I feel compelled to call the attention
of subscribers to an evil which Is as
sumIrr considerable proportions and Is
the cause of a great deal of inconvenience
to the subscribers, and consequent COM
plant from them.
At many stations we find Il is the GUS
tom Of Young clerks and occasionally non
subscriber visitors to enter into lengthy
conversations over the phone, to the
great disadvantage of the service.
Often a business phone Is called for
as many as a dozen times while one con-
versation is going on. OF course IL Is I'M
possible for the operators to disconnect
during such lengthy conversations, and
others who wish TO use the phone during
that time must be put off.
Sometimes a phone is used Tor an
hour or more at one time, and upon COM
plant and investigation we have ascer-
tained that the parties using II WerD
young clerks and their lady friends
We call the attention of our patrons to
this evil, particularly physicians, as they
are frequently called on the most urgent
business. but their phones being in use
for as much as ten or fifteen minutes at
a time, other physicians have to be called.
IT is in the power of our subscribers to
protect their own interests, while at the
same time they benefit the general ser
vice. Very respectfully.
