Restoration OF Phone
Services Shows
Good Progress
Much Construction
In Ruru! Areas
Must Be Done

Great strides have been made
toward bringing telephone ser
vice back to normal which was
disrupted by the most destructive
ice storm in the history of the
Telephone Company, stated ]. H.
Fleming, district manager for
Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
In Lexington and other Holmes
county towns practically all ur-
ban phone service except where
new cable is involved, has been
restored However. due to ex-
tensive damage to telephone lines,
extending far into the rural areas,
requiring a great amount of con-
struction work, in some instan-
ces little delay is unavoidable.
In addition to the regular
crews, many Southern Bell re
pairmen from Tennessee, Louis
lana, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida,
and South Carolina are working
feverishly from dawn until dark,
seven days a week in order to
bring all local and long distance
service to normal as soon as pos
sible.
"Your patience and understand
ing has contributed most effect
lively in aiding our repairmen in
doing a wonderful job of service
restoration" Mr.. Fleming said.
Should your telephone still be
out of order. you may be sure
that everything possible is being
done to restore it as promptly as
can be done. Meanwhile should
your long distance call run into
congestion or if you should en-
counter a delay or some other
unusual condition, your patience
and understanding are greatly
appreciated. Your continued CO.
operation helps all of~tas ~set-the
best job done for everyone, Mr..
Fleming concluded.

the Cruger taxpayers go mills.
In case school or road bond
holders do not want these bonds
retired until they come due then
he proposes to put this money in
a sinking fund so the bonds can
be paid off when thev come due

purpose. Eventually this will re-
suit in the district being put on a
sound financial basis, he said.

Foose Promises Tax
Reduction To Beat 5
Citizens Of County

The Advertiser is authorized to
announce the candidacy of S. j.
Foose for supervisor of district
S subject to the action OF the
Democratic Primary election in
August.
Mr.. Foose, well known bu-
siness man of Tchula, in making
his announcement today said that
if he was elected as supervisor
that he pledges himself to work
toward a general reduction OF the
bonded Indebtedness and lower
ing of taxes in the district. The
tax rate in beat is 5240 and in
Cruger is 48.l0.
Mr.. Foose said he had defin-
Ste plan to accomplish this re-
duction. He said that if the road
districts of Cruger and Tchula
were combined instead of being
kept separate as they are now
set up that a saving of from one
fourth to one third could be made
in maintenance costs.
In l949, the last year for which
complete figures are available
it cost $32,038.64 to maintain the
roads in district 5. This tax mo-
ney is derived from gasoline tax,
car and truck tags paid to the
county by the State Tax Com
mission.
Mr.. Foose proposes to stream
line the methods used to main
tain roads and give the citizens
as good or better roads than they
now have at a cheaper cost by
having one man to have charge
of the roads with crew large
enough to do the job well. he
pointed out that the present me-
thed of having two crews and tive
heads dates back to the days
when the roads were maintained
with mules. In this day of mo
dern machinery he said this wa.
unnecessary and results in a much
greater cost to the taxpayers thar
would result under his proposed
plan.
Mr.. Foose emphasized that beat
5 with l76 miles of roads is the
only beat that has Two complete
setups in the county even though
other districts have greater mile
! are to maintain. District l has
298 miles, district , has zoo ans
district has ESQ mills.
The Tchula candidate said tha
if he is elected supervisor he pro
