For example, the cable plow shown above can lay 30 miles of cable a week to a maximum depth of 30 inches, leaving no unsightly trenches. Also, a imall new-type cable which carries several telephone lines has been developed. Of light, inexpensive construction, it strung right along side wires on pole Itnes. These new and improved tech niques helped make possible the in stallation of about 86.000 new rural •phones in 1955 in our nine-state area at a total cost of 16 million p dollacs. And there's still a big job to do. We'll spend over 18 million dollars in 1956 to bring even more telephones to farm folks who want and need them.
