TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.

E GREAT NORTHERN The Central Office will, if practicable, TELEGRAPH COMPANY be open to the general public so that (amalgamated with the ORIENTAL TE- any person can thence communicate LEPHONE COMPANY, Limited, as regards non-subscribers would have to pay a with the Subscribers. For this service Telephone Lines in Hongkong and small fee according to the time they China) with transfor of Alexander occupy the wire.. Graham Bell, Arnhold Whito, Frederio Gower, &o, &o.

BELL AND EDISON'S SYSTEM. Permission having been granted by the Government to establish a Tola- phone Exchange in Hongkong, the above Company hereby beg to invite Subscriptions from the Public.

Throughout Europe and America Telephone Exchanges have gained such n reputation by facilitating daily inter- course and by ensuring the safety of private and publio property, that they may now be considered indispensable ia all large Cities and Business Centres, Hongkong with its vast commercial transactions and valuable property, is essentially a place, where a well con. ducted Telephone Exchange will be of the greatest use, and in laying this Prospectus before the Public, tho Com- pany hopes that it may count upon the general support not only of the mor- chants and professional members of the Community, but also of the different Government Departments in order to render 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 central part of the town provided with the best Tele- phone appliances according to the new est and most approved European and American inventions. Each subscri 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, ho wishes to speak with, the wires are then immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct communication with each other. When they have 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 understood, that the massage are not spoken to the Cen- tral Office, and thence transmitted to the to be commmunicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be carried with perfect ease and privacy.

porsou

The Telephones used by the Com pany are the Combination Bell-Edison. These Instruments which are far su- perior to all other Tolophones on ac- sound combined with easy manage- count of their great distinctness of ment, have met with unrivalled success throughout the world, and are now also adopted by the British Govern rent Departments in England and India.

The subscription fee will to some ex- tent depend upon the number of sub- scribere, but the price will not exceed $150 per annum for town subscribers, The following boundaries will be taken as terminating the town, viz.: West.-· The Gas Works. East. Police Station No, 2. South. Caino Road and Kennedy Road, etc. Subscribers out. side those limits would bavo to pay a proportionally higher chargo according ta the length of wire required and the difficulties to bo overcome in construct. ing and maintaining the line. The subscription will be binding for one year, payable quarterly in advance.

All maintenance expenses of Instru- nents and wires are included in the above price, and the subscribers will bavo nothing to pay beyond the fixed annual charge.

The Central Office will be under competent supervision, and an efficient staff of clerks 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 chargo.

In order to expedite the work, sob. scribers are requested to send in their namos to the undersigned agent at an early date.

Should sufficient support not be re- ceived, the Company is not bound to establish the Exchange.

Superintedent.
