BUSINESS TELEPHONES
(To the Editor.) Sir,—l think I am voicing the opinion of the majority of the business telephone subscribers in raising a strong objection to the inclusion of the so-called "classified business directory" as an appendix to the official telephone directory."Where there, arc many subscribers in a given line of business, a few are picked out and placed in prominence, and with the sanction of the Department. The main objection is not the compiling of this list, but its inclusion in the official directory. There could be no possible objection "to having such a list sent out as a separate publication, as it was on Ist August, 1927. Is not the official directory a part of the telephone installation, for which each subscriber pays? 'If-so,'has the Department any right, under any circumstance, to place the few'in prominence as it has done by this appendix? -If such a classification 'is to be included in the .subscribers' directory,'the charges, or rather the telephone subscriptions, should _ be made to cover the cost and all business connections listed under their, certain headings. Such, a classification would then be of. a, real public benefit.—l am/ ; SUBSCRIBER. .
