Telephone for the Coroner.

THE LeVyss--Oourt should give the
coroner telephone, " said a man on Ship
ley street this morning ''The cost
would be nominal, and the convenience
great, not only to him but to the public
at large Even you newspaper men
would find it to be of great convenience
in your work. Yon could call him up at
any and all times and fnd out whether
be had any news for you. Now, when
any person wants the coroner he must
call up person living near by and re-
quest him to tell the coroner to come to
the phone. This makes him mendicant.
If the Levy Court commissioners would
cut some of the bills passed to their
proper proportion their would be enough
money left to get not only phone bur
also q suitable office for the coroner. 2
