Bell crew severs cable, cuts service LISTOWEL — Long distance calling from half a dozen Bell Canada exchanges was limited for 41/2 hours last Thursday after a Bell Canada crew inadvertently severed a telephone cable, Jim Scott, local Bell Canada Man- ager, said today. The 'affected exchanges were Listowel, Atwood, Monkton, Harriston, Mount Forest and Pal- merston. The Independent Com- pany exchange of Drayton was also affected. Side effects were felt for a limited time in the Wingham and Walkerton ex- changes, Mr. Scott said. The damage was caused along- side a regional road located be- tween Highway 85 near Waterloo and the Village of Heidleberg. Bell crews were plowing and laying cable for rural phone im- provement, between two rows of long distance cables on the north side of the roadway. An under- ground splice loop had no'. been identified on Bell charts and the plow cut the loop. Mr. Scott said an above -ground pedestal marked the location some years ago but was removed because the adjoining property owner wanted to do some drive- way work. The substitute splice loop was buried without being re- corded in the cable locate files. Mr. Scott said that in the af- fected exchanges, from about 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., subscribers could make local call and tam distance calls between most of the six exchanges, but were un- able to make long distance calls outside of the affected area.
