FROM THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

In the write-up Of the fire on Third
street published in last weeks paper
we mentioned that there seemed to
be some little difficulty on the part OF
the neighbors who discovered the fire
to get central" This was just as il
was told us the next morning when
visiting the scene. and it was given
only as a news item. This paper was
blaming no one. If we had seen any
blame to attach to anyone, We would
have done it in plain words. We were
merely giving as news the talk of the
neighbors.
That the operator may have the
public's attention, as we'll as ourselves,
We publish The following communica.
ton:
May 81, 1917.
To the Editor of The Register:
| wish you to correct the statement
made in last weeks paper in regard
to the Johnson fire. You say, Owing
to the difficulty in getting Central the
neighbors could not give the alarm. !
answered Mr.. Johnson the minute he
gave the alarm and I could not get the
Power Plant TO answer. Did not get
them at all but called a man at Police
Headquarters and he gave the alarm.
At the same time a good many were
calling but | could not answer all, as |
was busy giving the alarm to the Fire
Department and Chief.
1t isn't right that you give the pub
lie the opinion that the telephone op-
orators are to blame or such things
when we do our best.

The only hotel in White Lake quit
business last week. The town never
has had a suitable building for the
purpose since the Baker house a couple

been that nobody put up at a hotel" in
White Lake unless forced to do so,
and a score or more have tried the
