The plan calls for the furnish- ing of one and two party dial ser- vice for both the Village of Grant- on and the rural area served from that Exchange. Toll free calling will be provided to Lon- don, Ilderton, Lucan, Thorndale, St. Marys and Kirkton.

If the customers reaction is favourable, and approval is given to the system to go ahead with the plan, it is expected that construc- tion on the cable plant and ex- change will commence shortly.
