Long Branch Seeks Ordinance for New Telephone Service
The Long Branch Property Holders Association asks City Council to pass an ordinance acceptable to the New York Telephone Company to enable aerial and underground telephone service. The deal includes pole sharing with Consolidated Gas, underground conduits, a $10 000 bond, and future express service to New York. The association argues modern service benefits justify the $400 dispute and asks councilors to approve terms acceptable to the company.
