subscribers efficient service. We se
lected one of yur experienced Chief
Operators. who v had been in* Ybe em
ploy of the company for more than
ten years.-to take charge of our o»p
erating here. 'The result was that
the service Itfproved and very few
complaints have Jieen made since
(then by aqf subaci^iers. We rro
pleased to note in your communica
tion that the .service has Improved.
Unfortunately, however, \ on last
Tuesday the ; .|oth. Instant, • there' wm
hie. for a vorjr short time, for uh to
furnish any service to our \Vaycross
subscribe! s. On that day between,
of any kind by any of the operators, ’
nnd without any notice or iifttinniion
of their Intention to do so, all of the
operators then at the switchboard
left the operating room and locked
tlie door without leaving any one In
charge of our properly, and this made
possible for any of our sujmcrib-
bycroas to receive any ser
vice. U'orcfctyptely this situation
Boon known -So/ us and the service
whs promptly tutored. Since then
no further Interruption to the serv
ice has occurred,
The fact that we were unable to
furnish you service on the ^10th. in
stant, for even a short time,»Is re
gretted,. and this would not have oc-
cm red if we had received intimation
In udvance that our operhtors inten
ded to leave the switchboard. While
we have investigated the matter and
have found nhtliing that would justif/
us Id discharging the Chtjef Operator,
we would state that she abas tender
ed her resignation as Chief Operator
at Waycross and another Chief Op
erator has been put. jn lier place.
We beg further to say that nothing
will be left undone on our part to
continue to furnish efficient service
at Waycross in accordance with the
reasonable rules and regulations of
Ihe Company applicable to our oper
ators, and trust that you will have
no occasion in the future to make
complaint as to our service, and we
confidently hope and believe that In
our effort to do this, we shall receive
your co-operation.
Yours respectfully,
