The expenditure will provide new
cables containing additional lines for
telephones in the city and new circuits
for Newport and Richardson Park. Ap-
proximately $500 miles of wire will
be placed enough to build two single
lines between New York and San Fran

Branches from this cable will furnish
additional circuits for a large portion
of the city.
The aerial extension to a present
cable is to be built toward the Marine
Terminal on the Christiana River. Ad-
ditional lines are to be placed in this
cable to provide for anticipated growth
in South Wilmington.
The work, which was begun in Janu.

PROGRAM IS $4,000

Additional telephone wires in cable

costing the Diamond State Telephone

$4,000.
The new installation will furnish
more circuits for the growing tele-
phone requirements of the city. 1t will

phones and will provide for a better
arrangement Of wires along Locker

$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.
