ABOUT TELEPHONE SERVICE.
Editor Independent:
We wish to state, in connection
with an editorial of Friday’s daily
issue of the Newport Independent, in
regard to the poor service that has
been rendered to the subscribers of
the Bell Telephone Company, that
we are doing our very best to place
our standard of service in first class
shape, but owing to shortage of
help and part of the employees
leaving the' service to such an extent
that at present we have only one of
our old operators at work, and hav
ing to teach a new crew of operators
the work, we will have to ask the pa
trons of the Southwestern Bell Tele
phone Company to bear with us for a
short time until our new operating
force can be made a little more pro
ficient in their work.
We also regret to inconvenience
!>me of our subscribers in regard to
trouble, all of which we could not
possibly control, 'on account of our
cable being struck by lightning on
the night of the 18th.
We have worked unceasingly to
restore this trouble but had to wait
on a cable man, who, today, has
pects to clear the trouble at once,
pects to clear troubl at one.
Yours sincerely,
Southwestern Telephone Co.,
Ed Rucks, Mgr.
