THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH-TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND, 1881.

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.

HE GREAT NORTHERN TELEGRAPH COMPANY (amalgamated with the ORIENTAL TE- LEPHONE COMPANY, Limited, as regards Telephone Lines in Hongkong and China) with transfer of Alexander Graham Bell, Arnhold White, Frederic Gower, &o., &c.

The Central Office will, if practicable, be open to the general public so that any person can thence communicate with the Subscribers. For this service non-subscribers would have to pay a small foe according to the time they occupy the wire.

The Telephones used by the Com- pany are the Combination Bell-Edison. These Instruments which are far su-

BELL AND EDISON'S SYSTEM.perior to all other Tolephones on ac-

Permission having boon granted by the Government to establish a Tele. phone Exchange in Hongkong, the above Company hereby beg to invite Subscriptions from the Public.

Throughout Europe and America Telephone Exchanges have gained such a reputation by facilitating daily inter- course and by ensuring the safety of private and public property, that they may now be considered indispensable In all large Cities and Business Centres. Hongkong with its vast commercial transactions and valuable property, is essentially a place, where n well cou- ducted Telephone Exchange will be of the greatest ass, and in laying this Prospectus before the Public, the Com- pany hopes that it may count the

upon general support not only of the mer- chants and professional members of the Community, but also of the different Government Departments in order to

count of their great distinotness of. sound combined with easy manage- ment, have met with unrivalled success throughout the world, and are now also adopted by the British Govern- ment Departments in England and India.

The subscription fee will to some ex- tent depend upon the number of sub- scribera, 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 Worka. 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 longth 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 Instru- render the service as efficient as posments and wires are included in the abovo price, and the subscribers will have nothing to pay beyoud the fixed

sible.

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 Tole 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 contral 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, I wishes to sponk with, the wiras are then immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct communication with each

other. When they have finishel, the

Central Office is notified to that effect by n Bell Signal, the wires are then disconnected, and any other connection can be inade if desired and so on. The dialogue between the subscribers is of course quite private and can only be hoard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be anderstood, thit the message are not spoken to the Cen. tral Office, and thence transmitted to the person to be co amanicated with, but the two wires aro simply switched together, thus forming one continuons liae, over which conversation can be carried with perfect ease and privacy.

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

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- cuived, the Company is not bound to establish the Exchange.
