As soon as the bell at the Town Hall is rung, subscribers, who hear it invariably call central, asking for the location of the fire, and when this happens so muclv extra work is in-. volved that a patron, who wishes to call doctor incase of an aecident. or merely wishes to call a number is pro- bably unable; to get the operator and usually lodges a complaint of poor service as the operator: is too busy giving out, information regarding the page to the ffiel problem, and asks CH, the question, .Can Peat Solve Can -t ades lFuel PrOblem?

You made mention of in your last issue 'of the excitement that prevailed among the firemen, at the recent Wandsman fire. Is there any wonder they becanne ex- -cited?
