A HOLIDAY CENTRE.
IMPROVED TOLL FACILITIES. “The telephone facilities of Rotorua wilj. be considerably improved before the holiday period,” states the Post-master-General (Hon. F. Jones) in announcing that the old single telephone channel between Auckland and Rotorua has been replaced by a high frequency carrier system giving three first-class toll circuits between these important centres. With the increasing popularity of Rotorua as a holiday centre, the department’s toll traffic has grown beyond the capacity of the single circuit to Auckland, and the trebling of these facilities will give the additional advantage of relieving Hamilton and Tauranga circuits which, in busy times, have been used for Rotorua business. The new arrangement,” concluded the Postmaster-General, “has a far-reaching effect, because it will reduce delays on calls .to Rotorua from places as far afield as Wellington and towns in the South Island.” •
