mission by The Norfolk and
Carolina Telephone and Tele-
graph Company notes, Because
of the geographical location and
the unique development of the
Hatteras Island area the usual
plan for providing telephone
service is not practical and
therefore the following plan for
service has been developed
dividing the island into seven
areas to be served :. :"
The Buxton rate area, within
a radius of one and one fourth
miles of the post office at Bux-
ton, the Frisco rate area, within
a radius of one mile of the post
office at Frisco, and the Hat
teras rate area, within a radius
of one half miles of Bill Bur-
rus store, will receive the fol-
lowing classes of service at the
rates outlined:
Business telephones will re-
ceive one party service at a
monthly cost of $3.50, two par
ty for $1,000, four party for
$500, and multi-party service
will cost $500. Business extern
sions will cost $500.
Residence telephones will re-
ceive one party service for
$1,000, two party for $500, four
party for $500, and multi-party
for $500. Residence extensions
will cost $1.25.
The Utilities Commission also
defined, "That section between
the Buxton rate area and the
Frisco rate area; and the Frisco
rate area and the Hatteras rate
area shall be served with all
classes of main station service at
the Buxton exchange rate, plus
local exchange line mileage (sec-
ton 16, General Exchange Tar
iff) computed from the closest
rate area as defined above (BuX-
ton, Frisco or Hatteras).
The Avon rate area, within a
radius of one half mile of the
post office will receive four
party business service for $500
and multi-party business service
for $500. Business extensions
will cost So. Residence tele-
phones in the Avon area will
cost Sc for a four party line and
81 for a multi-party line. Resi-
dence extensions will cost $1.25.
The Waves rate area, within
radius of two and one half
miles of the Post Office, will
receive multi-party service only.
Business service will cost $500
and residence telephones will
cost $500. Extensions will be the
same as in other areas.
The balance of area on Hat
teras Island not covered by the
above defined areas will, where
facilities are available, or where
it is practical to provide facili-
ties, receive multi-party service
at rates of $500 for business
and $500 for residence, plus
mileage from the exchange of
flee building at Buxton.
All stations bearing the des-
ignation of Buxton except pay
stations are entitled to an un-
limited number of messages to
all other stations.
In addition to the new rates,
Hatteras Island will receive new
and better telephone service UNI
der a telephone expansion pro-
gram which is nearing compile
ton. The program, which will
affect other areas of Dare Coun-
ty, included an increase in pres
ent installations and additional
new installations on Hatteras
Island.
Presently the Buxton ex-
change, from which lines fan out
over the entire island, is served
by 100 pairs of lines. When the
new program is completed on
July first Buxton will enjoy a
double capacity with 200 lines.
Frisco, which has no tele-
phone service now, will receive
rs new lines while the seven
lines going into Hatteras vii
lage will be increased to IS
pairs. Additional cable is being
added in and around Buxton to
allow those who now have no
telephone service to- receive it.
The area from Buxton to Avon
now has two pairs of lines which
will be increased to rs pairs.
From Buxton to Waves there
is now only one line. Six new
lines will be added in this area
