and gave impetus to plan for even
better facilities to the islands.
These "better" facilities are now
being installed in the form Of radio
telephone system designed for every
day use to the mainland and for
connection with the two islands.
Briefly this IN how the system will
work. Several public telephones will
be installed at strategic places on
Tangier and Smith. A call to the
mainland merely involves picking up
receiver and signaling the operator
at the Crisfield central Office switch
board where control Of the system is
to be conferred. Equally simple will
be call from Tangier to Smith or
Smith to Tangier. As there will be
no direct circuit connecting the island,
this type of call will also be handled
by the Crisfield operator.
For REORGANIZATION between in
habitants of Tangier and Smith
Islands, telephone engineers have
equipped each telephone with . key
switch. This will be operated by the
telephone user who switches it one
way for a call over the radiotelephone
system and another way for commune
cation with . person on the same
island.
Or each Of the islands there will be
constructed two 65-foot radio antenna
poles together with associated radio
and power equipment located in two
small radio huts. Outside Of Crisfield
the telephone companies will construct
three poles to carry the equipment
needed on the mainland. Additional
equipment will be installed in the
Crisfeld central office. It is esti-
mated that the total cost Of the
project will be approximately $50, 900.
Telephone officials emphasize that
a communication system such as that
planned for Tangier and Smith Islands
cannot be constructed over night. It
is hoped the system will be in opera
ton for use this winter, but even If it
isn't, the Tangiermen and Smithmen
will have their portable radiotelephone
set-up with which to maintain contact
between the islands and the mainland,
and they will be secure in the knowl-
edge that in future winters the svs-
tenn now being installed will serve as
an effective defense weapon against
all the forces old man winter has to
throw against them.

Arlington Reports 5000
Delinquent on Taxes

Arlington County Commissioner OF
Revenue Harry K. Green yesterday
reported approximately 5000 Ar
lingtonians have failed to file tax
returns by the June l deadline.
The revenue Office said it was
sending out notices to delinquent
taxpayers informing them they will
be assessed on tangible personal
property and referred to the ex-
aminer of records for further in
yestigation.
Mr.. Green attributed a great num-
Der of the delinquents to the influx
of newcomers to the county who,
not having lived in Virginia for six
months of 1910, have the erroneous
impression they are not required to
make a return.
The commissioner explained that
while the penalty for failure to make
a return cannot be relieved, tax
payers still have an opportunity tc
save themselves from arbitrary as
sesSments.

The average midshipman today is
a little older and rather better

this is the raising of the age limit
