Stating that an efficient telephone
system is one of the most important
assets TO trade and public life the COM
mittee says "it is not pleasant to con-
template" these ratios. 1t recommends
an immediate reduction of 10 per cent.
in toll line charges and cheaper rates
for homes than for business houses.
The telephones here are controlled by
the general post office. The committee
recommends the separation OF the tel
ephone and telegraph departments from
that of mails and the formation OF an
administrative board composed OF the
heads of the departments under the
Postmaster General or Minister of CON-
munications. 1t urges a reorganization
more along commercial lines and also
a division of the country into telephone
areas for healthy competition and
financial comparison"
The committee urges the extension of
public call boxes so as to provide greater
facility for making long distance calls.
which now are so handled that It is
difficult to get calls even in the heart
of London except over ones own tele-
phone. The committee broadly criticizes
the service and points to the need OF
greater efficiency in all departments.
Particularly 1t urges the elimination OF
what is called the very serious CON-
plant of wrong numbers.

ber of telephones in use here Is at the
