TELEPHONE SUBSCRIBERS.
MANY RELINQUISH SERVICE. NO HOPE OF LOWER RENTALS. [BY TELEGHXPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Friday. The Postmaster-General, the Hon. A. Hamilton, referring to-day to the loss of telephone subscribers, said that last month there were 600 new connections and 935 relinquishments, representing 335 connections given up. Taking the whole of the Dominion from April 1, 1931, the cumulative loss of subscribers was 2638, 2 or 3 per cent., in the present difficult times, could not be regarded in any way as disastrous. Mr. Hamilton said that even a small concession in rentals would be a very serious thing at present.
