Increase in Local Telephone Rates Effective May 1, 1919 O N August i, 1918, the Federal Government assumed control of the property and business ot the Delaware & Atlantic Telegraph & Telephone Company, and at the same time, directed the Company management to continue its operations under Government supervision. The Act under which the business was taken over by the United States Government provides that the corporation shall receive only just compensation for the use of its property. This compensation having been fixed by contract, all charges for telephone serv ice now collected belong to the Government. With the increased cost of operations, due in part to the war, the present rates of the Delaware & Atlantic Telegraph Si Telephone Company in New Jersey do not produce revenues sufficient to provide its proper proportion of the compensation, nor, in fact, a reasonable return upon the investment. The situation compels an increase in Telephone revenues. The Company prepared and submitted to the United States Telegraph and Telephone Administration a revised schedule of rates, which, alter careful consideration, was approved by the Federal authoi ities and ordered effective commencing May
