General Telephone Co. of the
I Southeast this month began a rc-
Ihablitation of its tclephonp facili-
I ties in the Hayti section of Dur-
I ham.
According to Chester L. Over
I cash. General's Durham district
commercial manager .the company
is investing approximately S31?,
000 to replace and rebuild siirfi
cient telephone facilities to provi.,;e
efficient telephone service to this
rapidly growing .southeastern sec
tion of Durham with exception of
the Urban Renewal Areas which
will be reworked at a later date.
The project, to be completed
.sometime this summer, involves
the placement of considerable feed
cr and distribution cable. Feeder
cable is a telephone term denoting
principal cable use to “feed” a
large area from a central office.
Hayti, one of the city's oldest
sections containing approxima'ely
20 per cent of the population, has
had a tremendous growth which
has far cxcccdod all previous fore
casts. Due to available land, it is
anticipated that this growth will
continue.
