Automatic Exchange For Quantong
A new automatic exchange was installed at Quantong near Horsham on Friday. It is among the first automatic exchanges west of Ballarat and uses Horsham as its parent exchange. The Horsham postmaster said Quantong is the only area fully automatic, with Horsham and Natimuk exchanges connecting outside cads. Subscribers have telephone dials like metropolitan units and dial numbers instead of party lines, which the change replaces. The postmaster noted the new system has reduced party lines, with the P M G Department taking over all district party lines formerly privately run.
