 Within the next year new office
 and exchange building will be con-
 structed in this city by the Southern
 New England Telephone Co, it IS
 believed. The company has been
 contemplating such a move for sev-
 eral years, according to Phillip J. Ranney, exchange manager at the local headquarters of the firm. For seven years the company has owned
 property on Main street, between the Cameo theater and Bristol Press
 Publishing Go. buildings. This land NeI originally obtained in anticipa- ton of the erection of a new ex- change here which has been de- layed, it is thought, as a result of business conditions.
 Dwelling houses situated on the telephone concerns property have been occupied since it's Purchase seven years ago. Removal of their occupants to other sections. has caused the officials of the company to con.ider tearing them down in preparation for the construction of q ne exchange office Manager Ran ney stated this morning that the :. deferred building of the office now has been scheduled for January. 1892. Previously it was promised for July of this year, but was reschedul- l ed for January, 1881.
 Manager Ranney said that he did . not know whether or not a dial svs- tenn would be introduced with the advent of the exchange building. This system, used in other cities of the state. obliterates the need of operators excepting on toll line calls It IS automatic in control, the de- sired number being acquired by turn ing numbered dial.
