Before You Telephone Make SurejThe Call Is Essential
300,000 calls daily have been added to the abnormal telephone traffic in New York City as a result of the epidemic of influenza and pneumonia. In addition to a shortage of about 1,000 operators from our normal force, 2,000 operators are absent from the Central Offices on account of sickness. The girls remaining on duty are meeting the emergency with a fine spirit of service that merits the highest praise and the most kindly cooperation. But there are limits to what they can do. Every unnecessary call places an unnecessary burden upon the operators and may delay vitally important messages. COOPERATE! Help keep the lines open for carrying the messages to physicians, hospitals, nurses, health department workers and others directly concerned with the epidemic.

Most of the contracts have been awarded, and Mr. Backer stated yesterday that he hopes the building will be ready for occupancy by December 1, next. This opera tion will involve the outlay of more than $5,000,000, not includ ing the value of the land. The plot has a frontage of 197.6 feet in Fifth avenue, 200 feet in Thirty-first street and about 164.4 feet in Thirtieth street. One of the features of the structure will be a large interior court. 33x75 feet in size, which will be placed in the middle of the building, facing east. Sommerfeld & Steckler, the architects, have prepared designs which call for a facade having stone for the first three stories, after which face brick will be used, the terra cotta to the roof. A pent house has been provided. This will have a set back of twenty-five feet and will be surrounded by a walk that wide. Just what disposition will be made of the pent house is still undertermined. There has been some talk of turning it into a club. Ten elevators will be installed, six of which will be for passengers, two combination passenger and freight and the remaining two for freight. The latter four elevators start from a loading platform, which will be located at the eastern end of the Thirtieth street side of the building.
