speak in regards to the telephone service.
(a) Jerry Jenkins was first to speak and explained that he had a
problem getting a dial tone and seven out of ten long distance
calls he would get a busy signal on the first try. With reference
to the phone books he mentioned they listed several towns but only
three can be reached from Sanger without toll. He would be willing--
to pay extra for service to Denton if we could get it. Also would
like push button phone service.
(b) Jack Hollingsworth stated that his phone bill was around
$1100.00 each month. He has constant problems with incoming and
long distance calls. These problems have existed for six or seven years
He has also been charged with calls that did not go through.
He has written the Utility Commission four times with no results
and feels this is a disgusting situation. He recommended that
Council write to the Utility Commission and head man at Kileen
regarding the problems discussed.
I(c) Mary Huston lives in the country and stated she had been
without service six times. When dialing direct she gets the wrong
numger. She has asked for wall phone and extention and because
of older home cannot get this service. Also has a lot of noise
on her line.

and out going calls. Has talked with phone company several times

through have problems hearing from his end because 'of a bad
connection. 'Mr. Forrest stated all telephone personnel know his
voice, he has called and complained so many times.

of telephone service by prewiring but charges had gotten somewhat
out of hand. Cornell requested the possibility of separate list-
ing in telephone directory or having our own directory.
