have enforced these rules In enc OF
two cases, am called impudent In
the extreme, and non accommodating.
The service has recently been rebuilt
at an expense 10 the Co. Of some three
hundred dollars, and no pains or ex-
pense has been spared 10 make the
service first class In every respect, and
the subscribers are double what
they were when / took the manage

Exchange bids fair to be one Of the
leading Exchanges Of the State. IL

manager when they are satisfied that
he Is performing his duty and render

not satisfied that / was not doing
my duty by them, 1 should have
heard from them 70 that effect long
before this, and 1 feel that the col.
umns Of the Herald have not only
done me aan injustice hut those thst
are In my employ and under the ser
vice 10 the subscribers; and while the
He1 aid has no interest 10 the service,
Il troubles itself exceedingly In pro-
claiming 10 the citizens what poor ser
viceis being rendered, and shOwering
abuse upon the management, and OF
which we do not care to hear more Of,
and desire that the editor become q
little better posted In the telephone
service before he again makes such
broad assertions. ! asked him 70
point out TO me the Subscribers who
had made and were making cOntinu-
Gus complaints. After receiving the
names, / visited the gents, whs most
emphatically denied having made any
statement to him In regard 70 the SER
vice, and were willing 10 be among
the first % sign q petition In cOntradie-
ton OF the statements that had been
made, and for my retention As Man
ager Of the Telephone Exchange II It
