phone here in town I had two represcn ta lives from Bell Canada come in to discuss the issue with me however It seemed that they would not install a pay phone on any property other than private property which causes a bit of a problem The one location suggested was between the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Goodie t s Hardware Store But for security reasons a refusal was issued from the bank a head office I do agree that finding a location will be difficult because the sidewalks arc so narrow but surely there must be a location somewhere which is suitable stated Mr Crimes

Barnes explained that the representatives in charge of finding a location are presently In hopes of finding a location to serve the downtown core Rain didnt spoil the fun BY Mrs John That was a lovely
