 Votes Continued Telephone Expansion

The sugges- ton was made that heavy poles be purchased suitable for hang ing electric lines and the commit tee was asked to investigate the availability of such poles.
 Councilman Parker Lester, chairman of the telephone com- mittee, told members that the new switch board is nearly ready for operation. Lacking, is a leng- tn of necessary cable. Lester was authorized by the council to ne gotiate for additional field wire for the rehabilitation program in progress and to investigate the completion of the new board.

 City Fire Chief Joseph Gallant appeared before the Council and asked for a decision on the num- Der of fire trucks to be taken on fire calls outside city limits.
