X1775 TO: Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} D18/DL31.12.26. BJ writes as follows :- "Please report to me whether it is clearly under-stood by all departments at Derby that, should any-one wish to use the telephone for private purposes, before asking for the number they require, they should inform our operator that it is a private call. The operator will then make arrangements for the user to be charged for the call." Please let me know whether this is done as far as your department is concerned.
