Shortly after the inâ€" troduction of the new service new telephones will replace the present maznso type instruments and the familiar battery boxes associated with the present telephones will disâ€" appear, since electric current for operating the new system will be supplied by a single large battery in the central office. Â¥or T. ‘The new equipment will be of the | most approved manual type designed for a community of this size. The switczourd, "as planned by the Illiâ€" nois Bell engineers, will consist inâ€" itially of three sections but will be so constructed that as the demand. for telephones increases, the board may be extended to an ultimate of eight sections.> The original three sections will care for ‘present subâ€" scribers and for growth expected during the next few. years, after which sections will be added from time to time as required: To conâ€" nect Deerfield with neighboring exâ€" changes and with Chicago, the plan provides for ample incoming and i outgoing trunk lines, which may be increased as needed. The present equipment in Deerâ€" field is adequate to take care of reâ€" quirements for some time to come, but the:â€"recent revival in home buildâ€" ing and generally improving condiâ€" tions forecast a more rapid increase in population and justify the comâ€" pany in going ahead with the work at this time, which will give its erfield pt{'onl the advantage of t:hjxfnpmvtypc of service someâ€" at in advance of the actual need for new facilities. || Rev.
