Phone Service Proposed for Mormon Lake Area
Residents of Mormon Lake and Marble Canyon may receive telephone service soon after Coconino County supervisors approved a franchise application by Arizona Telephone Co. State approval remains. County engineer Pat Syler reported plans to demolish the Badena office building for a land transfer to a private firm, hoping to salvage metal and glass. A new Sedona-area office and sheriff substation progress toward completion by late summer at about 100000 dollars.
