§ Mr. FRANCEasked the Postmaster-General if it is now possible to revert to the former practice of the telephone operator at public exchanges giving information in reply to an inquiry as to the delay on trunk lines in view of the inconvenience of having to wait before this information is given?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHI regret that the former practice of furnishing information regarding the probable delay to trunk calls cannot yet be reverted to owing to the large number of calls on Government business for which priority is necessary.
