new Phone TOLLS
IN EFFECT TODAY
Delaware Rates Unchanged
Under Federal Control
Schedule
LOWER CHARGES FOR
CALLS DURING NIGHT

New phone rates that went into ef.
feet at midnight do not make any ma
terial change in rhe tolls between VIII
mington and points throughout rural
Delaware. The Delaware rates already
had been established on the airline
distance basis before. Postmaster-Gen-
eral Burleson ordered the new rates
into effect.
Throughout the country the greatest
changes came in the long distance rates.
This is because OF the new charges fo-
particular person" and appointment
or messenger service calls. In a list
OF thirty representative long distance
points compiled yesterday by the Bell
the Telephone Company there Is a slight
reduction in many instances from the
old rates on what will be termed "sta-
tiOn-tO-statiOn" calls Under the new
ruling Of the Postmaster General.
A "statiOn-tO-siatl0n" call Is one
in which the person calling asks only
for the number OF the telephone at the
point he IS calling. A particular per-
son" call Is one in which the person
10 whom the subscriber desires 10 speak
Is gotten on the telephone for the sub
scriber, and before the time OF the call
begins. An appointment or messenger
service" call Is one IN which the sub
scriber desires to talk to a specified
person at a specified hour, or when
the person TO whom the subscriber de-
sires 10 talk must be sent for by mes
senger. In the latter case, an additional
.fsa L. a.. ~ ~
over and above the rate quoted by the
telephone company. Special rates are
made for might calls" These are di-
vlded into two classes-thOse from $50
p. m. 10 midnight, and those from mid
night to 4.3O a. m.
A change is made in particular per
son" as applied 10 toll calls. Under the
old rates no such calls were allowed for |
five, ten and fifteen cents, the first be-
Ing the twenty-cent call. Under the
old rates no charge was made for par-I
1culsr person calls.
Under the new regulations such calls /
are allowed where the rate is fifteen |
cents or more. There Is an extra
charge on all such calls Of approximate
" % per cent. based on the station
Io-statlonn rate, with a minimum OF |
twenty cents for such calls.
The new night rates apply only to
'station-to-station" calls. Other calls
viii cost the same at night as during
he day.
The night rate from $50 p. m. TO
is about one-hslf the station
o-station" day rate From midnight to
I.30 a. m, II Is about one-fourth the
station-to-station' day charge.
The new schedule makes no change
n the rates for local telephone ser
ice or for yearly rentals.

POWDER NOT
REQUIRED TO MOVE

For several days there have been re-
ports among employees Of the Carney's
Point plant, Of the dupont Company.
to the effect that after this week no
person not living at Carney's Point or
Pennsgrove would be employed in the
plant there. such an order would
cause hundreds Of Wilmingtonians now
employed at Carneys Point either 10
move across the river and take up
their residence at the powder village
or give up their jobs.
When representatives OF the dupont
Company We're asked today about the
report, which has been disturbing
their employees, they denied that such
an order had been issued or would be
issued. While the company prefers It's
employees to live at Carney's Point or
nearby. there is no rule requiring them
to do so. Men in the clerical depart
ment are required to live at Carney's
Point or Pennsgrove, however.
The Wilmington-Pennsgrove ferry
service was held up for awhile this
morning, along with other river traff1c,
because Of the dense fog.

DEATH RATE IS.
ON THE INCREASE

Although officials OF the Board OF
Health stated today that no calls had
been made on them as yet for physi-
clans from influenza patients, 1t was
said that nurses are needed daily in
some OF the homes where the disease
prevails. That the local death toll
from the disease is on the increase is
evident by the number Of burial per-
mits being issued at the Health office.
These show that since last Saturday
fourteen persons have died Of influenza
or lobar pneumonia. This does not in
clude those who died from broncho-
pneumonia or other forms OF that dis
ease.
The health records last week showed
eleven deaths from influenza.

STATE HOUSE, Dover, Del, Jan. FL
Representative McNabb, Of Wilmington,
introduced a bill In the House today,
providing for large representation
from Wilmington in both branches Of
the Legislature. The bill, which pro-
poses an amendment TO the Constitu-
ton, requires favorable action by two
biennial sessions, 10 make It effective.
Mr.. McNabb thinks that Wilmington,
with about half the population Of the
entire State, should at least have as
large a representation in the General
Assembly as the separate counties.
Under the bill the number Of Repre-
sentatives in Wilmington would be in
creased from five TO 10 and the num-
Der Of Senator'S from two TO five. This
would be the same representation that
Rural New Castle, Kent and Sussex
counties now have and would make the
total membership Of the House i0 and
Of the Senate 20.
The amendment provides that two
instead Of one representative be elected
from each representative district In
Wilmington as follows:
No All the Second and Fourth
wards and all that part OF the Sixth
and Eighth wards lying south OF and
bounded by the central line OF Eighth
street.
No. 2-AH the lNinth ward and-thOso|
