The Chicago Tribune tells of the es-
tablishing and recent opening Of a nu-
nicipal telephone system in Tunbridge
Wells, England, as follows; 1.-THE OBJ
servauce marked the climax Of efforts
which we're begun five years ago by
the authorities Of Tunbridge Wells for
better and cheaper telephone service,
and, although there were but $40 sub
scIibers at the start, that was twice
the number Of the old company, and
the new enterprise expects large re-
cruits 10 the near future, The mu-
niclpal service covers an area of 900
square miles, with population Of
70 600, and includes forty.six villages,
which are thus for the lirst time
brought into telephone communication
with each other. The equipment Is Of
the best, and the charge Is $50 for un-
limited service, The old company in
ts efforts to cripple its rival has re-
duced its charge from $40 to $40, The
municipal system was constructed un'
der the direction Of Mr., A. II. Bennett,
superintendent of the municipal tele-
phone system Of Glasgow.
