■ Capital.

The tax budget and ordinance for the year X919 was finally passed st Tuesday's meeting of the Board Freeholders. The total to be raised by taxes wss reduced by 12,000. even though additional appropriations amounting to $760 were made. The deae In the total waa due to receipt of Interest of nearly $3,000 on money held in bank awaiting the completion of the Corson's Inlet bridge contract. The Increases made were $260 to the Vocations! Schools and $600 to the contingent fund. \ These increases were made at the Im-tance of Superintendent Hand, of the County schools, who staled that more money than the original $2,600 appropriated for Vocational Schools was absolutely needed, and that It was mandatory upon the Board, under the law. to grant the Tull amount asked

for which was $8260.

The fact that Lewis S. Smith, who has the contract of feeding the prisoners in the County Jail, waa picking a nice plum from the county each mom!, was unearthed. Under the original agreement with Smith, the County agreed to pay him 60 cents per day for the feeding of each prisoner, with a minimum proviso of ten prisoners, or $6 per day. For some months past the County Jail has been practically empty, but as regularly as clock work Smith drew his $6 per day, which amounted to from $180 to $186 per month. On motion of Freeholder Young, action on this was deferred until next meeting, with the request that each Freeholder think of some plsn for an arrangement less expensive to the County. Director Rutherford announced the following committee appointments for

the year:

Rates

New Telephone Toll Effective January 21, 1919

(Announced December 18, 1918, by Postmaster General, Washington, D. C.) New schedules of rates for telephone toll calls (to pointa outside the local service area) under which all toll call* throughout the United States are placed on a uniform basis, became effective 12:01 a. m, Japuary 21, 1919. Under these new schedules the “station to station” rate is the base rate upon which all rates for the varioofi shfifien of service offered, are computed. This rate is determined by the air line distance'between toll points and is computed, for the initial period, on the basis of 6c for each 6 miles op to 24 miles and 5c for each 8 miles beyond that distance. For toll calls where the calling party does not specify a particular person to be reacned at the .called telephone, “station to station” rates are charged. For toll calls where the railing party does specify a particular person to be reached at the called telephone and the connection is established and conversation held with that person, “person to person” rates are charged. As this service requires a greater amount of operating effort, the rate for such calls is about orte-fourth greater than the “station to station” rate. The minimum ’ rate is 20c.

Toll calls involving an appointment to talk at a specified time, or involving the use of messenger service to secure attendance of a designated person at a public telephone at a distant point may be made at rates usually about one-half greater than the “station to station” rate, plus the cost of messenger service. The minimum rate for such calls is 26c./ For all toll fHg other than those made on the “station to station” basis, where connection is established but the conversation is not held because the calling or called party is not present or will not talk, a “report charge” is made, equivalent to about one-fourth of the “station to station” rate. The minimum “report charge” is 10c; maximum (2.00. No “report charge” is made if the call is completed before midnight of the day it is placed. Night rates, applying only to ™H* made on a “station to station” basis, are quoted between 8:80 p. m. and 4:30 a. m. The rate between 8:30 p. m. and 12 midnight is about one-half the “station to station” day rate, and between 12 midnight, and 4:30 a. m. about one-fourth the “station to station” day rate. The minimum night rate is 26c. . “Station to station” calls must be made as far as possible by giving the telephone number of the called telephone. When the number is not known and telephone directory information is not available the number should be obtained from “Information,” or if the called telephone is at a distant point, the name and address of the called subscriber snould be given to the Toll Operator, stating that it is a "station to station” call. t v The “station to station” rates are substantially lower than the “person to person” rates. In order that patrons may effect the greatest economy in their charges ,for toll service, and also maximum speed of connect!jns, they are urged to study their toll service requirements and to make the widest possible use of “station to station” calls.
