Tri City Beach Phone Service Is Improved
Residents of the Tri City Beach area in West Chamberg county may gain greatly expanded telephone service by midweek if weather holds. General Telephone plant superintendent J B Cummings said 1,250 feet of cable is being sunk eight feet under the bayou near the bascule bridge across Cedar Bayou. Forty thousand feet of cable were installed to serve Chambers area, with 34,000 feet completed for the current expansion. The crossing of the bayou was the major hurdle, and after installation begins in homes, rural service will be replaced for many round the year and summer residents along the shore. Weather delays could push the schedule back a few days.
