through it any sub patron of the Bell
Telephone company in this or any
other city may be reached.
While of course the telephones are
for the business use of the heads of
the various departments, any shop
man may be reached in a moments
time in the case of an emergency
such as may at any time arise. The
connection of the various buildings in
this way would be of great benefit in
case of fire and it would take hardly
