Subscribers, in Manhattan particularly, compiain that it has never taken 60 long to put through local calls. It is not unusual now for f the telephone user to have to wait a full minute or more after remov- | ing tho telephone from the hook before he is even noticed by the central operator; while “wrong numbers,” connections with “busy | wires” and long periods of complete silence and inaccessibility on the | part of “central” have never been more frequent and vexatious. | Many telephone subscribers have begun to keep tabs on delays | and needless errors. After being told by a telephone operator at| intervals that she is “ringing your number,” the discovery after several minutes that she does not know the number she professes | to be ringing is trying to the temper. | War and Spanish influenza provided the New York Telephone Company with excuses for a marked falling off in its service. ‘The | public accepted those excuses and endeavored to be patient | But with the demands of war and the ravages of the influenza rs epidemic both abated, telephone service shows no improvement. On! the contrary the slump in efficiency continues and threatens to become permanent. | New York telephone subscribers who have been paying the $10 installation charges that Postmaster General Burleson authorized the | New York Telephone Company to impose are beginning to wonder | whether the privilege of permanently lowering standards of service | went with the privilege of levying an unprecedented extra toll upon the telephone-using public of this city. ——-++ A COMMUTERS’ QUERY. ‘ ; OMMUTERS on the New York, New Haven and Hartford | Railroad are asking the why and wherefore of the notice | recently posted that all monthly commutation tickets must be purchased on the first day of the month, The rule is bound to result in extreme congestion at the ticket offices and an exira amount of inconvenience for the travelling public.
