HTA MAKING PLANS FDR EXPANSION
Earl Sisk, REA engineer, is ex
pected in Palmer next week to
work with the Matanuska Tele
phone Association directors in
preparing for a supplimental
construction loan which will be
used in expanding the telephone
system, Lew Hanks, MTA presi
dent, said this week.
Hanks stated that expansion
will be located wherever needed.
“This is the time for those who
haven’t yet signed up for service
to do so”, Hanks said. When
signing for service the $10
membership fee must be paid.
Equity costs o£ $40 may be paid
at that time or arrangements
made for regular payments over
a set period of time. Hanks stat
ed it is important that those- de
siring service notify the business
office immediately so they may
be included in the expansion pro
gram. “There may still be a few
I spots around where it is not
practical at this time to extend
service. However,” he said, “we
cvill provide service to anyone
and everyone, wherever and
whenever possible”.
The system was built to handle
900 customers, with a potential of
from 1400 to 1500 members. At
the present time there are 634
telephones in use. Of these 471
are located in the Palmer ex'
change; 56 in Wasilla; 30 in Sut
ton and 76 in Chugiak.
A recent decision of the MTA
board of directors will provide
the service of two telephone lines
to the Valley Presbyterian Hos
pital. The hospital will be charg
ed for only ‘one line. This special
provision was made to the hos
pital to make it easier for the
public to reach the institution in
case of an emergency and as an
assistance to the hospital in their
overall cost of operations.
