Show New 'Phone, Building for' Milford Sure The Mountain States Tele- phone Company is to build a new office building on the com- pany's corner in Milford. The News was thus informed by the local manager of the company, Mr. Rupert. This decision was reached as a direct result of the investigations made here this " week by the high officials of the corporation who spent several days going over the local sys- O tem and in also investigating the business conditions and prospects. Will Remove Poles From Main Street Another improvement which will be good news to Milford is the order to be made to remove all the poles from Main street and replace them in the alleys hack of the business section. This will add greatly to the appearance of the business section sec-tion of the city and be an advantage in many ways to both the city and to the company. The New Building The plan now is to erect a one-story one-story brick office for the exclusive use of the telephone company and its employes. The old building is to be either wrecked or removed to make way for . the new structure. The specifications, we are informed, call for the completion of the new structure struc-ture before cold weather this Fall. . Rates Will Be Raised The News is informed that Milford is the only place of its importance in the State of Utah which has the rate of $3.00 for business phones. The company proposes to raise'-the business busi-ness phone rate to $3.50 per month, with perhaps a rate of $3.00 for a two-party business line. While this part of the program will naturally not be as popular with the business public as the plan for improvements of the property and service of the big corporation, it is claimed that the company can show7 conclusively that it is just. Milford will be the distributing dis-tributing point for telephonic conversation con-versation for most of southwestern Utah as well as for other supplies.

Burgess, vice-president vice-president and general manager; F. H. Reid, assistant general manager; A. H. DeNihe, district general manager, man-ager, and S. J. Jones, district manager. |
