It is to the credit of the trustees of
the two fdnstitutions, that although
they have decided that the combined
college shall be located at Reading and
pse the plant of Schuylkill college, it
shall bear the name of AMbright, for
Albright is a name which is worthy of
honor and perpetuation not only by the
fivangelical church but by the people
of Pennsylvania
Jacob Albirght, itinerant preacher,
born in Pennsylvania. founded the Ev:
angelical church and was its first bish-
op. The denomination which he entab-
Hehed has spread into various parts of
the world, but it remains especially
strong in Pennsylvania.
The passing of Albright college at

Local telephone calls, it is predicted,
will total close to 5.000000 a day. This
{s an increase of 400,000 over last year.
Out-of-town calls, it is estimated, will
show an increase of 17.000 a day over
the 1927 records. For 1928, these out-
of ‘town calls will total approximately
205.000 each day.
While a large portion of the 182%
expenditures will be used for central
office aquipment, more than a third of
thé total, or approximately $10,000,006
will be used for outside plant. This
includes such dteme ng poles, Cross
Arms, oables. manholes, underground
conduit and other squipment outside of
central offices and outside of subecrib-
er's premises. About $6.000.060 of this
will be spent for new storm proof tel
ophone cabie construction alone. This
incdudes the addition of 374.000 miles
of new wire to the system in this State.
About $2.500.000 will be used for new
bullding construction. This provides
for the erection of several new central
