DANIELSON

Just how indispensable the telephone Is
10 the average citizen was demonstrated in
Denielson and other parts of the local df-
vision Monday afternoon, which over 500
stations went out of service as the result
Of water lowing into a manhole in tbs
business section, causing what is known as
cable failure"
Within a few minutes after the water
began to cause one of the most wide
spread cases of trouble lin the history of
the Danielson exchange there was a ter
feet shower of tout of service com
plants registered The operating force
was helpless to aid those cut off from SER
vios by what could be be termed me
chanical trouble, but every effort was ex-
erted to round up a force Of cable workers
ard to set them at the task of restoring the
lines to normal condition in the territory.
The cable crew that responded = the
emergency call worked all night in Inc eff
fort to remedy the difficulty, again dem
oRstrating, as is the invarialble rule with
the company. that it win go to practically
any length to serve the public and keep its
lines working against almost every con-
ceiVable variety Of trouble, most of which
cannot he fOreseen, as the case Monday
afternoon.
No such variety Of truuble as occurred
here Monday afternoon has ever before
bsen experienced in Danielson on such a
scale. Such lines as were not in the sat
ilrated cable continued to function.
Practically all Of the toll line wires re
nlained in working order, so Danielson was
not cut off from the world, though It would
have been necessary in case of a long
distance call for hundreds of subscribers to
have gone either to the central office or
10 some working station to carry on a
conversation

Mcfarland Of the police department that
he is expected by the state motor vehick-
department. to see that number plates or
ears are kept sufficiently clean so that

cars are carrying plates so obscure witt
