View Exchanges Needed by Phone Company in City
Kiwanis luncheon speaker I Richard Harney of Southern New England Telephone says Bridgeport must add East Side and West End exchanges to relieve growing demand. Current 16 000-line capacity on Barnum and Noble exchanges has only 9200 spare. Plans include an East Side office near Berkshire avenue and a later West End station, with possible dial switching later. Harney notes cost of machine switching per line is higher than manual but offers refinement. most traffic center sits near Star Shirt factory on Washington Avenue. Base Fairfield rate explains cheaper local calls to Bridgeport and higher charges to Stratford to balance revenue. Wireless relation to telephone added in Harney's paper.
