TELL OF FIRES
CURIOUS PUBLIC MUST TRoT TO
BLAZE TO GET INFORMAL
TON THEY WANT.

Where's the fire7" cries the bystand-
err as the fire truck goes whirling past.
Wait minute, I'll ask central" says
his partner, and he runs and grabs
phone. In hundred different places the
same question is asked and the same
routine gone through and within few
minutes the entire switchboard at the
telephone office Is ablaze with lights,
and the service is crippled for quite
while.
The Iowa Telephone Co. has pleaded
for thoughtfulness on the part OF the
public but faces the same obstacles
that officials do In keeping the crowd
back At nights when there is but a
small force of operators on duty 1t Is
sometimes impossible for them to take
the calls answer foolish question and
give the public efficient service. During
the war crisis it Is essential that the
service be maintained as nearly perfect
as possible Sick calls and other I'M
portant calls are many times delayed
on account OF the people asking about
fires.
At the local office no information is
given in regard to fires. But one oper-
ator receives the call and as it is
against the rules Of the company to
give information to the excited public
about fires now, do not swamp the tel
ephones with curious calls and menace
the safety of the city and the people.
