stance there was to T im eus' accusations. The
whole incident has been reg rettab le and the

The most expensive project,»
which has already begun, places?
an underground cable between
Langlois and Bandon. This cable
will connect with the Bandon-
Coos Bay microwave system to
furnish reliable long distance
circuits between Langlois and
the Coos Bay toll center. These
circuits will be placed in s e r­
vice coincident with the new
Langlois Central Office, the
night of Jan. 20, 1968.
Another project underway
places aerial cable south on
Highway 101 to 11th Street in
Bandon, east on 11th to Rosa
Road, then south on Rosa Road
to Auction Road. Burled cable
will be placed on J. J. M orris
Road, east of Highway 101.
Existing facilities are being
augmented with buried cable on
Highway 101 from the Ranger
Station to Croft Lake Road.
The third project calls for
burled cable along old Highway
42 from Bear Creek Road to
Lampa Mt. Road, and south
for one-half mile on Lampa
Mt. Road.
Th» fourth addition will burjfc
cable on Riverside Drive and
Highway 101 north to Seven
Devils Road and north on Seven
Devils to approximately two and
three-quarter m i l e s beyond
Randolph Road.
The local exchange cables
will allow the company to re­
duce rural lines (10 party) to
a maximum of five parties per
line. There will also be ad­
equate facilities for those de­
siring higher grades of service
and provide for future service
demands.
