WESTERN UNION
PLANS EXPANSION

w. r. Greene, local manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
announced receipt of decision TO pro-
ceed with immediate construction of six
additional rans-continental copper
wires from Pacific coast points to New
York and numerous additional wires
between principal centers in Washing
ton, Oregon, California and neighboT :
ing states. 1t is understood that the
new facilities touching the coast will
alone involve an expenditure of about
81. 000, 600 and add l6, 900 miles of wire
to the present plant, in addition to
new construction being favorably con-
sidered throughout the United States.
Belief is expressed in central busi-
ness circles that this investment in
essential trade facilities to the Pacific
coast is evidence of extensive plans
for resumption of normal business con-
ditions. as the Western Union system
of wires over eight transcontinental
routes is understood to be ample for
all present requirements of traffic run
nlng into millions of kilograms
monthly.
High Western Union officials in New
York said that while the new circuits
would possibly permit attainment of
further increase in speed. the chief
purpose Of the new wires is to keep
ahead of heavy telegraph business
which is expected t. result upon the
complete recovery of normal business
conditions and to meet the present
trend among commercial concerns to
carry on business at faster gait. 1t
is declared that this tendency has
diverted to the telegraph lines large
volume of communications formerly
sent by mail and that all construction
plans for the future are being esti-
mated accordingly.
