He also took the time to explain how the money spent in the last Five years will help improve the service to Kamas Valley residents. An REA loan made five years provided the money for the improvements. REA loans are low interest loans to telephone and electric companies in areas such as Kamas, and are used to improve the service to local residents. The new building, built in 1984, houses the new switching facility, which is described as a digital switching machine, is available. The new digital switching machine replaces an older, less accurate and efficient one. The company also buried phone cables and remodeled their old offices. The cost of all the improvements and changes has been about four million dollars. With the new equipment, maintenance costs will be less, there will be fewer problems, and the company has been able to stabilize costs, which means it won't require rates to increase dramatically in order to pay for repairs on old equipment. The Open House itself was held in order to show the public what has been done, and what it looks like, as well as to explain the purpose of the new equipment. Mr. Prince said a great many people had asked what was in the new building, so the Open House was to show people what they're paying for when they pay their phone bills, Mr. Prince also felt that outside forces were going to cause a rate increase within the next two years. He explained it would, for' the most part, be caused by government intervention with AT&T.

NECA is an organization that replaces long distance costs through a system which companies send money into a joint 'account', then money is paid from this account to companies that need it. Even won't though be getting much money from NECA, Mr. Prince says that "if revenues stay the same, there probably won't be a rate increase this year". The last rate increase was in 1980, and service is about 50 less than Mountain Bell's in is taken off the hook for more Coalville. which can print out drawings, Kamas-Woodlan- d Kamas-Woodland- 's The obvious question is: What is the purpose of all this work and planning? According to Mr. Prince, the long-tergoal of Kamas Woodland Telephone is to "provide the people in the valley with the best telephone communication that we (the company) can possibly give them". For the next 20 years. d Telephone exto give that able to be pects service. After that time, the cost of maintaining and operating all of the now new equipment will begin to increase dramatically, and the equipment itself will be outdated. Most of the growth in telecommunications needs in the past few years has come from the Weber Canyon area, where around 300 new service numbers have been connected. There has also been some growth in the canyons above Woodland and Samak. In personnel terms, the new equipment has had no effect on the number of employees of Telephone, m Kamas-Woodlan- - , k Kamas-Woodlan- d and its subsidiary company AllWest Communications, which employ about 55 people. The new building houses the switching system, which is selfmonitoring. The computer center is under very strict temperature control, and must stay within 65 to 85. There is a computer .

He also explained ' that the National Exchange. Carriers As-- t sociation (NECA) may cause rate ' . . which cools the room as necessary. It is into this computer center that 2400 cables from all over the valley converge. Each of these cables comes from a separate house or building with a tele-- . phone. A computer, is constantly monitoring the telephones .con- nected to these cables. If a phone than 20 seconds, the computer printer types out the unit nuinhei of the phone, and begins to mark If it is off the it as hook for too long, the computer sounds' an alarm, and the phone is recorded as being out of service. The new building also contains a garage, warehouse, and drafting center, which is used for designing and determining the location of new telephone cables. The drafting center has a highly advanced .drafting computer, maps, etc., for phone company use. Part of the improvement is an alternative power system which can provide enough power for the phones to function for as long as eight hours. After that time, the batteries have used all their store of electricity, and the generator would switch on. So, even though it is cost prohibitive, the phones could function during an indefinite power outage. In addition to telecommunications. the company handles the cable television system for the valley. Mr. Prince explained that the cable television system and telephone system are compatible, as they use nearly the same equipment to operate. There are 17 stations available through the cable system.

All those who worked hard to make the Open House possible were rewarded by the very positive feedback from the customers of the company. The company's former owner, Ward Blazzard of Kamas. was mentioned by Mr. Prince for his years of hard work in giving Telephone its firm base upon which to grow.

If you have any questions about the company, you could probably visit the office and ask them. Good luck to the company for all their future plans.
