Mil & St P Rk Isl & P PHONE TOLLS SHOW LOCAL GONDITIONS Revenue Therefrom Stops De- creasing; Increase in Stations That the present unsatisfactory business, industrial and general con- ditions, have reached their lowest point and that no more discouraging outlook is seen, was the deduction made this morning by T. P. McAuliff, local Exchange Manager of the South- ern New England Telephone company, from facts concerning toll revenues. “This exchange has been affected only in the numbar ot its toll calls,’ he said. “Commencing with last No- vember the revenue from such calls began to decrease. Where a company had been in the habit of calling New York trequently, it was seen to cur- tall those calls. The revenue decreased by almost one-half.” Mr. McAuliff added that the rev- enue from toll calls had remained about stationary recently. Ho ex- plained that revenue from toll calls was affected by the weather also; that there is apt to be a slight increase in the summer. Increase In Subscribers. From January 1 to May 31 there have been 135 new subscribers in this city. This, said Mr. McAulift, is abous the normal or very little below the normal increase. The Exchange Manager comment- ‘ed upon the great number of people who moved in the month of April, the subscribers retaining their tele- phones in almost every instance. It svas his expressed belifef that those | most affected by the unemployment | situation were not the persons in the habit of using or possessing a tele- phone. MERIDEN R. 0. T. C.
