Record. They are to be found In near
ly all drug stores and similar estab.
llshments In the large cities as well
as the hotel and theater Hobbies, and
in fact, all ch-frequented places.
This applies to the business section
OF the cities to very great degree,
for the reason that suitable places IN
the residential sections for pay sta.
tons are difficult to secure. but It is
the desire of the telephone companies
to offer the most liberal accommoda.
lions Of this character and the prob
lem OF increasing the number of pub
lie stations in the residence portions
OF the cities Is a matter which has
been given some considerable atten
ton.
With this view in end, there IL
about TO be introduced into number
OF the larger cities street corner
telephone service, which will not only
be the means Of affording great ac
commodatlons to the persons living IL
the vicinity, but will also in a great
measure be the means OF breaking
up the practice of annoyance to which
subscribers are subjected from theh
nelghbors using the instruments in
emergencies.
These instruments have been in ex.
perimental use In the city OF Bridge.
port, Conn, for some time. in order
to ascertain their value In practice
and the result was very encouraging.
and as stated above, their use will
be extended at once.
All types of the street installation
are quite inconspicuous. The stations
are all keyless, and upon opening the
door there will be found standard
pay station OF the gravity type, which
means that the operation of the I'm.
strument Is almost automatic. there
being no bells to ring or buttons 10

on the inside of the door and the de

stallatOns are placed on posts like
the hre-alarm boxes in such general
use, and others are simply secured to
telephone or telegraph poles. On some
instances the telephone outfit and mail
box occupy the same post.
1t Is anticipated that In some citIes
there VIII be objection raised to plac-
Ing more OF these posts on the streets
and In such cases 1t is proposed to
permit the use Of the telephone for fire
and police as well as all other emer.
gency uses. Such service will be rem
dered absolutely free, and It is thought
that this arrangement will be readily
entered into by the municipal authorl-
ties of many cities. The protection

will offer will be the means Of win.
