephones. AND all subscribers
have been advised by means of a cir
cuiar enclos: ID with their monthly
bills. This circular explains the
method of making the charge for the
tax, aud gives a digest of the law re-
lating TO 1t.
"The law applies not only to all
messages on which the rate Is Is cents
or more per message, but also to all
messages on which the total charge,
including overtime, amounts to 10 cents
or more. Thus. while a single call at
the rate of S cents bears no tax, should
the conversation be prolonged I've a
period which would make the ag-
gregated charge Is cents or more, the
tax of | cent is imposed.
"Ali telephone bills rendered during
the life of this law will include a toll
service statement that will show those
messages on which the tax is to be
levied, together with the amount OF
such tax.
"The law directs that this tax shall
be collected from the person paying for
such message or conversation, and
places the responsibility for collec-
ton upon the Telephone company"

Board OF Education Meets

The Wildwood Board of Education
met in the Holly Beach school house
on Wednesday evening with Messrs.
HARRISON, Harris, Ober, Anderson pres
emf. President Dowler occupied the
chair while Secretary VIM. Todd re-
corded the minutes. The minutes of
the last meeting were read and APP
proved while several members of the
board enjoyed the casual remarks Of
'joy ride" meaning the tour of inspec-
ton which the board took last week
visiting school houses. DR.. Adams.
medical inspector of the Holly Beach
school, reported nine children suffering
from vermin and he sent them home.
DR.. Tomlin, medical inspector of the
Wild wood school, reported four pupils
suffering from colds and that the sani-
tary and hygienic conditions were ex-
cellent. The next action by the board
was the passing of a motion to instruct
the clerk to deduct the expense Of the
substitute furnished MI. Myers from
mis- salary in order that no additional
ex pense would occur. Lannlng Myers
asked that a light
be placed In his Office at the wildwood
school and that suitable heat be sup
piled In the lunch room and type
writing In the Wildwood school.
These two things were referred to the
repair committee. Mr. Chalmers re-
ported hat he still held the prize mon-
ey for the school gardens, as the
names of the winners had been lost.
The board passed q motion authorizing
Mr.. Chalmers to pay for the fertilizer
used In the gardens with the money.
Mr. Chalmers asked that school close
December % and reopen January 4th,
1915, In order that some of the teachers
could get home for Christmas, as Mics
Hogan and Miss Eldredge had asked
when school would close. 3
The board passed a motion to close
on hat date and al-oto discount anote
at the Union Bank on December 23d
for $250O.00 to pay the teachers, but
not until 1t had been questioned by
MI. HARRISON who said the schools
should not be run by the teachers and
he could see no reason why the schools
should close two days before Christmas
to accommodate q few teachers. Mr..
Anderson, however, said as the time
would be made up by them he would
make the motion and he did and 1t
passed. The bills were next in order
and the clerk was instructed to discount
a note for $4,000. 90 at the Union Bank
and include a bill for 5000 for two
automobiles hired from Herschel Tay-
lor and Walter Craythorn for the FAM
Gus joy ride and one for $38. As for ex-
penses by s. T. Dowler. Following
this came a bill for 1922. rs from Arthur
Ely on the wildwood colored school
and n from Lynn Boyer for $500. 90

Every Line Costs Money
Paterson Press

Paterson Press *
Everyline of printed matter in a news
paper costs its publisher something. II
1t is to benefit some Individual, that In
dividual should pay something for 1t.
One would not go into a grocery store
to ask the proprietor to hand out ten
pounds Of sugar for Dothing, even
though the grocer may be a personal
friend and even though the gift may
not be a large one. III the beneficiary
Of advertising does not pay for 1t the
proprietor must shoulder the cost.
People do not seem to understand that
a newspaper pays its expenses by rent
ing space and that 1t Is just as much
entitled to collect rem for every day
that space is occupied as a landlord is
for the house he rents to a tenant. One
reason why the big metropolitan news
papers pay so is because they have got
the cost Of production to a scientific
basis. The New York papers figure
that each line of reading matter costs
from seven to ten cents to produce.
With this as a basis it is easy TO work
out the actual producing cost Of any
reading notice. The wear and tear OF
type, insurance, salaries, rent, interest,
etc, are included In this estimated cost
Of seven to ten cents.
