The Citizens Telephone Company will take charge of the property of the Brevard Telephone Company and the operation of its lines on the first day of April—Friday of next week.
The new company will operate under the name of the old until the new system is fully installed.
All material, such as cables, phones, and switchboard, has been purchased by the new company from the Western Electric Company, and a rush order has been put in. Some of the material will have to be specially made. It has been promised in from four to six weeks.
The new system will be installed to Southern Bell specifications and will be up-to-date in every respect, says J.S. Bromfield, president and general Manager of the company.
Mr. Duncan, chief engineer of the Southern Bell company, was here for three days last week, making a survey of the town and preparing blue prints.
At the last meeting of the Board of Aldermen an application for franchise was considered and a franchise ordinance passed its first reading.
