NEW YORK, September 28 (N.AN.A) —Since the telephone company stopped telling the time for nothing the clocks on the street and in the towers of buildings have a new responsibility, but they have not lived up to it. Several are in a class with the notorious clocks of Paris—they never go right. More clocks are needed. The one in-the Metropolitan Life tower, which has a name for always being right, is now hidden by new skyscrapers from offices that used to operate by it. One man bought a field glass so that in an office far away he could live by this clock, but now a gigantic wall blots it from view.
