Coolidge in 1887, his first connection 
with library work was not’at that time. 
It dates back to over 60 years ago, 
some few years after the Lyceum was 
founded here, the object of which was, 
like all other institutions of its kind, 
to promote the cause of education. 
A small library in connection with the 
work was formed, and this was the 
nucleus of the present library. 
Since entering its new home the 
volume of books has steadily increased 
until it now numbers 11,703. It is 
needless to say that Mr. Bingham is 
peculiarly adapted to this work. He 
is thoroughly conversant on all the 
books of the day, and knows what 
books should and should not be in the 
library. He is ever genial, ready and 
anxious to do all in his power to help 
those with whom he constantly comes 
in contact.

Telephone Exchange 
In New Quarters. 
The telephone exchange of the New 
Eng. Tel. & Tel. Co , formerly located 
in Lee’s block, Manchester, was re- 
moved last Saturday night to the new 
quarters in Pulsifer’s block, the prep- 
arations for which have been going on 
The work of “ cut- 
ting over’’ was started at 9 30 and by 
2 o'clock Sunday morning, after four 
hours and a half work, everything 
was in almost perfect running order. 
The new office, when complete, will 
be one of the best of any town of the 
size in this section. The company 
has always sought to give its patrons 
good service and the change from 
Lee’s block to these new quarters will 
undoubtedly offer an opportunity for 
much better service than formerly, 
when there was a lacking of space. | 
There are nine ‘positions’? now 
where there were formerly six, and of 
this number three are for local calls 
and six for toll service, which is very 
heavy here in the summer months. 
The latest style magneto ‘board”’ 
has been installed. The battery and 
pole changing room is in the small 
room in the rear of the main room. 
Electric lights are to be installed in 
the building at once, which will add 
greatly to the facililies. - 
Fifteen men were employed in 
changing the offices Jast Saturday. 
night, Robert Evans being in charge 
of the switch boards and John Wood- 
” 
ward of the cables.
