CONTINUOUS SERVICE. At Thursday’s meeting- of the Otaki Borough Council the Mayor brought up lor discussion the matter of a continuous telephone service for Otaki. Hu said there would lie no extra charge for private owners while in the case of business people only £2 per year would be charged. A party line would bo charged about £1 extra. To obtain the continuous service a referendum would have to be taken. If the propo.nl was carried it would be a great boon, and he had felt the business men would raise no objection. Cr. Cockrell said he had hi. doubts on the matter, pointing ettl that very few business people lived ea their business premises. The Mayor: If we get a. continuous service we will also get a more efficient one. Cr. Cockrell-: Wo cannot get « more efficient service till the [frossnt accommodation. is improved. As the Chamber of Commerce was moving for an extension of Sunday hours if was agreed to refer the matter to that body for consideration.
