Modernization
and

of
Prince
Rupert's
telephone
system
is
recommended
in
a
report
compiled
by
the
utilities
committee
and
read
before
city
council
by
Alderman
Thomas
Elliott,
committee
chairman,
Tuesday
night.
The
present
system
is
so
old,-Alderman
Elliott
told
council
members,
that
standard
parts
cannot
be
used
on
It.
Special
equipment
must
be
made
by
manufacturers
and
this
delays
receipt
of
orders
for
replacements.
"Some
party
lines
are
not
completely
filled
with
subscribers
because
we
are
unable
to
get
the
particular
type
of
phone
required
for
our
circuits,"
he
reported.-
There
are
about
2.000
phones
on
the
system
ut
present,
360
of
them
being
.main
line
phones.

a
situation
where
in
operators
might
not
be
able
to
handle
the
increased
traffic,
unless
the
calls
were
staggered,
the
report
stated.
It
added
that
the
of
panel
boards
might
in
a
breakdown
which
would
mean
the
loss
of
the
use
of
several
hundred
phones.
At
present,
150
conversations
can
be
earned
on
tne
system
at
the
same
time.
To
extend
the
service,
the
present
exchange
room
must
be
enlarged.
No
new
phones
are
available
at
present.
Orders
for
equip
ment
and

In
last
March
have
not
yet
been
acknowledged.
When
new
phones
come,
they
must
be
Installed

Discussing
the
report,.
Alder
man
Hill
suggested
that,
since
there
was
little
likelihood
of
extending
the
s-ervlce
greatly
before
the
end
of
the
war,
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
plan
for
a
hew
telephone
exchange
building.
i
Alderman
Black
felt
that
because
the
present
telephone
system
is
a
paying
utility,
every
ef
fort
should
be
made
to
keep
It
as
well
maintained
as
possible.
He
made
a
motion
that
efforts
be
made
to
get
more
telephones.
