if the plan is adopted, long
distance charges on calls be
tween Kenans vllle-Rjse Hill and
Kenansville- Wallace will be dis
continued
W.5. Richardson, local ma
nager for Carolina Telephone,
announced that the company pl
ans to begin a survey by mall
among its subscribers In the
KenansviUe, Rose Hill and W
allace exchanges on Oct. 1.
1973. In order lo be counted,

change.
In order to pro ride this ser
vice, Carolina Telephone will
construct additional circuits be
tween Kenansville-Rose Hill and
Keruisvllle-Wallace and will
expand Its central office equip
ment in the three telephone
exchanges. To compensate the
. nagERH
ompany for the to vestment re
pjirfd for these additions and
he revenue loss incurred by
ilimi nation of long distance ch
arges between the towns, slight
ipward adjustments of local ser
rice rates for Kenansvllle, Rose
dill and Wallace subscribers
will be necessary when the ser
vice becomes effective
Because extended area ser
vice requires equipment desi
gned specifically for these th
ree exchanges, It will be app
roximately 30 months before the
new service can be put into
effect'
Previously EaS service was
extended to patrons of the W
allace and Rose Hill telephone
exchanges and later to the B
eulaville, Kenansvllle, Warsaw
and Falson telephone exchanges ?
If this vote Is
progressive step by the Chinese
of Duplin to provide better cocp?
mun(cation throughout the coun
ty- The amounts of the incre
ase in rates approved by die
State Utility Commission is to
offset Installation costs and re
venue losses, and will apply to
main line connections only. The
cost of extension telephones ?rSl
not be affected
Efforts to secure the inc
reased service in this ares
were initiated due to request!
from a large number of per
sons in the areas to be ser
ved. A favorable vote will be
one mure positive step by ci
tizens of Duplin in making this
area mure attractive for busi
ness and industry investments
which provide more job oppor
tunities and a high standard of
livingt <?,
Eventually. It is anticipated
that all telephone exchanges In
