System Prepares For Dial Phones 1VIcKillop Telephone System held its annual meeting on Sat- urday afternoon in Carnegie Li- brary, Seaforth, with an attend- ance of 12 subscribers. Allan Campbell, Chairman .of the Com- mission acted .as chairman of the meeting and Wm. McDowell as secretary. The chairman expressed dis- appointment that the attendance was so small. The 'Commission especially wanted subscribers from the Clinton end of the sys- tem as they wished an expression of opinion whether they wanted to sell out to Bell or not. Treasurer J. M. Eckert re- viewed the finances in detail, stating they had $3,202.73 left to start the year, phis deprecia- tion reserve, materials on hand, etc. and '$1,000 .bond. The new cable north of Seaforth cost $7,479.74 f.o.b. It contains 197.5 miles of single wire com- pared with 108 in the old. Commissioner George Camp- bell said, "If it hadn't been for the dial phone coming in at Clinton we'd have some money on hand". He said moving cable near Clinton on highway and the new phone equipment there will cost about six and a half thousand, he estimated. "In the Fall we will have no money left but we will have our lines paid and ready for dial", he said. He said the lines have to be moved from the "V" to the 7th. "Walter and I thought if we sold the top end to Belland keep this end we would come out all right, We thought we should raise our rates $2 but we decided to leave it," Mr. Campbell said. Asked if the old phones could he sold, he said they are just' junk as most systems are going to dial. It was jokingly suggest-, ed to use them as an extension at the barn. Commissioner Walter Scott said it didn't look like Bell would be a .good buyer, however it might be good business. It was l his belief Bell would only buy the Clinton end. "Our financial condition is going to get worse as we go along, e " he said. The cable used up our reserve. Rates are going to have to be raised next year.' If other systems can run for $33 per year, we can for $28. : This time next year we will know how much we have to raise our rates. We have three I thousand dollars in the bank, our bond and supplies on hand and everything is paid for but we will have to borrow money to carry on this year," he said. Asked if Clinton end will have to be cable, he said part cable and part wire. Chairman said the Commission estimated the cable last year at $8,000. It cost $1,000 over that.; The reason was that the commis- sion figured Seaforth would be the next for dial and so had pat 51 pairs in the cable instead of 38, the whole way to the 2.'4;1 anile corner. "We might not use 52 pairs for five or ten years,` 'but we thought it good business to carry it through when we I could bury 52 pairs for the same cost as 38, he said. Lineman Jack Kellar said aer ial cable would cost 50 per cent. more than burying. The county was not ready to fix that road and the system is still ten feet on private property after the county takes their 17 feet. Archie Lamont's to end of ca- ble, also from there to Winthrop has had it, he stated, but the easements were taken right to Mr. Pethick's home and then it will have to go aerial. He went to the county engineer last wint- er and he said in 15 .or 20 years that bridge will go straight through. The Commissioners and be went to the Bell engineer at 'London and the system put up what is stronger than the actual need. The new cable is 784 feet shorter than the old, which paid for the river crossing, ditch trenching, hardware and creo- soted poles. Eleven good cir- cuits are in the old cable north and .they can get along for a while. They will put markers on the fence posts this summer to mark the new cable. "Give us four days notice before you start digging around the cable," Mr. Kellar said. If he were thinking of buying a system he wouldn't give 5 cents for Sea - forth end, but he wouldn't sell Clinton end. "Clinton is paying for this cable. Next 2 or 3 years this end has to carry Clinton end. If dial doesn't pay out of Clinton and then we are forced to put in dial her'e we are in a position to sell. We have 5 or maybe 6 circuits to add and we don't want to do that," he said, Tree trimming and pole replace - anent on the highway is now a headache with a tree trimming, expert and permission from the district engineer being required. Commissioner Scott said he hoped for an expression of opin- ion of the meeting about selling to Bell as there will be a later meeting. Mr. Eckert •said 'dial' isn't all sunshine. Mr. Lawson asked what you could do when you got 5 calls at 11 o'clock at night and nobody answered When you got to the phone.
