long lines of army rolling stock are arriving and departing aster re- ps rs.

A machine shop is being get. up there, and a plant for the repair and testing of precision instruments such as telescopes and range-find- ers, A room that is absolutely dust- proof forms a Dart of the instru- ment department.

With a war on and time flying. ordnance in this district has ex- panded vastly‘ in the last few months. Its eiidquartcrs used to bc Hallfaxh old gun wharf, WLth its century-old buildings, but it has overiflowed from that, and it is still overflowing.

One of the ancient wharf bulld- ings houses the machine shop now. but the quarters are growing cramped. The carpenter shop ls on the wharf now too. but it also ls to move shortly,

Still in operation on the wharf is a venerable smithy. its czbbled floor deeply indented by the foot-

steps of around 135 years. In this link with the past, smiths were pounding out metal for use on

modern equipment, hot from the forges that sow duty more than s century ago.

Another branch of ordnance-mal- vage cf clothing-operates here. Wo- men sort out uniforms that have been turned in, stri them o1 metal and stack what is eft for eventual sale. Ordnance throws nothing away unless it is valueless.

Discusses new §GIIBIIIIIE of {phone rates

"Now that we have schedule of rates approved by the Public Util- ities Board of Prince Edward Is. land which will enable us to pro. vide service under conditions that are more or less on a par with the other provinces of Canada and the States of the Union. we anticipate being able to provide many im- provements from the public stand- point." said Mr. A. M. MacKay, Halifax, general commercial man. nger of the Maritime Telegraph and Telephone Company. in an in- terview yesterday. Mr. MacKay is accompanying the general man-

el‘. Mr. W. A. Winfield, on a ss visit here.

The new rates approved by the

Re“ i Utilities Board for the Island bel-

ephone service go into effect next month, he explained. One result will be a faster and probably more satisfactory. long distance service than has been provided before. Another advantage will be with regard to extension of night ser- vice and services effective all clay Sundays and statutory holidays. Long distance 7 p. m. station-to. station calls are being introduced at rates considerably lower than the standard pcrson-to-person Ohllfi. which the company anticl- pates can be. used to great advant- age. Also in the general schedule of rates tlicrc are many reductions in so-called nuisance charges, such as those for extension stations. hand sets. installations, etc. Under the new arrangement. the ordinary subscriber will not have to sign a contract for twelve months service. He can agree to accept telephone service for one month at the same proportionate
