is cause for instant dismissal, This IS one Of our sifieiest rules,
 Trouble with changed numbers will always he with us as long as people having party lines move about Owing to the nature of the work Tn yolyed, it is impossible to transfer 100 percent Of the calls without error,
 '.fhe change from a statewide ta a district book is one purely Of economy The saving involved amounts in round figures to between fifty and one hum dred thousands dollars year, With the smaller size Of the book, we are able to give the ioh 10 some conneeh' cut printer which heretofore was im- possible on account of the size of the book, II also makes for more prompt delivery, II enables us to make a more readable type,
 In the face of the advantages In the cost and character of the district hook, the question fairly arises as to what are its disadvantages from the public standpoint If subscriber uses the toll service generally throughout Connecticut he may con. slder it advantageous to have full number Of district books, Thus far. we have gladly. upon request fur- nished such books. Or it may be that T certain subscriber has many calls 10 make to a certain district. We have furnished him upon request with this particular district book. Moreover. the very large majority of our sub- .ss a.A kA mi n ghatr toll service very largely covered by the listings in their own district book. or use toll service Of any kind very infrequently. Finally. all that is re- auircd Of a subscriber under any cir- cumstances, is that upon passing a call for telephone outside the range of his book. that he define 1t a little more clearly than would be necessary if he knew the number in advance. To overcome this small and generally infrequent inconvenience, if 1t can be called that. 1t seems to us to require ap expenditure all out of proportion to the accomplishment. and is incon- sistcnt with our obligation for eco nomical conduct of a public service.
 As to a more frequent issue, l would say that we are. following a policy adopted by every other com pany throughout this country. No other telephone company in the Unit ed States issues quarterly directory. and 95 per cent Of them, including such large centers as New York, Chi cago and Boston make a six month issue in the same manner as this company.

FIRE AT ST. MARY'S
 WAS2I YEARS AGO
Church Destroyed Alter Flames Were Thought to Be Distinguished

Monday. January se, will he the sist anniversary af the burning of hl' Mary's church, This was one nf the most disastrous and destructive hfes in the history of the city and IS re- memhered by many residents,
 The night of January 22, iahs, was rainy, with ice and sleet covering the city. shortly after midnight. the cry of fire rang out and the alarm began to ring. and soon the news had spread that St, Mary's church was on Ire, The fire department responded in short order and discovered blaze m the basement Of the church. After a short time il was thought the hre was eytinguished. the excitement had died down. and the fire companies re- turned to their stations.
 About an hour afterwards, however, the neighborhoed was startled by the sound of a loud explosion coming from .the interior of the church, Sew erai more loud detonations were heard following each other in rapid sie- cession. and soon the entire interior Of the structure was n mass of flames.
 By this time. tho weather had changed. A high wind was blowing and, although the iircmen, aided by many bystanders. strove with hcrcu- lean efforts to get the blaze under control. their work was in vain,
 Tn few hours the church was re- duced to n blackcned mass Of ruins When dawn came thousands viewed the scene. but only tottering walls met their gaze. The destruction Of the church was such hard blow to the pastor. Rev. William A. Hsrty, that 1t was ono of the indirect causes of his death two months later in March.
 Today, on the same site on which old St. Mary's stood. there stands one of the finest examples Of church achitecture in the city. built through the untiring efforts of Rev. John T. Winters, successor to Father Harty. and the support of his parishioners.
