phone office was rated first class by
the 11e11 Company. which meant that

The present Local Representative
of the Bell Company is Miss E. M,
Cluff, who took charge in the autumn
of 193S, Miss Cluff was keenly inter
ested and played a part during the
months of co-ordinated effort by all
departments of the Bell Company
which were required to bring about
the change to the new telephone sys-

is in such conversions to cut over
froth the old to the new system with•
out any appreciable interruption to
telephone traffic.
According to Miss Cluff, there were
320 telephones in service here ou
December 31st last, Each one of
these instruments in normal times
