Holdsworth, Chief Postmaster. With the rapid and continual growth of Wellington of late years the number of subscribers to the : telephone exchange has j been ever on the increase. One result- of this is that the accommodation at present available has been quite outgrown and an extension has become absolutely necessary, and is now ■ being provided. : There are 5012: subscribers on the Wellington list, but -r,'with the ' increased accommodation that is now being arranged for, about 4000 can be dealt-with. It is expected; that •: this point will be reached in three "years' time, and a new exchange altogether will be required. The ultimate, capacity of the switchboard at present in use is only a little over 4000., subscribers, so that when extension beyond that is imminent an: entirely new equipment will have ?to be • installed* v ■ : f'i *';'.','■■,' :-":'.'
