MTA SEEKING 240
NEW SUBSCRIBERS
The Matanuska Telephone As
sociation has set a goal of 240
additional telephone subcsribers
in the MTA system during their
membership drive, Eugene Reed,
MTA president told Chamber of
Commerce members at their
meeting this week. He pointed
out that the system is now hold
ing its own in regards to income
and expenses, “But,” he added,
“when we start paying on our
loan we will be hard pressed. We
need the additional members and
need them now . . . we must either
sell more telephone service or
raise rates. The latter is not a
popular way to obtain more mon
ey. It would be of. the best in
terest of all to have more tele
phone users and those who now
have the service should sell their
neighbors and friends on the
idea of subscribing to the ser
vice. We do not consider a tele
phone an expense,” the MTA
board member pointed out, “rath
er we consider it a good invest
ment from which subscribers re
ceive a return each month”.
Max Clements, MTA manager,
also told the group that payments
on the RTA loan can be met all
right for the fiscal year of 1958
but that the first quarter in 1959
payments jump in size and the
amount needed can be available
with the help of community sup
port through subscription to tele
phone service. He stated a recent
study shows a potential of 130
persons in the Palmer area alone
whom the board feels should
have telephones. Their support
will be needed during the next
year to meet the debt service, he
pointed out. The MTA will con
tinue to contact various local
groups for help in the member
ship drive, he added.
Dr. and Mrs. C. C. Bailey and
children have gone to Texas for
a vacation. They expect to be
gone about one month.
Yvonne Alford of Palmer has
accepted the position of secretary
in the office of the city clerk.
She started her new duties on
Wednesday of this week.
