ment Departments in England and India
Throughout Europe and America Telephone Exchanges have gained such & reputation by facilitating daily inter- course and by ensuring the safety of private and public property, that they my now. be considered indispensable in all Inrge Cities and Business Centres. Hongkong with its vast commercial transactions and valuable property. is essentially a place, where a well con- dusted Telephone Exchange will be of the greatest use, and in Inging this Prospectus before the Public, the Com. pany hopes that it may count npou the general support not, only of the mer- chants and professional members of the Community, but also of the different Government Departments in order to ronder the service as efficient as pos- siblo.
The Exchange will be worked in the following way, viz.: a head Office will be established in the contral part of the town provided with the best Tele- phone appliances according to the new est and most approved European and American inventions. Each subsori- ber will be supplied with a complete set of Instruments and will be put in direct communication with the central office by separate wires.
When wishing to use the Telephone, a Subscriber will only have to call the Central Station and give the name of the party, he wishes to speak with, the wires are then immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct curamunication with each
other. When they live finished, the Central Office is notified to that effect by a Bell Signal, the wires are then disconnected, and any other connection can be made if desired and so on. The dialogue between the subscribers is of course quite private and can only be heard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be anderstond, that the message are not spoken to the Con. tral Office, and thence transmitted to the person to be communicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous lino, over which conversation can be carried with perfect ense and privacy.

The subscription fee will to some ex- tent depend upon the number of sub- scribers, hat the price will not exceed $150 per annum for town subscribers. The following boundaries will be taken as torminating the town, viz.; West.- The Gas Works. Enst. Police Station No. 2. South.- Caine Road and Kennedy Road, etc. Subscribers out side these limits would have to pay a proportionally higher charge according to the length of wire required and the difficulties to be overcome in construct ing and maintaining the line. The subscription will bo binding for one year, payable quarterly in advance.
All maintenance expenses of Instra ments and wires are included in the above price, and the subscribers will have nothing to pay beyond the fixed annual charge.
The Central Office will be under
competent supervision, and an efficient staff of clocks will be in attendance during office hours.
The Company will also undertake to make private arrangements for persons wishing to be in direct communication with their offices, godowns, etc., and
to take over the maintenance of such
lines at reasonable charge.
In order to expedite the work, sub. scribers are requested to send in their names to the undersigned agent at an early date.
Should sufficient support not be re- bound to coved, the Company is not establish the Exchange.
