§ Mr. Masonasked the Postmaster-General why it took six weeks to instal a telephone at the Hardware Trades Fair at Olympia for the Hardware Trades Journal so that it was too late for exhibitors and others to be informed of its telephone number; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BevinsThe telephone for theHardware Trades Journal was installed on the day before the date specified by the customer. I am sorry that the telephone number could not be made known much earlier. The arrangements for telephone service at exhibitions are now being reviewed to see what improvements can be made.
