have learned that the lists sent out
last week by the Hunterdon county
authorities did not contain the names
and numbers of the first sixteen
men listed from Lambertville. which
may change the order of calling
somewhat. However, if a mans
name is not in the full list, nor in
the supplementary list given here

called within year, at least, is very
remote. The missing names were

It is actually more work for telephone operator to
report that line is busy than to complete the connection
Just before the operator plugs in to the Jack
terminal of the line you calling she touches the tip of
the cord to its edge. If the line is in she hears
buzzng sound which informs her of that fact and she
reports accordingly to you. Bear in mind too that the
"busy report does not always that the telephone
you calling is in use-some other party" the line
may be talking.
Busy men have busy telephones 1t is unavoidable
