Tbe magazine discusses tiie use of the iiublic teiephoue iis follows:
" "The fearful unlversiility of thf telepljone,' ns Arnold BiTinett ciilled It. is oue of the surprises wnich foreicn ers meet when they flrst come to this country. They cull .Vmerlcans tb«' 'slaves of the telephofio,' nnd cannot understand until they have been bere awhile why Americans are not satis fled with telephones In tlieir residences, stores, and offices, and must uewls have them plnced at their elliows for the least occiisbjiml use, not only iu public places, but everywhere.
MAINTAINING TELEPHONE SERVICE.
The nverajie person as he enjoys the conveniences of tbe telephone inob ably does not realize tbe liard.-;lii|iM often endured by tliose wlio.se duty it is to maiutaiu the service.
A striktuB e.\auiple of tlie telephone man's loyalty and devotion to bis worl* despite hardship is given in tbe .New York Telephone Review, as follows:
"On February 15, I'Jl-l, one of tlie highest tides on record aloiis tbe waterfront of New York, accompanied by a very beavy southeast wind aud blizzard, carrieti in au luiuiensi! tloe of ice across tbe meadows througli wliich the (at that »lme» open wire telepiione pole iine ran from Sbeepsliead ISay to Barren Isbiiui. The wind shifted at mid niglit to a heavy ncH'thwest wind and. with the fulling tide, carried out not only tlie Ice which bad come in, but all the ice sheets which had been lying ou the meadow through tbe winter up to this time. Where the ice was tliick I)oies were carried ont, cribbing pulled up and broken off, and crossarms, wires and all plant taken out to the open scu on the ice. Where tbe ice was thinner it was cut through by the poles, which were merely tipped over at angles of 30 degrees to 45 degrees.
"The meadows are entirely cut up by creeks aud are in reality only large bogs and(» swamps. Tlie creeks nre treacherous, being tordable only at low tide, and even then pocketed witb quicksand and slime. At high tide the meadows fVeiiuently are completely covered with water to a deiith of fropi 'y one to two feet, uud what nre ditches at low tide become Impassable creeks .It high tide.
. "The telepbune men were on this re¬ pair iob from the fore part of March to the last of April, and it can truthfully be said that their greatest desire was to complete the job in as short a time as possible. Not n man in tbe gang escajied stepping into bo,e holes and .sinking ill t^e mud any¬ where from his hips to his arm pits. One man was lost two hours from the gang and was discovered standing in Cedar Creole iu (luicksand up to his waist with the rising tide up to his nnn pits, Just alile to cry feebly for heljt.
"Early in Mnrch the men suffered severely from tbe low temi»ernture and heavy damp winds: absolutely no shel¬ ter was available through most of the line.
"These men performed their task un¬ der the most trying conditions. Their only boast is nn occasional 'You ought to've been to Barren Island.'"
HANGING UP THE TELEPHONE RECEIVER.
Most teleiihone users have doubtless experienced the annoying bang in the ear caused by the party at the other end of the line hanging up his receiver htirriedly after he has flnished talking It is unintentional on the part of the person who hangs up in probably every case, but. nevertheless, is not condu¬ cive to the goodteniper of the person who receives the sound.
A writer in tbe New York Telephone Review suggests that a large part of this annoyance can be eliminated if the receiver book is pressed down before placing the receiver on IL His ide." seems to be a practical one and if car¬ ried ont b.y telepbone users will aid in making telephone conversations cour¬ teous at all times.
MILLIONS • FOR NEW BELI, TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT.
As n city or town grows, so does Its telephone (Icvclnpment grow. In other words, the telepbone coinpiiny must continually look nliead and be prepared to servo the public- a(le(|Uately by hav¬ ing the proper eipii|)nient always av.-ill able. Se\<'riil illustrations of this riollcy of building for tlie future api>ear in the .New Yoil< Telepli(.)iie iteview.
In the Borough of Manhattan, New- York City, the Madl.son Sgunre and Chelsea districts have grown telephon- Ically to such an extent tlmt n new cen tral ollice is recpilred, which will be ready for .service in the fail of 191.'). It will be l«nown ns "Farragut" and pro vide relief for the Madison Square and Chelsea districts for about three .venrs. riie cost is estimated at nearly $270,000 The telerthone growth In Tbe Bkon.'t ne cessltates n new building to house a new central ottlce to be known as "In tervale." It will be located at tbe cornet of West Farms Road and Hoe Avenue It is scheduled to lie opened May 1, 1015, nnd the total cost for building nnd equipment exceeds $310,000.
In Great Ne<'k, L. I., n large amount of cable and constniction work lias re¬ cently been completed in order to cut this district over to common battery service.
The steady telephone growth In Rens.'selaer, N. Y., has entailed a large .'imount of plant work at a cost ol nbout $25,000.
On January 1. 1010, there wero nbout 3,100 Bell telephones in the city o( I'tic.-i; on the tirst of tbe |iresent year about S.O.'O. To care for this remark¬ able growtli extensive additions to tbe telephone equipment have been re quired. The work Includes the placing of the first OOO-pair 22-guuge cable In the Central Division of the New York Telephone Company.
Work Involving tbe expenditure ot nearly .$5(X),0tX) Is nbout completed in Rochester, ft Includes an addition te one of tile tele|ihone liuildlngs to house n new line switchboard nnd a toll boa nl.
The Oxford District. Buffalo, has had a remarkable gro\-vlh, mitking liiipera tlve an addition to the building and an extension to tbe switcbl»oard. One bun dred tlionsiiiid doll;irs was recently ap propriated for telephone work In Huf falo. iiiid tile imiiro\ements In fhe Ox ford district and otlier parts of tlie cit.v now make necessarj' a further appro¬ priation of $57.()(X).
In New Jersey extensive additions tu the plant In I'erth Amboy and along the route of tbe Perth Aniboy and Me tuchen toll line will be made at a cost of over $.52.(KH»; $ir.,.500 will be expend ed In construction work in the CliiTsids nnd Morsernere districts.
These examples show clearly the great Investments necessary to provide tele [ihone .service and are typical of the de- velo[)nient work constantly going on iri nil parts of the New York Telephone Company's territory. j
