CORRESPONDENCE.

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE | (To the Editor). i Sir —lt appears from the report of the last Chamber of Commerce meeting that complaints had been made respecting the recent working J of the Hokitika telephone system.. As reported, it seems scarcely lair . to those attendants who in the past have so distinguished themselves, bv their courtesy and efficiency. , Those subsciibers who have complained are probably aware that the 1 trouble lies in the fact that the stall | has recently undergone some sweep-ino-changes- some members having been removed to other centres, and some being off duty through illness, j. Their places have been filled with; novices who evidently are not yet j sufficiently experienced to keep pace with what is expected ol them it _ must be mo.-t provoking to those ■ of the old staff who, though anxious to please, are thus powerless to tie fend their official reputation As I an old subsetiber, I should like, to j express my aupreciatiou cf the sei- j vices that have been, and arc being, rendered bv the old staff. With. their influence, and with more experience on the part of the novices, we mav satelv look forward to an j improved state of affairs in the near future. I am etc., “ SUBSCRIBER.” Hokitika, 6tli Oct., 19x6-
