Telephone Company Completes Local Study
Mr. Ed Hoover, district manager for the Iowa Telephone Co., told Moravia town council that the firm is engineering and budgeting for improvements in the area. He cited long distance calls rising from 500 to 850 daily, with direct dialing often exceeding Centerville’s ticket machine capacity. The plan includes cable lines to connect with Northwestern Bell at Chariton, eliminating operator interception and adding two switchboards within about three months to reduce delays.
