HL «‘The first wires were placed underâ€" ground in the city in 1884 | _ C _ Active Period ‘ Up uttil 1900 there was only one central office in Washington, but, on Deeemfiv 12, 1900, a second such ofâ€" fice was opened, there being at that time 4.126 telephones in the whole city. Then began a more active period with several new exchanges being inâ€" stalled. «Many people believed that the peak of this telephone developâ€" ment was reached during the World war‘ when â€"there was a very heavy demand for telephone service, but it is a itact that there are now fifty per cent more telephones in service in the city than at any time during the war. During the last ten years Washingâ€" ton has gained over 75,000 telephones, which is more than it gained in all the preceding forty ‘years.‘ GROW FROM 50 TO 130,000 Rapid Increase in Number of Instruments In Use For Government Purposes ' In Washington _ Those fifty telephones.of 1878 have since grown to over 130,000. In the early days, however, so skeptical were many people of the new invention that an offer was made to the public to install telephones on trial. This scheme worked .out fairly well, and, by 1880, the number of telephones in Washington had reached. about 400 The first interâ€"city telephone line out of .Washington was established in 1883, when on July 25, communication was opened between Washington and Baltimore. The number of telephones in Washington was then 896. During theâ€" eightâ€"year period between 1885 to 1893, only about 100 telephones per year were gained in the nation‘s capital.
