No Telephone Exchange. 
Beverly Farms folk, business men 
and summer residents alike, who were 
instrumental in sending a signed pett- 
tion to the New England Telephone 
company, asking for a continuance of 
the exchange at the Farms during the 
winter months, will be interested in 
the following reply from Superintend- 
ent J. H. Barry, which has just been 
received : 
Thomas D. Connolly, Esq., 
Beverly Farms, Mass. 
Dear Sir: beg to acknowledge receipt 
of petition signed by you and other sub- 
scribers at Beverly Farms, requesting that 
our exchange at that place be kept open 
during the winter months. 
The exchange was established for the 
purpose of handling the business of that 
section during the summer months only, 
when there are upwards of one hundred sub- 
scribers connected; during the winter months 
the number is reduced to between forty and 
fifty, which is far below the number required 
to warrant the employment of help necessary 
to operate an exchange in which continuous 
service is furnished. 
While it is our desire to meet the wishes 
of our subscribers in every way possible, we 
cannot consistently do so in this case for 
reasons above stated. I think I can safely 
assure you that the service in the Beverly 
exchange proper during the coming winter 
months will be of a satisfactory character 
and equal in all respects to the service which 
you are now receiving in the Beverly Farms 
exchange. Should you have cause for com- 
plaint after you are transferred to the Bev- 
erly exchange, I will be pleased if you will 
bring the matter to my attention. 
Very truly yours, 
J. H. BARRY, 
Division Superintendent.
