Gable Cutting Causes Damage Accidental cutting of telephone cables by homeowners and contractors is always a public headache and often a serious threat. In the first nine months of 1964, more than 100 state area cables have been cut, knocking out more than 15..000 phones, according to Illinois Bell Wire. Chief T. P. Kofien. "The real danger to public safety is when phone service is disrupted to police and fire department, hospitals and other essential agencies," he said. "And the danger is increasing as gardeners and contractors rush their fall yard and excavating projects," he added. These public inconveniences can be avoided if prospective diggers would call their local telephone repair service. Cable routes will be pointed out at no charge to contractors or homeowners. There are 20 million miles of underground wire throughout the state.
