This improvement will be due to a number of changes which the Home leiepnone and raegraph Company, whose local office is in charge of Thomas uavis, are preparing to make. At present the telephone wires to Bridgeton vare run alongside the Neusc river bridge. The company has made ar rangements to have a line of pilings driven across the river and run a cable line to Bridgeton, placing a heavy submarine cable across the channel. The driving of these pilings will consume about two weeks and the plac ing of the cable will' also consume. Beveraf days but Mr. Davis informed a Journal reporter last night that the work would be taken up during the next few days and -would be rushed to completion. -When the line is in operation the toll of ten cents which is charged at present for all calls to Bridgeton will be done away with the call being similar to a "city call". The work, of construction of the new building in which will be located New Bern's electric and water plant will begin within a few days. The con tract for this work was awarded to H. S. Hancock, a local contractor and builder and he has been delayed in be ginning operations until material could be secured. ' The finishing touches arc now being added to the building being erected on Broad srtreet by L. H. Cutler. The workmen are engaged in putting in the plate glass windows and the place will be ready for occupancy within a few days. "There's a Difference ASK YOUR DOCTOR Pepsi-Cola .For Thirst Thinkers.
