A number of Improvements have
been completed at the local telephone
office the last couple of weeks, the
most important of which is the moving

providing room for an addition to the
board which will have to be made be-

ground is about completed and all OF
them now enter the central Office by
conduit. Manager Shea is to be com
mended for the satisfactory manner in
which the work has been done.
