Nine
Dial Phones
Will Be Used
On Rural Lines
Salem's rural line telephone cus
tomers, one of the largest groups of
such customers served by nil tele
phone exchanges on the Pacific
coafit, are accepting rapidly the op
portunity offered by the Pacific
Telephone Sz Telegraph company to
change over to modern diul tele
phone operation.
Work preparatory for dial opera
tion of the rural lines served by
the Salem exchange has been un
derway f(r some lime, accordimr l"
District Manager Harry V. Collins
of the telephone company. Collins
said It Is Indicated a very large ma
jority of the rural lines will be on
a dint basis soon.
Rural linn customers own their
own lines and their own telephone
instruments, connecting with the
telephone company's lines u-suaily
nt the city limits. At present the
Balem rural lines all are of manual
type, and telephone Instrument,1! all
of the magnetic type. The new
dial type of service, Mr. Collins
Bald, will give ,the rural line cus
tomers the most modern and up-to-date
telephone service now avail
able. Telephone company representa
tives are meeting with rural line
customers for the purpose of dis
cussing the new type of service. Iti
some cases, It was pointed out, the
rural line users are planning to
strengthen and rebuild their pres
ent telephone lines, and In all cases
it will be necessary to exchange t he?
present magneto type telephones for
dial telephone instruments.
Features of the proposed dial
telephone service for rural lines, Mr.
Collins explained, Include improv
ed and better talking quality on
most lines; no necessity for special
batteries, as power will be furnish
ed direct from the Sttlein central
office, and automatic ringing, ra
Uier than the present hand-ringing.
Special central office equipment
will be installed in the Salem t
phone building to provide this i
type of service for the Kalcin rural
telephone line customers.
Already in Oregon the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph company is
providing dial service to hundreds
of rural lino customers in exchan
ges at various points in the state,
The improvement is being made In
line with the company's long estab
lished policy of giving all possible
cooperation to rural line customers
As a result of this cooperation,
which has taken the form of perio
dic inspections of lines owned by
the farmers, special farmer line
meetings and the testing and in
spection of telephone instruments
at open house programs, there has
been a substantial increase in the
number of rural lino telephones
throughout the state since January
1 this year, the increase being great
er than for any similar period in
the last 10 years.
For some time the Salem exchange
f has held top honors in the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph company in
the number of rural line telephones
served, and aa of October 1, this
number for Salem was 970.
