Recently tlic Westland Progress Longue had occasion to call the attention of the Telephone Office to the difficulty in obtainin'; ready connections in intor-Tslaiul communications, although the Department had circularised local subscribers in respect to the use of the telephone for the purpose of communicating with the North Island. On looking into the matter of the complaints, the Postmaster has advised the Progress League as follows:—“I have to inform you in reply to your letter of the 22nd nit-., that Hokitika is not within range of the i liter-island telephone service. Apparently the wrong issue of a pamphlet on the question lias caused a misunderstanding. As a Telephone Inspector has lately visited Hokitika a further communication will probably follow later.” The oversight mentioned in the foregoing was also brought under the notice of the Telephone Inspector when here last week, and the matter is being referred to headquarters for rectification of the obvious misunderstanding in the matter.
