TO PLAT
CITY FOR
TELEPHONES
Pacific Company viii Make Extensive
improvements

E. B. Schonenbach, of the engineer
ing department of the Pacific Tele-
phone Company, is in the city, and
will spend several weeks making a
complete re-survey of the city for
the future guidance Of his company.
1t seems that the facilities of the
telephone company, like those of
the railroads and other corporations,
are wholly inadequate. The towns of
the entire Northwest have outgrowii
the capacity of the telephone peo-
pie to keep pace, and It is to right
this condition in Salem that Mr..
Schonenbach is here. He expects to
make estimates OF all the new fa-
cilities they will need in the next 10
years, and recommend an improve
ment that will cover the demands Of
growing Salem for that length Of
time. The first steps to be taken
will be a complete plat of every
street and alley, and this must in
clude all data up to date, and COW
ering as much contemplated work as
the city officials will be able to sup
ply.
The present cables, both under
ground and aerial, are filled, and
the first thing to be provided is
system OF new and additional cables
nearly doubling the present plant.
The switchboard room is nearly
filled, and further provisions in
this line will be made at once. The
most important part of Mr.. Schonen-
bach's work for the present will be
the making OF plans for getting all
the necessary cable and other under
ground work In shape on the streets
about to be paved before that work
is undertaken. When completed
this will give Salem a much more
perfect system, and in fact one OF
the very best on the Pacific coast.
