tem and secretary - treasurer
Reg Black said this week cut-
over might he made in mid-
December of this year rather
than the previously planned
February 1963 date,
However, he said that the
workmen were on a very tight
work schedule and it was pos-
sible that snags could hold
them back from the earlier
date. "One of our big prob-
lems is with the den'', of high-
ways and their work on the
bridge and the highway north_
of the Bend," he said,
"Our progress will depend
on how quickly they act," he
added.
He reported that 90 percent
of the cable work had been in-
stalled and the men would
start installing subscribers'
sets very shortly, Most of the
cables for the. system have
been placed underground to
avoid unsightly lines in the
summer resort,
Call tenders
The Hay group advertised
this week for tenders for the
construction of the new build-
ing to house the extensive dial
equipment that will be situated
east of highway 21, north of
the bridge,
The cost of the 30' x 38'
building is expected le run
around $8,000,00 to $10,000.00.
Black reported that materials
were already arriving for the
plant and would have to be
stored until the building is
completed.
The telephone system plans
to issue a second set of de-
bentures for $150,000.00 within
the next two months. The first
issue was for $100,000.00.
Black estimated that the
system would serve close to
600 cusomers at time of cut-
over,
