THE DEPRESSION
OVERSOMING LOSSES. In a recent survey of the fall and rise in telephone connections during the period of economic depression, the Post Office was able to make a teassuring statement that for twenty consecutive months there had been a steady growth in the number of telephone subfK'ribers and that the loss was being overhauled at an accelerating rate. Later figures demonstrate the maintenance of this satisfactory movement. New telephone connections for the month of April totalled 928 and there were 607 relinquishments snowing a net gain for one month of 312 subscribers and bringing the grand total of connections to 125,603, only 5$ per cent, less than the total of the peak load in December, 1930.
