A LONG-sUFFERING COMMUNITY.
How Fort Worth's Telephone Service Can and
Should be Improved.

How Fort Worth's Telephone Service Can and
Should be Improved.
To the Gazette.
It was certainly refreshing to every
subscriber in this city to read the short
editorial on the condition of the tele-
phone service in this city in TIE GAZETTE
of yesterday, and it is to be hoped that a
discussion of this question will continue
until a very marked improvement IN the
service Is secured.
Phe service is simply execrable, and
we doubt If any other city in the country
would have endured it as long as we
have.
In the first place the instruments are
ancient and poor, and are evidently the
refuse of larger cities, where better and
more improved ones have been put in.
We are led to this conclusion by the
fact that the instruments requiring tho
pressure OF a button at the same tiAFe
the crank is turned were in use nsthe
Northern cities and were taken out years
ago.
We are informed that the switch board
in the central office is of an old pattern
and slow in operation.
The failure to use numbers in calling
for connections and the bad practice of
ringing back when a subscriber is called
Tetards the service. The company could
remedy these defects by furnishing
their patrons with new lists and posting
the rule in large letters in regard to
answering calls near each instrument.
These things have been accomplished in
other cities and there is no reason why
they cannot be here.
The operators are by no means as at
tentive as they should be and it is Hot-aA
uncommon thing for a subscriber to Be
compelled to ring for central three and
four times before an answer is received5
and then, far too often, by carelessn es
the wrong parties are connected.
This condition of affairs calls for g
radical and immediate change, and IN
less steps are taken at once in this direc-
ton, subscribers should act in concert to
demand it Small interior towns III the
North have service UNNECESSARILY supe-
/ rior to ours, and there Is no excuse for
the cgla fssen of things in this city.

capital win be used in perfectiug the
service both OF theeEas and electric light
