President Lamber Miller re
ported to stockholders in the

Major additions in areas

Total number of telephones
in the Sunnyside system more
than doubled during 1966

At year end, 10,021 telephones
were in service, a 12-month

Sunnyside system.

for 1966 was $101.040 or 15
cents a share (based on aver

DETROIT — On March 3,
1967, the Forest Service held
a timber sale to remove an
estimated 100,000 board feet
of timber from Hoover Camp
ground on the south side of
Detroit Reservoir. The pur
pose of the sale is to thin the
existing stand of thick young
timber. The thinning will
permit more sun in this cool,
damp area, and permit better
air circulation. Some road
right - of • way will also be
cleared to allow expansion of
the campground.
