Death of the old and birth of the new occurred at 4 minutes before midnight as several dozen citizens and telephone company officials watched a handful of skilled employes make the switch at a given signal. "" Manager Louis C. Kjar reported the manual board at the old telephone building on N. Main St. was quiet all evening, and as the midnight hour approached, monitors noted only two calls in progress. Operators asked them to hang up, wait a minute, and dial the new number, the board was cleared, the signal given, and two men with powerful shears snipped in a few deft strokes the thousands cf wires leading to every telephone between Murray and Point of the Mountain. Momentarily, every phone in the area was "dead." Then a whistle sounded, and 6 other telephone workers, at positions In the maze of new automatic equipment pulled wooden slats to which thousands of small, thin insulators were fastened by stout strings.Removal of the insulators made contacts between each phone line and the new dial equipment and the new system sprang into life. Almost immediately the line- finders began to click in response to dialed impulses, as residents rushed to try out the new system. By Monday morning, the system had settled down somewhat There were, of course, some "bugs" in the system, and telephone men answered many service calls Jo clear up minor difficulties. In general, however, Mr Kjar reported that the changeover was effected with a minimum of trouble.

Fifteen carloads of new cable and other new automatic equipment, went into the new system and the new building. The Mountain States Telephone Co. spent more than a million dollars in rebuilding the Midvale exchange. When the change went into effect some 450 customers automatically moved to a higher type of service, with many persons on party lines requesting private lines or lines with fewer customers. A number of telephone officials and their wives from Salt Lake, city and town officials from the area, and other interested citizens were present to watch the ceremonies, see the new equipment and partake of a smorgasbord provided by the telephone company. An "open house" was held at the new telephone building Thursday, and another will be held this Friday from 7 to 10 p.m. All telephone subscribers have been invi'ed to come to the building and have the new equipment explained to them.
