TO ASSIST TOURISTS.
WIRELESS TELEPHONE SERVICE FOR MILFORD TRACK ROUTE. (by telegraph—press association.) WELLINGTON, Oct. 4. One of the obvious advantages of radio telephony is that it enables communication to be carried on between points which cannot easily be connected bv wires. A notable case in which ready communication is very desirable, but would be, if wired telephones were used, prohibitively costly, is on a section of the Milford track between Glade House and Lake Te Anau. The Tourist Department has ordered a 200 watt radiophone equipment for use in this section, the portion over the lake being traversed by steamer. Tt. is impossible to lay a telephone line round the almost 'inaccessible, forest-clad shore of the lake, and the absence of means of communication has long been very inconvenient.
