TELEPHONE CO. USES TAXICABS TO RELAY CALLS bportant Telephcne Messages Delivered in Jersey Towi in Spite of Storm Taiicahs took the place of tele* phones in the town of Pitman, N.

About one-half of the town's 1,000 telephones were put out of commission, with the result that communication was tied up for some time. In this emergency, however, the townspeople were not without tele phone facilities, for in addition to Its own cars and those of private individuals the local telephone com pany secured a fleet of taxicabs, by which messages from outside points were relayed to the subscribers whose service had been cut off. When calls came in for people whoee homes (or the time being were without any me aas of com munication these taxicabs were sent at the company's expense to bring the party deelred to the tele phone exchange or to pay stations in Are Pitman rtores, where there was no Interruption with the serv ice. Not all calls were completed In thie way. The matter was left to the party calling a Pitman sub scriber to decide whether the call was Important. If It was the party desired was eent for by means of the taxicab. Through the emergency service thus provided three doctors were "delivered" to homes where they were needed, while several persorus were taken to the officee of physi- cians for treatment. The tie-up continued a day and a night for about 400 subscribers and a little bit longer for the remainder.
