Subscribe to the Plaindealer Want/Ids McHenry Area To Receive "Ciiy" Type Phone Service Residents and business people in eight separate outlying portions of the McHenry area, will recieve '^city" type telephone service Without extra charge beginning May 16, under a proposal submitted to the Illinois Cominerce Commission last week. The announcement was made today by G. L. Wilburn, manager for Illinois Bell Telephone company. Principal ' areefo affected include Pistakee Bay, Piataqua Heights,,a portion of Johnsburg, and a large unincorporated area extending along the banks of the Fox river northeast, east, and southeast of McHenry. All subscribers involved have already been contacted by Illinois .Bell Telephone company. At present subscriber* in these areas are offered "rural" service, and share the line with a minimum of seven other telephone users. Many have chosen to take urban service by paying a special monthly charge for the extra cable required to give them "city" servioe. With extension of the company's base rate area, all residents now would receive urban service automatically with mileage and other special charges being eliminated. "Technically, what we will be doing -- if the Illinois Commerce Commission approves our proposal -- is extending our present base rate area to induce these new sections which have grown so tremendously in recent years," Wilburn said. He pointed out that many of the residences in the areas affected which once were summer homes, have now been converted to year round use. City' telephone service comes as a partial result of a gigantic expansion of this area's cable system which is still in progress. Ov£k 4,900 miles of Wire will have 'been added to the existing Thursday, April 22, 1954 Communications network of telephone communications when the job is completed within tfi% next few weeks. "Work like this is an integral part of providing good telephone service," Wilburn said. "And projects like this are going on -- not only in McHenry, but all over the state. Almost $95,000,- 000 will be spent by the company this year alone on projects similar to the ones in progress hefo." lb The Plaindealer Dft. HENRY FREUND OPTOMETRIST At 136 S. Green Slreel.
