ACS Opens New Phone Circuit In Alaska

SEATTLE, (P)-The Army Sig nal Corps Alaska Communica- tions System today announced the opening of long distance tele- phone circuit connecting central Alaska cities with those in the Juneau-Skagway area.
 It combined the ACS cables, the White Pass & Yukon railroad cir cults and the Alaska military highway telegraph facilities to make it possible for the first time for residents in Juneau, Haines, and Skagway to talk to Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seward and Whittier. It is the first time the army-con- structed Alaska Highway circuit has been used for commercial peacetime operations.
 As an example of the distances involved in connecting the isolated areas, the voice of Seward resi- dent will travel HOO miles to reach reach a Juneau friend.
 The ACS said "it is expected that the new telephone service 1 will show marked improvement in quality over the radio circuits, since fading and electrical phe- nomena, which frequently disrupt Arctic radio service rarely affect the land lines"
 Conferences have been held with authorities at Ottawa with a view to opening service between Anchorage and Fairbanks and Edmonton, Alta, via the military highway wires, thence to points in the United States and Canada over regular commercial facilities.
 Special attention is being given to developing such service be- tween Alaska points and the near by Canadian towns.
 The new long-distance phone program of connecting most of the large Alaskan communities by wire lines, and linking them with the U. s. and Canada. The others were the establishment of subma- rine telephone cable service be- tween Ketchikan and Annette Is- | land, Wrangell and Petersburg and Juneau, Haines and Skagway.
 Basic charge for a three minute daytime call from Juneau to Fair banks or Anchorage will be $3.6O. The Sunday and night rate will be $2.70 for three minutes. Rates do not include tax.
