Telephone Service at the Postoffice (Continued from page 1) the line of work started by Post Mas te r Anderson. t Tbti’-Pust Office Regulation regard ing inquiries but confirms us in our thanksgiving that the railroads are not also under government central, or our telephones, let us say. It is recognized the Department does not grant an allowance for telephones, but why should’t they. The telephone at Hempstead is properly listed, dif fering from that at Freeport. This one point of Postm aster Sm ith’s let ter we would emphasize. The railroad companies Issue time tab les; the Post Office does not; but is there any rea son they should not. excepting that they are a monopoly, and \ d o n ’t have to?” | appreciate the stand of the local Postm aster, but we still feel that there should be a telephone in a Post Office just as much as in a bank or a newspaper office. A bank would not run without a telephone and yet there la that same possibility of the wrong person calling for information But • even adm itting this regulation is a proper one, there are occasions where the public is entitled to information .?hich would not come under that head, aa the times of departures and arriv als of mail*, information as to wheth er certain sizes envelopes or postcerde are carried in stock, etc. Summing up briefly, it seems to be the fact in the case of the Poet Offi e th a t It ja a-municipal proposition, Gov ernm ent owned without control or cp position and that consequently no a t tem p t te made to give the public all _ jle convenience, tech as the Gov ernm ent requires the railroad end tele phone companies to do, or as business _ demands of banks and privately owned j business concerns.

Naturally one would suppose on im provement in fire fignting apparatus ' would have some bearing on insurance I rates, but Patchogue has found out the reverse. We spent m ire than $10,000 on motor apparatus for the firemen, expecting a reduction in rates. The i latest rate schedule shows a big in- crease in practically svery building in | town, outside of the residential dis- I trict.—Argus. j Ttuer words were never spoken. And incidentally, what does this key i rate, which they tell you will be a f fected, amount to anyway? I have beard a lot about what would happen to the key rate if we did so and so, but have never received any word that it had been lowered. Rather seems as though as soon as improvements are contemplated these insurance “ ex perts” look about for something upon which to penalize an equal amount, so that the key rate will not be affected. And when you ask what this key rate is, you are apt to be told that it does not apply to present rates, does not apply in the residential section, the business section or some other equally vague answer. Reminds me of a story told me by a member of our department recently. A man calling himself an insurance inspector came into his shop, and made the remark that rates were about to he raised in Freeport’s business sec tion. y W hat’s the reason?” asked the fire- Well, you have a volunteer fire de partm ent, and they can’t get here in a half hoar.\ Say,” replied the fireman, “ it you have the price, I will prove you are a 1—r in ten minutes, and I am quite a ways from them too.” The “ inspector” left.

Special for Wednesday, December 6th, only Hempstead had the record of not having laid a line of hose for ten and a half months, dating from the big fire last December, according to the Hempstead Sentinel, for a fire within the incorcorate limits, although the proposition of answering alarms for places outside the limits has been and still is a serious one for them. It does not seem right that those people who settle just outside of an incorpor ated village and do not share in its ex pense of government should share equally in its benefits, yet few men. if they received a call under these cir cumstances would want to refuse to answer it. On the other hand, un doubtedly these very people “ come across” liberally when there is a con vention, fair or entertainm ent going on. I t ’s a big proposition, but Chief Nichols is big enough for it. You need no longer put up with the delay and inconvenience of awaiting the arrival of new parts for your automobile.
