PHONE SERVICE
FOR THREE TOWNS
TO Be IMPROVED
Work May Start In Month
For Milford, Magnetic,
Raymond Into Marysville

Improvement of telephone SER
vice between Milford Center, Ray
mond and Magnetic Springs to
Marysville may be completed by
the first of the year, if delivery of
necessary equipment is completed
by that time, James c. Horton, To-
cal manager, said this morning.
The improvement is designed to
permit telephone subscribers on
the three outlying exchanges to
call MarySville without having to
go through the long distance op-
orator. 1t will also increase by ap-
proximately so percent the num-
Der of calls which can be handled
at one time between Milford and
MarySville.
Part of the equipment for the
improvements has been here since
last February, Mr.. Horton de-
clared. The remainder of it has
been promised within the next sc
days by the North Electric Co., of
Gallon.
Actually this improvement was
scheduled for completion in 1941
but was held up by the war" Mr.
Horton said. Nov we are ready
to go ahead with the project ano
the material has been promised for
it,"
MarySville subscribers will still
have to go through the long dis
tance operator to call the three
other exchanges, until long-await-
ed improvements can be completed
here.
Prior to the war, a completely
automatic (diaD system had been
planned for Marysville, such as we
were able, to install in the other
three places" the Manager point
ed out.
However, the war came along
before dials could be installed in
Marysville, and it may now be as
long as another year before it
can be completed. Meanwhile, re.
pairs and additions will be made
to the present system as quickly as
parts can be ATTAINED to give local
subscribers the best possible Serv-
ice with present equipment.
The United Telephone Company
which operates the four exchanges
is also planning to put up addition
al lines between Marysville and
Raymond as soon as the company
can get to this work, Mr.. Horton
added
