facilities are expected to be in
operation early in 1856.
These additions to the present
network are the second step in
plan TO lace the entire AGE
System with microwave COM
municationS. AS the System has
grown in recent years, there has
been an increasing need for
more and more communications
channels.
Microwave has provided those
channels, which are within the
range of extremely short wave
lengths. The microwave beam
travels along a narrow path
instead of spreading out in all
directions as a signal from a
broadcast station does. Micro
wave, like a searchlight beam, is
restricter to line of sight. Be-
couse of the earth's curvature, it
must be relayed from towers not
more than 35 miles apart.

columbus, and another section
will be extended southwark to
Muskingum River plant, north
of Beverly.
Microwave provides Ohio Pow
er with many communications
channels, not merely for voice
but for all types of signaling and
control. Each voice channel can
be used for 18 signaling func-
tions, such as telegraph, tele-
metering, load control and other
functional operations.
The additional facilities to the
west will link Canton to Newark
and to the American Gas and
Electric Co.'s System Production
Coordination Office in Colum-
bus. That project will cost about
$107, 900.
The westward extension will
take off from the Bloomfield
repeater station near Cambridge
because of its greater height and
more advantageous location. A
terminal repeater will be install
led on Bald Knob, southeast of
Newark, 80 miles from Bloom
field. A terminal station will be
erected l9 miles away at Colum-
bia Center, midway between
Newark and Columbus, and
voice communications will be
extended to Columbus by wire
lines.
The southern "leg" of the net
work also will originate at
Bloomfield with the repeater
station being erected at High
Hill, Is miles away Terminal
facilities will be built on a hill
a mile and half north of Musk
ingum River Plant, adjacent to
the coal conveyor. Cost Of this
section will be $67, 900. Tele-
phone facilities will be extended
from the terminal station to the
plant along a coal conveyor
structure which leads to the
plant.
The southern extension of the
microwave system will permit
Muskingum River plant to be
tied in with existing communica-
tions in portions of the Ohio
Power and American Gas and
Electric systems which now are
not available to the plant. AGE
is Ohio Powers parent company.
When the extensions are COM
pleted, there will be three two
way microwave circuits between
Canton and Columbus, three be-
tween Canton and Newark and
three between Canton and Mus
kingum plant.
Construction of the towers
and buildings Of the new exten-
sions is expected to start in mid
September, and electronic equip
ment will be installed during
December and January. The new

MTA REQUESTS
 ADDITIONAL FUNDS

Robert Partridge, Matanuska Telephone Association coordina- tor, this week stated the associa- tion board was requested to sub init an application for additional funds in the amount of $110,000 to the Washington office of Rural Identification Administration. This additional amount brings the total request to about $700,- 900, he said.
 The increase was requesed by REA because the valley-wide system is alrady grater in size than originally anticipated. As soon as preliminary work is com pleted in Washington, funds will be released and construction of the system will get into full swing, Partridge stated.
