Knonooua auma of money and almost unmeasured physical endurance on the part of linemen and other workers are the extra costs of telephone service in the bUzxard season, and they are pour¬ ed—out nnstlntlngly by the telepbone company, in the path of winter storms. An outsider reading bere for the flrst time of the struggle aud expense In¬ volved in undoing tbe work of twenty- four hours of aleet and wind, begins t* understand something of what la at hia disposal when he takea down bis receiver.

The Plant and Trafflc Departments tiehaved as they always do, wiilch goea without saying. Impelled as If by one idea, both the women and the men bustled out to meet the needs of the public. We all know tbat In pleasant weather everyl)ody telephones because it la so easy, and In bad weather they telephone more, because It is tbe only way to get over the ground! That's where the Trafflc and Plant forces come In. to make It possible for the publlc to do thla.

NKW YORK BtDPORO LINE. CARPINTBR AVINUK, SRONX. LOOKIIMl
NORTH
Two severe breaiu oecurred on tb* Boston Midland line; one break inclod ed aeventeen poles along the Brtm River road, Mt Veraou. wbere the fall ing poles and wires earried away tbe overhead trolley structure; the other break occurred where the line crossed over the N. Y. C. U. R. at North White Plains. At thia poliit xiiv r'Oln* werr from seventy-flve to eigbt.v ftMM In height, and carried sixty wires.
Probably one of tbe most exiiensi\e breaks to repair occurred on the White Plains-Tarrytown line along the Tarn town road opposite tbe We^chester County fair grounds, tbe flrst two poles being underground terminal poles, one connecting with forty ttdl wires and a seventy-flve-palr aerial subscriber cable, and the otber with » 250-pkh' aerial cable, used for local toll service. In falling, one of tbe cables crossed wifh the trolley line aud put both underground terminals out of service.
For the numlier of poles involved the White Plains-Portchester line suflTered more than any one other line. Out of 200 poles over flfty went down. Kor a portion of the way the line was parnl leled by the main line of the Postal Telegraph Company, mostly sixty-fooi cedar poles carrying flfty wires aud these also went down for a consider able portion of the way.
While some of the main roads were open on Tuesday, December 14, even on the following day progress was very slow, largely because of vehicles being stalled. A five-ton Plerce-Arrow truck loaded with emergency supplies left the Central Storeroom at Bethune street. New York, al)out 3 a. m., Wednesday, arriving at White Plains at 1 p. II., having beeu ou the road ten hours to cover a distance of less than thirty miles.
As usual, in such emergency cases. every effort was made to restore serv¬ ice with a minimum delay. On Tues¬ day, December 14, thirty-nine tons of emergency supplies were shipped from the Central Storeroom. About twent}' meu from the Manhattan District and seventy-flve from the I>ong Islnnd, New Jersey, and t.'eiitnil Dlvlslous. were sent to Westchester to assist in the task of restoring service and mak¬ ing repairs.
HANDLING THE EMERGENCY IN NEW JERSEY
While tbe I'iuiiL and Trallic Depart¬ ments ot the N'ew Jersey Division bave had cousiderabie experience in han¬ dling storm conditions, additional re¬ finements were worked out in connec¬ tion with the recent storm.
During the latter part of the aftei- noou, De<embor i:i, the storm increa.s ed in intensity ami the went hor report indicated a fall of six inches of suow during the night, with a gale of wind and colder weather on the followlnir day. As soon as this cheerless infor- matlou was received froni the Weather Bureau, arratigemeuts were made wltli the Trafflc Depaitment to have all chief oiieratoi-s keeii their ti'tiiik sen-- ice in close observation aud report promptly to thc Divlshm Truffle En gineer of trunks found out of order. By means of the Plant Department's trunk record showing the routing of all trunks, together with the Informa tion received from the various chiel operators, it was an easy matter to de¬ termine which lines were being dam aged and also the extent of tbe dam age. By (> p. m. enough reports had been received to indicate that the con ditions "were serious, und accordingly the Trafflc Department Issued verbal instructions to liave a complete test of all trunk circuits made at 9 p. m.
The reports at sl.v o'clwk Indicated that a consideraljlo number of local trunks were out of service and that se\ eral of the moro important switching offlces were bandh-aiipod on account of a lack of toll trunks. For example. Di). ver had lost all Newark and Jersey foil trunks; Hackensack and Englewood had lost all Newark Toll frunk.s, and a number of working Freehold and Lakewood Toll trunks had been re¬ duced to one-balf. With this informa tion two important steps were taken at once.
1. Couriers were despatched to cover the most Important open wire lines which were known to be out of serv¬ ice.
2. With the co-operation of the Divi¬ sion Trafflc Engineer's offlce assign¬ ments were prejiareU and issued to wire chiefs for making such patches and cross-connections as would most ad¬ vantageously redistribute the tnink cir cults which stlH remained in service. Relief was required at Englew<HMl. Hackensack. Ridgewood. Dover, Lake wood and Freehold.
At 11 p. in. assignments had iieen Issued and patches made to relieve for the most part trafflp needs at the of flees mentioned. Arrangements were made to bave a complete test of all trunks made by the Trafflc Dopartment at 3 a. m. on Tuesday. The purpose of a test at such an early hour was to avoid any unnecessary loss of time in making further emergency rearrange ments, in the event of the storm's bav ing spent itself by that time.
The Trafflc report was completed by 4:30 and representatives from tbe Di¬ vision Plant and Trafflc headquarters reached tbe office at about fi a. m. and planned as many addltionai rearrange¬ ments as could be made to advantage with those trunk circuits which sHIl remained in sen'ice. The assignments were Issued and most of the work com¬ pleted by the Wliv Chiefs before f> a. m., with the result that except for a few small offlces whicb liave only one route connecting tbem witb tbe trunk system, practically all trafflc wa« lie¬ ing handled on a "no delay" basis.

This is the habit of our robin. Rob ins raise fwo nnd sometimes three fam Hies in one season.
