of the cost of the scheme envisaged by the directors, ewing to the
impossibility of obtaining skilled operaters, it was decided that a
fully automatic exchange would be impracticable. The directors aim

installed, but the manual type of instrument will be retained, end
underground cable will only be laid in the main avenues, overhead
cable will be used in the narrow and tortuous streets of the bazaar
areas. Lr. loss was able to impress on the directors that
