NEW EXCHANGE AT INANGAHUA
Automatic Service To 56 Persons
New Zealand’s five hundredth telephone exchange was brought into service at Inangahua Junction yesterday. The new automatic exchange will give a continuous service to 56 subscribers in the area. The Postmaster-General (Mr Hayman) said it was another milestone in the post and telegraph service in New Zealand. There were now more than 500,000 subscribers. The new exchange, which had replaced private lines, would also give a service to those settlers who had been waiting for telephones, said Mr Hayman.
