Iune The exchange Is being lnSIdl-
led to take care Of the rapidly
Growing community and the lncreas-
ed demand for telephone service. The |
telephone service in the past has |
heen given through the Lewes eN- |
change and owing to the fact that |
there are only a Few wires IN oper-
alton, the result was considerable |
congestion and consequently poor |
service under the circumstances. |
The installation Of this service VIII
not only mean much to the RehoDoth
Eeople but also to almost every town
in the State whose residents sum
upr at that resort. 1t is estimated
nat the population of RehObo'h
Reach this summer at its heighth
will be between eigh- and ten thous-
and people, already 1t is feared that
there will not be. enough hotels and
boarding houses to take care OF the
boarders. Very few cottages for rent
can he found now, bu- that situation
* being a little relieved by the large
number of new ones which are be-
ing erected. 1t Is estimated that
there will be at least $50 more cot
-tages on Rehoboth Beach completed
nv August 1st than there was at that
time last season, counting six per-
sons to the cottage this addition
would only take care of 900 more
people.
