telephone company that dial telephones will be in use in the georgetown district in 1 953 the company has purchased the old huston prop erty on main street and plans to tear down the present building and erect a modern one which will house the complicated equipment needed for operation of the mechanical dial system new cables will be laid in town and the tremendous job will begin next year of convert ing all present telephones to the dial apparatus the new system will have definite benefits in fas ter service plus an added factor for residents of glen williams who will have their country lines replaced with private and twoparty service from time to time there are complaints of delays in placing calls of poor connections and other minor annoyances which are bound to crop up in a manual system particularly when old equipment is being used business firms par ticularly will be glad to have faster service however there will be some regret too when one thinks that most of the present
