Clyde Carr, M.P.. with reference to the petitions asking for a public call telephone office in Higlifield, and stating that 164 signatures of persons not having telephones had been appended thereto. Mr Carr had given the deputation a sympathetic hearing, had taken charge of the petition, and had promised to present it to the Minister in charge of that Department, and to do what he could to further the object in view.
