'ogjziNiCS AROUND wW . J The need for a public pay telephone at the Syracuse B. & 0. Railroad station has come under consideration by officials of the United Telephone Co. through the urgence of W. W. Spurgeon, Jr., an ardent exponent of better rail service to and from Syracuse. On December 10 Spurgeon wrote the telephone company stating, “It may interest you to know that more people use this station than use the B. & O. facilities at Garrett, Nappanee, Bremen, LaPaz or Gary and this business remains rather steady throughout the year.” He added, “The B. & 0. station at Syracuse is the only railroad station in a 30-mile radius offering Pullman services to Akron, 0., Youngstown, 0., and Washington, D. C., and people come there from as far away as South Bend and Mishawaka to use the trains.” He capped his plea for a pay phone with this: “We are particularly interested in moving ahead on this during the winter because it is during the winter months that it is extremely inconvenient for an arriving passenger to walk three or four blocks to a pay telephone, particularly when he does not know where he will find one.” His letter was answered by M. L. Hochstetler, district manager of United Telephone, in which the promise for a pay telephone at the railroad station was less than absolute. It read in part, “After we received your letter ... we requested our company Paystation Administrator to investigate, evaluate, and advise us at his convenience. We assumed that at this time of year, the ‘off season’, for the summer resort area of Syracuse, we could attend to more urgent projects and problems. May we assure
