Show j The London and Purls Telephones. I The very unsatisfactory state of the London telephone service has resulted in the formation of a subscribers' associa- ( tion for the purpose of securing better service aud more satisfactory rutes. In this connection there is some possibility of the postofliee running a telephone exchange ex-change of its own. The London-Paris telephone line now transmits about fifty conversations per day. Since the rates for a threo minute conversation are two dollars, the lowest possible revenue of the company is $100 per day, and it is fair to assume that many customers exceed ex-ceed the three minute limit, and thus raise the average toll per message.
