HURT THE
PHONES


The recent electrical storms have
played havoc with the telephone sys-
TENS in the county, for as soon as all
the necessary repairs had been made
another storm came along to undo all
the repair work.
Two hundred telephones Of the Chi
cago Telephone company's system were
reported out of order this morning as
result of the storm last night. o. A
Krinbill the district manager at Ham
mond. said today that it would take
until about next Wednesday to make
all repairs. provided another electri-
cal storm does not add to the troubles
Of the company.
Last Friday there were 500 phones
out of order in the county, but by yes
terday evening all with the exception
of about twenty had been repaired.
Extra gangs have been worked day
and night for the greater part of last
week repairing phones, and by this
morning the system would have been
entirely re-established had it not been
for the storm last night.
Damage by electric storms is un-
avoidable. Fuses are blown out and
wires are burned by the high voltage
produced by stroke of lightning.
Lake county alone has not suffered.
for trouble is reported throughout the
territory where the electrical storms
ragged
