XV. MONACO 



THE Principality possesses a telephone exchange which in March 

 1895 numbers just seventy connections. It is conducted in 

 every respect on the French plan, the instruments and mode 

 of construction being French, and the tariff identical with that 

 applicable to French towns of less than 25,000 inhabitants (see 

 French section, p. 147). The list of subscribers is printed in 

 Paris ; the conditions of subscription, regulations, and instructions 

 how to use the instruments are all copied verbatim from the 

 French ; so, when it has been stated that a trunk line gives 

 Monaco communication with Antibes, Cannes, Grasse, Mentone, 

 and Nice, there is nothing further to be said about the telephonic 

 system of Albert I., Sovereign Prince of Monaco.
