Bel Phone Co Plans Postwar Rural Expansion
Michigan Bell plans a 7.5 million dollar postwar rural program within three to five years after manpower and materials become available. Theodore H. Dawson says the effort will extend service quality and reach, create jobs for 3000 armed forces employees and more, and build on a prior plan for farm-line financing and rural installations. The program aims to use research and economical wiring. 75 percent of rural Michigan Bell territory families live along pole lines or near enough for service without major construction.
