THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH-SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH, 1881.

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.

HD GREAT NORTHERN TELEGRAPH COMPANY (amalgamated with the ORIENTAL TE LEPHONE COMPANY, Limited, as regards Telophone Lines in Hongkong and China) with transfer of Alexander Graham Bell, Arnhold Whito, Froderio Gower, &o., &o,

The Central Offics will, if practionble, be open to the general public so that any person can thenco coramanicate with tho Subscribers. For this service non-subscribers would have to pay a small fee according to the time they occupy the wire.

Tho Telephones used by the Com. pany are the Combination Boll-Edison. These Instruments which are far su- BELL AND EDISON'S SYSTEM.perior to all other Tolephones on ac.

Permission having been granted by the Government to establish a Tele. phone Exchange in Hongkong, the above Company hereby bag to invite Subscriptious 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 a woll con- ducted Telephone Exchange will be of the greatest ase, and in laying this Prospectus before the Public, the Com- pany hopes that it may count upon 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 reuder the service as efficient as pos- sible.

The Exchange will be worked in the following way, viz.: a head Office will be established in the contral part of. the town provifod with the best Telo. 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, he wishes to speak with, the wires are the 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 hoard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be understood, that the message are not spoken to the Cen- tral Office, aud thence transmitted to the person to be communicated with, but tho two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be carried with perfect ease and privacy.

TWO ROOMS suitable for an office

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

The subscription fee will to some ex- tont depend upon the number of sub- soribers; but the price will not exceed $150 per annum for town subscribers, The following boundaries will be takon as terminating the town, viz. : West,- The Gas Works, East.-Police Station No, 2. South. Caine Road and Kennedy Road, oto. Subscribers out- side these limits would bave 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 be binding for one year, payable quarterly in advance.

All maintenance expenses of Instru- monis and wires are insluded in the above price, and the subscribers will have nothing to pay boyond the fixed annual charge.

The Contral Office will be under competent supervision, and an efficient staff of clerks will be in attendance during office hours.

make private arrangonents for persons The Company will also undertake to 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 bo re.. coived, the Company is not bound to establish the Exoliange.
