Tm HNHE
ONONY US. RISING COST
HE great problem Of the telephone
business in the past few years has been to
meet the increased costs of the things involved
in furnishing telephone service without CORE
spending increase in charges for service
The increase in the cost of most of these things
varies from IS to 100 per cent.
O, A notable instance is the Company's
taxes, which have advanced from 1886, 900 in
1919 to about S. 100000 at the present time.
Based the tax per telephone this means an
increase of over IS per cent.
gu, In order to meet these increased
costs new methods have been adopted, labor
saving devices introduced, waste eliminated,
closer supervision and more effective training
have been inaugurated and individual efficiency
has been stimulated
al, AS a result of these accomplish
ments, we have now a more permanent force
working more efficiently than ever before. AS
an example, in 1919 we had one employee for
every 40 telephones; we have one employee
FOR every 10 telephones. While there has been
So per cent increase in the number of tele-
phones, the number of employees has increased
only 20 per cent
C, ALTHOUGH the cost of the things that
go into giving telephone service is more
than rs per cent higher than formerly the
improvements and economies have effected
have made it possible for us thus far to furnish
service at approximately rs per cent above our
pre-war charges
O, And with the moderate increases
now under consideration, the increase in the
cost of telephone service to the users will still be
far below the general advance in living costs.

NEW TRACK SYSTEM
 AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Coach Depot Divided Candidates
 Into Various Squads

The track season at the New Brit
 ain high school has opened. A prac
 tice session was Fheld at the schoo
 gymnasium last Tuehday and another
 Will be held on Friday afternoon. The
 boys will go into training immediate
 ly. Coach Depot will try a new system
 of coaching at the school. He will
 divide all the new candidates into
 squads, and will put veteran in 1 charge of each squad. These boys will 1 be drilled on the fundamental prin-
 eipals of track by the older boys be-
 fore the coach will take charge of the
 more promising candidates. Some Of
 the veterans who will take charge Of squads arc Quigley, Clark, Phalon, Laeara, Finklestein, Schenck and Bell. These are the principal voter. hns left from last year.
 From present indications the squad is better fixed in field events than in the dashes and long runs. In the high jump there are Bell, Clark, Taylor, football star who averages about five feet five. Conlon, Schenck, Waters and Walker. In the broad jump Bell seems to be the only good man avail able. Bell Is also one Of the leading shot pdtters. Walker, Gierochowski and McCue are also out for positions. In the 100 yard dash Phalon, Finkle- stein, Smith, Mclieon and Lacava are tho leading candidates. The candi- dates for the 220 are Skelley, I.acaya, MeCuc and Fitzsimmons. Acting Cap tain Quiglcy is about the only candi- date for the 40 yard run.
 A new plan may be in vogue at the school for the first time in its history. Athletes at the school will get the op- to try out for both track ! and baseball. The track meets will be in the morning and the baseball games will be in the afternoon. The | boys will be obliged 10 give only one afternoon and evening week 10 rack. The rest of the time will be siren to baseball. This will strength- 'n both teams materially since there Ire several good track prospects on he baseball team, and several good rack men who might be useful in baseball. Among the veterans on tho ,aseball team who would be useful o track arc Henry Zehrcr, half mile; Iohn Grip. dashes; Harold Beagle, ienry Taylor, Haber and Neipp. who ould be used in the high jump.
