EXPLAINS Phone
increase
Base Charge" Only on
Subscribers Within Smile
Exchange Limit
NO DISCRIMINATION
UNDER NEW PLAN

Speculation as TO the increased
rates for telephone service in Della
ware. outside OF Wilmington, which
win be put into effect on December
1. was set at rest today by =. p. Bardo,
general manager Of the Diamond State
Telephone Company.
The present rural line rate. OF what
is known as the mHiti-party rate, Is
a so ilat for all exchanges, except
Wimington and Holly Oak. This rate
would be raised, under the proposed
plans. 10 S2 -, as a basic rate for all
exchanges except Wilmington, Holly
Oak. Delmar. Sharptown, Selbyville
and Westville. For the last four
places named, the base rate will be
81 The Wilmington and Holly Oak
rate will be SO, providing sanction Is
given by the Public Utilities Commits
sion, which has control OF the rates
within the city.
The base rate applies 10 all sub
scribers within two miles OF the base
rate area. The base rate area COM
prlses The corporate limits OF The
city or town in which the telephone
exchango is located. or a radius 0f one
mile where the corporate lin T. or a
city or town do not extend hat FAR
This practically means in the case
OF all exchanges outside or Whining
ton that the mulli-paty subscribers
located within three miles Of the cen
tral base rate oflico will pay the
base rate only. Those located beyond
the three mile radius will pay an adj
ditional charge OF % cents a month
for each two miles.
There are two reasons for such
changes, Mr.. Bardo said, First, the
company has always charted mileage
beyond the base rate for each quarter
mile or fraction for Individual, two
party and four party subscribers To-
Gated two miles from the base rate
pays 20 cents a month FOR each quar-
ter mile or $50 a month In addition
10 the base rate This constitutes
mone or less OF a discr' mination
which the company Is desirious OF
correcting
The second reason is that the ex.
pense OF maintaining communication
for subscribers at a distance from
the central Oi1lce increased naturally
In accordance with the distance, both
for maintenance and an1investment by
the company. Furthermore, the sub
scribcr at a distance from the cenlra
Office, u Is held, gets service OF much
greater value than the subscriber N
The central community.
In support or tne increase IN rates
Mr.. Bardo pointed TO the fact tina
there had been no reward In the form
OF dividends To the stockholders O
the Diamond State Telephone Com
pany for the past twelve years. III
short" he said. "the OWNERS Of IN
system. who provide the service ha,
had nothing. The new rates. he con
tinued. will provide a return. an'
at a fair rate only, on the none,
they have invested In the business.
It Is The hope Of the telephone com
pany officials that decision will b
reached by the Public Utilities Com
mission in time 10 make a uniform in
crease in rates both in Wilmington
and oulside,on December 1. The com
mission has set November 40 for
hearing on the application OF IN
company for the proposed lncreas
within the city.

Owner MAY
MOVELIQUOR
Proviso Included That Pur-
chase Was Made Before
Volstead Act
TRANSPORTATION
is DEFINED

WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. o.
Liquor lawfully acquired for personal
use Is immune from seizure by Fed
eral prohibition agents, even though
II Is stored some place outside tht
home OF the owner. The United States
Supreme Court held so yesterday I'm a
suit appealed from New York Federal
courts.
The decision does not affect the
constltutl0nalily OF the Volstead act
In any way 10 dsagrees with the
Internal Revenue Bureaus interpre-
tation OF the act, but the fact that the
court held that liquor TO be immune
from seizure must be lawfully ac-
.quired, which means that II must have
been acquired before the passage Of
the Nolstead act and the fact that
the liquor must be for personal use
showed that the decision will create
no great breach in prohibition en-
foroement
The decision was made in the case
or William G.. Street against She Lin
coin safe Deposit Company. Mr.. Street
had liquor stored In one Of the COM
panys vaults and sued 10 stop rev.
enue agents from selling II. Revenue
agents threatened to do so II he took
II from The vault TO his home on the
ground that 10 was being Transported
Lower courts ruled against Mr.. Street.
The Supreme Court held that II was
not the intent OF Congress To provide
for seizure Of liquor lawfully ac-
qulred and that the taking of the
liquor from the vault TO Mr.. Streets
home would not be transportation
within the meaning OF the Nostead
act. Justice Clarke read this decision,
which was The one concurred in by a
majority OF the court.
Associate Justice McReynolds. while
agreeing in the result Of the decision,
disagreed with The reasoning by which
| the result was reached. He held
| that Congress did intend that the
Nolstead act should make unlawful
storage OF liquor outside the home
and It's later transportation to the
home, and declared the Nolstead LAW
in that respect was unlawful.
While ofilclals and lawyers hesi-
tated TO give an offhand opinion OF
the results OF the courts decision,
they failed to see where they would
be very far reaching.

Interest Of the audience was held

from beginning TO end.
Though the play present but ten
characters upon the stage, the bulk
OF the acting falls upon six perform
ers. Each has an interesting role and
leaves nothing undone to contribute 10
the success OF the performance. The
scene for the greater part is laid in a
fashionable home in New Jersey.

PLAN TO SELL GAS
. PLANT TO CITY
Valuation Absurd, In Opinion
of Business Men; Plan Will
Die Ab0rning; Voters Will
Sn0U 1t Urder If AlI0lued
to Vote.

Public condemnation of an alleged
funct Imperial Valley Gas Company
on the city at an exorbitant price Of
$4,000 was heard frequently in the
street today.
Members of the city council this
morning expressed themselves as be-
ing personally opposed to the plan.
Some felt that the voters should be
given a chance to decide.
The fact that w. F. Holt purchased
The plant for approximately $4,000
several weeks ago, it is under
stood that he has since disposed of
numerous saleable parts, and now
would sell the city the plant for $45,-
900, was the cause of general unfavor-
abel comment.
Others referred to his statement of
several weeks ago that it could be re-
paired for $4,000 and compared it
with the engineers report of $54,-
900.
The additional fact that w. F..
Holt's engineer made the valuation
and will be given the job of super
vising the new construction work if
the bonds were voted caused many
voters to view the whole transaction
with suspicion.
Engineer James Berkeley set the
valuation as follows:
Original cost of works and extern
tions, $11S,461.
Present deprecated value, $S2,059.
Cost to duplicate at present prices,
S200,443.
Advises city to buy at $45,OO0, OF as
much less as barter with w. F. Holt
will bring about.
Mr.. Berkeley also reported that it
would cost about $4,000 to repair the
plant, put in new mains and extern
Sions, and give Ell Centre a plant suf-
Aficient to accommodate the growth of
the town for the next ten years.
1t would then require bond issue
of 100000 to properly provide Ell
Centre with uas
