Two cables run about 38 inches deep with small copper wires added as static suppressors. Cable spools weigh four to five tons. Northwestern Bell building expansion progresses, delayed steel frames noted, and Western Electric crews expected to install. Connections will be supervised by the telephone company with a trench planned on Avenue for linking.
