Since May ], 1918, the number OF tele.

the telephone has also greatly in
creased. the average number of daily

on November II last. when the de-

number being 650s000.

about 90 per cent OF the telephone
wire in the Capital City Is in under
2rnund cables. There are 260 trench
miles of conduit, 5000 manholes and
more than $4,000 miles of wire here.
Another way of illustrating the de

 Andrew Bouffard. prefect of the Charente 1nferieure department, and Andre Hesse, member of the cham Ter of deputies and former cabinet minister, boarded the liner to present the respects and we'll wishes Of the French government. Lady Chamber lain received the callers and ex- pressed her husbands regret at hts inability to see them.

 East Berlin Items
 An unusually small attendance featured the Fire district meeting last evening at Comm unity hall. It , was proposed to lay a two mill tax. the purpose being the extension of the lighting system along the flats to Berlin. Many East Berlinites use the two mile stretch daily preferring to walk rather than use the branch road calling for . 26 cent fare to New Britain. There is no lighting on the flats. A committee was appoint ed to confer with the Berlin district to ascertain whether that district would extend the lights for the other half of the distance along the flats 50 that the thoroughfare would be lighted its entire length. The report on the above proposals will be sub mitted at the annual meeting in De- cember for action.

 Announcement by the state high way official will be gratifying to hundreds of taxpayers who live in the immediate vicinity and north of the point where the streets int.rsect. For the past two years the matter has been brought at various times to the attention of the city council and the public works department, with no apparent result until Mayor w.
