DELAY OPENING
OF EXCHANGE
TottenviIle Telephone Office
to Open in Months Time,
Say Officials

TOTTENVILE, Sept. S0-The
opening of the new Tottenville tel
Sphone exchange of the New York
Telephone Company which had
been announced TO take place some
time this summer has again been
postponed according to officials of
the company. The telephone COM
pany purchased a two and a half
story dwelling in Amboy road about
two years ago for the new exchange
and during the early part of this
year five switch boards were In
stalled.
Men have worked from time TO
time in installing the five positions
and a new underground conduit
was built in Amboy road leading
to the new office. Delay IN getting
material is said to be the cause of
the delay in opening the new office.
1t is said that the Office will now be
cpen in about a months time.
For the past several years tele-
phone subscribers in the Tottenville
district which includes the entire
lower section of the Staten Island,
have been served from the Perth
Amboy central Office. This is since
the office was moved from the Leh-
man building in Main street in or
der to give subscribers the service
by the common battery ringing sys-
lem. When the new office Is open
most all of the phone numbers Will
be changed, it is said, to conform
with the new switch boards that
heve been installed.
The cost of the new central office
equipment is estimated to be in the
n~eighborhood of $4,000. The build
Ing will not only house the central
office, but the rooms on the second
Hoor will be used for living quarters
,or the man in charge.

loan funds of the University of Kan
sas helped 100 students through

900 during the past year, according
to Geo. o. Foster, cutodian of the
funds. There are three funds, the
May Stephens Green fund of $4,000,
the James L. Mead fund of $4,000,
and the student loan fund proper,
made up of various donations, and a
mounting at present to $4,000 There

the three funds, and they range from
5000 to $50. The loans bear per
cent interest and the proceeds go
either to the donor toward increas-
