Rehoboth for the Diamond State Tele-
phone Company.
Work was pushed so that the new
Office on Second avenue, south of Reho-
both avenue, would be operating be-
fore the beginning of the summer sea-
son, he added.
Gables that were placed contain
lines for new telephones. Additional
circuits in these cables will open up in
dividual lines for subscribers now using
party line service.
The expansion of the town and its
growing popularity are the chief fac
tors in back of the need for more tele-
phones and a larger telephone plant,
say telephone officials.

DOVER'S EXPANSION
PROGRAM is $4,000

Additional telephone wires in cable
and replacement of lines in Dover are
costing the Diamond State Telephone
Company in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
The new installation will furnish
more circuits for the growing tele-
phone requirements of the city. 1t will
supply additional lines for new tele-
phones and will provide for a better
arrangement of wires along Locker
man street. About 300 miles Of new
wire will be placed.
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-18


$4,000. All of the new wire is encased
in cables, which serves to protect it
from the weather.
One of the new main cables will be
installed along Philadelphia Pike,
north of the central office at Silverside
Road and the Pike. 1t will contain ad-
ditional lines for new telephones in
the northern section of the town. An
other cable is to be placed along Har-
vey Road as far as Arden for new tele-
phones in Arden.
The purpose of these improvements
is to provide new lines for growth.
The whole section is now expanding
rapidly and the Telephone Company is
anxious to have more telephone lines in
place before they are actually required.
Poles for the overhead cable are al
ready in place. The entire job is sched-
uled to be finished in the early fall.
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-18

The most modern devices are being
used in the work. A combination hole
digging and pole-placing apparatus is
serving to reduce the amount of labor
required. Very large crews that were
formerly needed to erect poles by hand
have given way to the fve-man gang
which operates the digger" as it is
called.
G. E. Marcus, Construction Fore
man for the Telephone Company, is in
charge. He is using twenty-five men for
the work. About two thousand poles
are being placed, 21OO reset and $500
removed.
