MUNICIPAL "KICK Hl'KKAl"
Cleveland. March 17—Cleveland's
newest municipal innovation threat
ens to be a municipal telephone
complaint bureau.
The plan is before the city coun
cil with the support of City Ser
vice Director Sidlo. If succe.-sful,
the "kick" bureau will consjst of a
director and assistants who will
make it their business to ascertain
why ".Mrs. Smith tried to get Mrs.
Jones for two hours, when Mrs.
Jones was at homo all the time";
why "the line was busy when it
wasn't;" why "the operator wouldn'
give Mr. Smith's nickel back when
he didn't get his party" and the in
numerable other "whys" that occur
every .day. But the city will not
make it a point to criticise the
telephone company all of the time.
The municipal directors will probe
"Mr and Mrs. Subscriber" too, and
find out just who it is that was
wrong, and, if so, why.
