Messages Cost IL Ia Cents Each. and All

The telegraph service Of Great Britain
is undoubtedly quicker. more reliable
and cheaper than that of the United
States. i make this statement after
proper allowance of the differences in
distances. 1t costs 1919 cents for l2
words and cent for every additional
word. This for Great Britain and Ire
land-a uniform rate
1t works admirably, as nearly all the
postoffices are also telegraph Offices As
rule, the people are civil and obliging,
and the delivery of messages more
prompt than with us.
These postoffices, which include, as a
rule, news stands and stationers' shops.
are scattered all over the city, especial
~ in London, and one has no such trou-
BILE in getting postoffice orders, postal
notes, stamps, etc., as is too often the
case in New York.
Another great advantage of the Brit
ish system is that there is no such thing
as sending messages "collect. You can
prepay an answer to telegram, and the

when an answer has been paid for.

uniting money or imposing on q friend

At one of the big city dinners few
weeks ago / sat opposite w. II. Preece,

land. He was greatly interested in the
fact that we counted the population by
the means of electricity, and of course
knew exactly how it was done.
The increase in % years of messages
alone from 6, 500, 900, when three pri-
vate companies controlled the business,
to 20, 600, 900 messages in 1894, tells its
own story. That the number of offices
has increased threefold, now Numbering
8, 600, and the miles of wire have in
creased from GO, 600 to 200, 000-surely
this indicates that the public are we'll

Financially the telegraph department
is today paying expenses, but not the in
terest ON the money invested. 1t is
claimed, however, that the division of
expenses between the postoffice branch
and the telegraph branch was of such
an artificial character that the two serv-
ices should be looked at together finan-
cially. This would show net annual
surplus of from $13, $50, coo to Sl5, 0o0, :
000-a very handsome addition to the
public revenues.
