Regarding The removal OF the central tel
ephone office from the drug store to Water
bury Hotel, we understand it is in conse-
quence of the refusal of Messrs. Evans &
Bryan TO be governed strictly Thy the rules
of the Telephone Company. The Vermont
Telephone and Telegraph Company operate
their wires over certain territory for the use
of the telephone, under lease from the
American. Bell Telephone Company. The
conditions of that lease are compulsory, and
violation of them, strictly speaking, for
feits their lease. One of the conditions
and the one that causes most dissatisfaction
lis that the lessee shall not deliver mes
sages within one-half mile of the receiving
Office 1t requires the party called to come
to the telephone and receive the message
personally. This seems arbitrary, and no
doubt it is; but the local telephone company
is not responsible for it. The American
Bell Telephone Company dictate their own
terms, which, il accepted, should be re-
spected Another office, for the convenience
of the public ON the hill, may be opened, il
arrangements can be made with the right
party to manage it under such rules and
regulatio rs as are obligatory upon the Tel
ephone Company.
