ting in the cables for phones
in the new additions in the western
part Of the city. They expect to com
plete this work in about two months
For several months the demand for
telephones in this part OF the city has
been heavy and the company has been
unable to supply them, because Of the

switchboards have been installed and
new lines put in during the past year,
the rapid growth Of the city has made
it impossible for the company to keep
up with the new surburban districts,
but 1t hopes to be able to fill all orders
for telephones by the first Of the year.
