travellers in Vermont as much as pos

ALDERMEN CRY
"ROTTEN" AT CITY
PHONE SERVICE

The Chicago Telephone, company is
"in bad" with members of the city
council because of poor service. Many
of them joined in a severe criticism
of the service given to the city hall
and council action is threatened
Rotten said Aid James Dorney
of the Oath ward. There is no other
way to describe the service One
would think that the company would
make at least a half-hearted effort to
give a fair service to the municipal
building. However, my experience,
as we'll as that of other members of
the council, is that the company seems
to be trying to give the city hall the
poorest service possible. 1t takes one
full minute or two to get a connec-
ton, and in eight cases out of ten the
wrong number is given. Then it be-
comes almost impossible to get the
operator back on the wire"
Other members of the city council
corroborated the complaint Of Aid.
