SUMMERSIDE — Wilful da- mage to public telephone booths in Summerside has become a | matter of serious concern for | the local office of the telephone company whose men this mor- ning were replacing the equip- ment in booths directly in front of their office, and in another a block further east opposite Hol man’s store.

It is believed that drunks and youths are responsible for the damage, and on Saturday nignt two men mpting, to kick their way through the front door of the telephone office left the | scene at the request of police who were summoned by one of the operators who became alar- med at the actions of the would be intruders.

The telephone company had only last week installed mod- ern, colored phones in the booths in front of their office, | but in spite of the main street locations and the almost steady traffic passing these areas, the destructive - minded persons have so far escaped apprehen- sion or arrest for their actions.
