Defects in the Telephone Service.

MR.. HOPKINS UPON THE SUBJECT.
Editor Sdr:-In your editorial last evening
about the telephone difficulty you make per-
tinent point, viz: That the telephone service
here is not as good as In some other large
cities. Oh account of the fact that too many
subscribers are placed upon each wire, thus
ocCasiOning too great uncertainty in the in
slant availability Of the instruments. About
this matter you are, as.usual, sound. The COM
pany starting without experience has made
several OF the ordinary mistakes CT other com
paDieS, among which are:
LIST. An under estimate OF the cost Of con-
ductiDg the business on large scale;
%. An over estimate OF the number OF sub.
scIiCers suitable for wire to give satisfactory
service; ard
Sd. An omisson from original calculations of a
large number OF Incidents OF the business de-
yeioped by experience, and more Or less affect
Ing both the cost OF service and its quality.
But the company has been steadily endeavor-
Ing to correct all miscalculationS and arrive at
system that viii at once pay fair profit ana
furnish satisfactory service. 1t has changed
its Instruments, putting aside the first fmper-
feet ones and added improvements under the Old
rates, and also reduced the number OF sub
scrlbefS per WiIe, from an average of eight to
present average OF four and a small fraction.
1t must make sJin further Improvements to
Keep pace with the advance OF the art, and ii
must still further reduce the average NUMBER
OF subscribers per wire, IN order TO satisfy both
itstlf and the subscribers.
These Two things were material elements In
the consideration Of the advanced rates re-
Gently established, and am glad THE STAR
has called attention edttorially to the diff
Culty OF having too many subscribers On a line.
This difficulty, as above stated, has been grad
ually reduced about fifty per cent, and l am
assured VIII be still further reduced as promptly
as consistent with reasonable economy and
with receipts from the business to warrant 1t.
We ought TO have at the capital. and | believe
we Will soon have, as efficient and desirable q
telephone service as can be found in the coun-
try, and that IL Will then be patrOniZed liDer-
Epf1mnlnjntDplV a Tair bv
