COMMUNICATED.
Frank Y. Day Explains Resolution
 Concerning Telephones.
Kensington, April 10, '15.

hSHSlllS ApIll lV, 10.
 Editor rald:-Reading in the Herald of yesterday the somewhat startling announcement that the reso- lution recently passed at a town meet ing in Berlin relating to the removal or discontinuance of certain telc- phones used by the town officials could be construed to include those used by the schools, l, as one of the notorious ''gum-shoe" conclavc, who happens, also to be one of the com mittec of five who drafted the several resolutions passed at that town meet ing, and also a member of the school committee, think it my duty to ask that you inform your readers as to the facts.
 When that resolution was first pre-. sented to the committee it was in such shape that by hard stretching, it might have been made to include the school telephones. The writer happened to note this, and well knowing the 'gored OK would be looking for moro trouble, made the suggestion that it be changed to it's present form.
 You speak of the elasticity of the resolution. As a matter of fact there is nothing elastic about it. It was not drawn inadvertently. as you state, and can no more be made to include the school teachers than it can any private party. The school telephones are used exclusively, by the teachers, arc accounted for in separte report and, to all intents and purposes, are a separate arrangement. The teach CTS are in no sense town officials" This was thoroughly discussed by the committee, who reached the conclu- sion that anything more explicit would be a waste of words, and that even tho vivid ina gination of some of the town officials" could not soar to the heights to which it seems to have attained as regards the one dol lar per year added to the cost of the phone at the town farm, the commit tee did overlook the fact that there was a cut-ratc on this. but I see no reason why this same cut-rate should not apply to the new order, thus bringing the cost to nine dollars. At any rate there is little to gricvc over for, if I can properly interpret the trend of public opinion, that matter will be satisfactorily adjusted at the next town meeting.
 Respectfully,
 FRANK r. DAY.
