Telephone Cable Progress Nearing Completion
Work on the telephone cable advances with plans to finish soon. William Long of Batont was here last week but couldn't return Monday due to high service demands elsewhere. The lead cable is spliced at the bridge and Goldbronson station, tested, and ready to connect to the switch board. Delay occurred because the 200 pair cable was short by about 40 feet. Locals are invited to watch the ongoing installations. The new equipment should improve local exchange service. Families J. C. McGlashan of Rydal joined the Maxton brothers to Belleville Saturday. R B Ward, a Belleville resident for 54 years, leaves for California via Idaho en route to Los Angeles, bidding farewell to longtime friends.
