Lineman relocation ordered by Railway Commission
The state railway commission filed an order requiring one of Surprise Telephone Company’s linemen to move from Surprise to Shelby to improve toll routing and farm-line service. Engineer Couch found poor routing and line faults due to linemen living far apart and not reaching Shelby, with a June 1 rebuild deadline or a hearing and higher salary implications. Uncle Martin Newcomer, on his 78th birthday, hosted a large family gathering with a lavish dinner in his honor.
