This, of course, necessitated moresplicing of wires, but it resulted in a considerable saving of time, owing to the fact that the cables couldall be operated upon simultaneously. It is estimatedthat 25,000 splicings were made. The repairs werenecessarily temporary, because in their haste to bringthe system back to its normal state the telephone com-pany made connections without running the cablesthrough the iron tubing. It will now be necessary to.
