Cable Strung To
Crabtree School; 31
Phones Already
Installed
Installation of telephones in the
Crabtree-Iron Duff area are going
in at the rate of four each a day,
it was learned Monday morning
from J. Lovell SniRh. district man
ager of The Southern Bell Tele
phone Company.
The cable work is completed to
the Crabtree school, and phones
are being installed in homes by a
crew of 12 men. There are 31
phones already in use in the area,
and about 130 more to be connect
ed, Mr. Smith said. "At the pres
ent rate, we will be finished in the
area in 40 more days," he con
tinued. Applications are being accepted
at the office in Waynesville for
additional telephones along the
route, it was explained.
The large cable which was
strung from Lake Junaluska to the
Crabtree school, is large enough to
handle all of the Crabtree-Iron
Duff area, and with the view ot
carrying the Fines Creek load, Mr.
Smith said, as he hastened to add.
"The Fines Creek project is yet
indefinite."
The service as now planned, will
terminate at the Glenn Palmer
farm, on highway No. 209.
In many instances, extra lines
are having to be run from the cable
to the homes, which slows down
some of the installation work, he
said.
When work started on I he pro
ject last fall, the estimate of co l
was set at $86,000. Mr. Smith said
that while the job was not complet
ed, it appeared Uiat-Uu-' co:;!s.-would
be at least the estimated figure.
