PUTTING IN

OF TWO SYSTEMS.
$50 PHONES ARE INSTALLED

Month-orls Doing Best
To Please.

The telephone company is at pres
cnt engaged IN putting in the new
phone service and within the next
two weeks all of the business section
will be connected up. and within the
month the entire service will be in.
At present the force is working un.
der heavy handicap. as two switch
boards and ccntrals have to be run.
The messages are trunk lined from
the new central office to the old and
then connection Is made, and in this
way those who have the new phones
as we'll as those who have the Old
system are getting poor service.
The fact that the public is receiy-
ing any accommodation whatever Is
to the commcndatlon of Manager Ber-
ry and his assistants. for as a rule
telephone companies when making a
change generally cut out the entire
service until all the connections are
made. but Mr.. Berry wants to do the
best that is possible under the cir
cumstances and only asks that the
public bear with him patiently.
At present about $50 new phones
are giving a little trouble until all
the connections are perfected. It is
hard under the existing circumstances
to find where the trouble lies when
any exists.
The poor young girls who are at the
station need to be commended In

case with the public who do not know
what the contention is. They are al
