LAX TELEPHONE SERVICE.

TO THE -£MT«I OF "«IE FBESS." Sir,-I should like to support what other correspondents have remarked in reference to the telephone service ot the present .hiv. This, service is be- " , i„t ni;il with i-oiiiing more and more lax, .<" what I consider an entire absence o • ' ense. The other morning I made c attempts to become connected «' Ex.-haiißC. with a suitable interval itween each ring, and on the cigh h attempt was questioned lrntabh as reasons for ringing s0 often. .'!" , / naturallv remarking that I w'-«"" l )' become 'connected, and had m f le ''"-..' unsuccessful attempts to gc tnc n. ■l i **.,*;,.,! ivis informed ijj change's attention, 1 "as 1111 ... the attendant, "We are verj bus> tins morning." r„ntr-H This inattention on the part of Untr.l ~.„ir,-i.ni'(" indeed. is no uncommon oeeumncc, _ Christchurch is noted amongst ot iu centres in this respect. I trust 1., and the complaints of others vr.ll tend towards the promotion of a hemi .l vice to the subscribing public, winch eertainlv pavs no small sum to secure the somewhat doubtful benefit ot owning a tclephone.-Yours.^ cRiBEE>
