ALTERATION IN CHARGES HOURS OF ATTENDANCE (Pep United Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 27. Telephone regulations which were issued to-night provide that any telephone subscriber shall be liable for any charges payable for inland and overseas toll calls emanating from his telephone, and also for inland and overseas telegrams and radio telegrams telephoned from his home to a telegraph office for transmission. The director-general may, if he thinks fit, demand security for any such possible calls. The additional charge for desk telephones, with hand microphones, is reduced from £1 to 10s. The charges for the removal of telephones to other premises are altered, and a charge is to be made for altering records where no change of the position of a telephone is involved. At exchanges at which the number of paying subscribers exceeds 200, but not 1000, the period of attendance shall be continuous, provided that not less than two-thirds of the residential subscribers express their desire that the attendance at the exchange should be so extended. Alterations in the charges are also made in other cases,
