Several residents asked T. P. Me Auliffe, exchange manager of the Southern New England Telephone Co.,, at New Britain, at a meeting of the Exchange club recently, just when improvements would be effect cd. MT. McAuliffc explained that the subways will be placed along South Main street when the street is paved, but this will not be done this year, since the board of public works has no appropriation for the work.
 At the present time overhead wires serve Berlin as far as tele- phone service goes. The telephone poles are crowded at the present time and. due to that fact, many Berlin residents dcsirous of having private telephones, are unable to do so.
 Private wires will be installed with the placing of the Subways.
