s%cribers, which notice plainly states
that the company prohibits the borrow
ing or free use OF the telephone by
other parties than the subscriber. 1t
states that non-subscribe1s are supposed
to use the public pay stations, of which
there are three In the city, and not both
er and trouble their neighbors. The
telephone of the subscriber is for his
own use and not for the use of every
body living IN the block. So many sub
scribers have complained to the manage

company to take action to protect their
subscribers. This new rule or regula-
ton also applies to subscribers on the
