Thus five operators I , can be on duty at one time, ' ind pl-ns call far increasng the number of operators from j the present five to 14 or 15. The larger switchboard and the , additional operators will per- i mit Installation of additional phones, as well as improvement : of service, Mr. McKelvey said. The cut-over to the commbn , battery service will require new telephones throughout the Franklin system, except where the non-crank phones are now in operation. Remodeling of the telephbne headquarters an the second floor of the West Main street ' Blaine building, to make room ; for the new equipment, already is under way. The telephone company, which is headed by H. W. Cabe, president, now serves 1,790 tele- , phones In Macon, Jackson, and Swain counties in this state, and Rabun in Georgia, and has exchanges in Franklin, High lands, Clayton, Sylva, Bryson ' City, Cullowhee, and Cashiers. Improvements and extensions are proposed at each of these points, Mr. McKelvey empha sized.

The present 46 stockholders, most of whom li.ve in North Carolina ard Georgia, will be given the first opportunity to buy the new stock, it was said, each st ck holder being permitted to b y as much additional stock as he ?now holds. The stock will te available to them on and after January 1. The Southern Bell company is one of the stockholders, but holds less than a majority of the stock, it was said. ?
