DESIRES A TELEPHONE SERVICE.
The Civil Service Commission Hamper
cred in Its Work.

The civil service commission Is desirous
of having established in the commission
building telephone service, which, it is
claimed. is greatly needed. 1t is doubtful if
any department in the administration is
called up more often than the civil service
commission. At present there is only one
telephone connected with the central sta
ton. When a member of the commission,
the chief examiner, the secretary or any
one of the numerous working force of the
commission IS called by telephone or is de-
sirous of talking outside the building he
must leave his room and go to this tele-
phone. This causes endless inconvenience
The commission is hopeful that the proper
authority will see the Importance of estab-
fishing an exchange In the building which
