It is our responsibility to make our service avail
able to everyone who wants it.
This we have done Anywhere in Delaware,
you can have telephone service, and you can
have it promptly.
But Delaware keeps growing in every way.
The number of families keeps growing. Industry
keeps growing.
So we must keep growing too. Whenever and
wherever people need more telephones, it is our
public obligation to expand.
We have spent s1s million in expansion
Our expansion bill over the last three years has
been $19 million. In those years, we have built
five new telephone buildings and made major
additions to 10 more We have also made major
additions to the equipment Of every central office
in Delaware. We have added 2O38OO miles of
wire and increased the number of telephones
by 36,O94
During this year and the four to follow, we
estimate that $50 million more will be required

for more buildings and building additions
more central Office equipment, more wire and
cables and telephones-to continue to match
telephone growth with Delaware's growth.
Our growth means employment and
good wages for Delaware people
AS a growing company, we providing
steady work at good wages for more and more
men and women in the telephone business itself.
In addition, our growth puts money into the
pockets of bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers,
plumbers and people in many other trades who
are employed by our contractors and supplers.
These things mean that, as our growth con-
tinues, more people will have more money to
spend for homes and automobiles, food and en-
tertainment, clothing and furniture, all the
products and services sold by local businesses,
throughout Delaware.
Directly and indirectly, telephone people and
the telephone company contribute to the eco
nomic well-being of almost everyone in Delaware.

Fairfax Driver
SeriousIyHurt
In Train Crash

A Fairfax motorist was in
jured seriously yesterday when
his car was hit by Southern
Railway freight train at an I'M
guarded Alexandria crossing.
The motorist, Henry M. Hill,
%, of Route 6, Alexandria, which
is in Fairfax County, was adj
mitted to Alexandria Hospital.
His kidney was removed in an
emergency operation.
Requested Signals
The crash occurred at 4:30
pm. at the South Van Dorm
street crossing of the main
Southern Railway line near the
Alexandria city limits. For
some time Alexandria and the
Franconia Citizens Association
have been trying to get warn
ing devices installed at the
crossing.
The engineer, Charles Bryant,
lie Prince street, Alexandria,
estimated his train was travelling
40 miles per hour.
Mr.. Bryant told police he
sounded the whistle approx
mately 200 feet before he reached
the crossing. He said he saw
two trucks cross ahead Of the
train from opposite directions,
and then saw the car driven by
Mr.. Hill behind one of the
trucks.
Mr.. Hill, a Fruit Growers
Express Co.. employee. told police
he did not see the train.
Standard Crossing Sign
Kenneth Smith, Alexandria
traffic director. said the city had
been attempting to persuade the
railroad that more adequate
warning devices should be in
stalled at the crossing. The only
protection now is a standard
crossing sign.
About a month ago, Mr.. Smith
said, the Franconia Citizens As
ISOLATION asked the .city's help
In obtaining an automatic signal
device. Mr.. Smith said that un-
der Virginia law, however. it is
necessary to show sufficient traf-
fic volume to require installation
of signal devices.

Sales Tax Unit
Criticized as
OverzeuIous

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 4 (R.-Ad-
ministrators of Maryland's sales
tax law were criticized yesterday
for being jealous.
Representatives of manufac-
turerS complained they were 60
ing to squeeze every penny pos
sible out of it.
Walter F. Kennedy, chief of
the Retail Sales Tax Division,
argued on the other hand that
manufacturers have found q way
to evade the original intent to
tax their tools and like equip
ment.
The manufacturers at least
won a delaying action in the
debate before the Senate Finance
Committee.
Opponents aroused sufficient
doubt in the minds of the FL
nance Committee to have them
schedule another hearing next
Wednesday. The House Ways
and Means Committee will sit in.
A decision has to be made
promptly because it will affect
the budget which Gov. McKeldin
must submit within the next 10
days.
The sales tax people estimate
the State may be liable for SIS
million in refunds to manufac-
tcrers if the Legislature doesn't
spell out that equipment, such as
patterns or dies, which is sold
after being used is subject to the
2 per cent tax.
The State has been collecting
it for the nine years of the sales
tax. But some concerns paid
under protest and early this
month the Court of Appeals ruled
that they did not have to pay it.
