THE BISHOP’S PHONE
A Speedy Installation Realising that once a prospective telephone subscriber has signed his application he will count the days before the instrument is installed, the Post Office organisation works quickly and keeps careful check of results. The Wellington staff received a public tribute to its efficiency from the Rt. Rev. St. Barbe Holland, M.A., the new jjisbop of Wellington, who, in acknowledging a civic welcome, remarked that everybody seemed most anxious to be friendly and obliging and to help make a newcomer feel at home. New Zealand, he imagined, was one of the few countries in the world where one could ask the Post and Telegraph Department to install a telephone at 11 a.m. and be using It at 4 P-m. He said he intended to write the British Post-master-General about it.
