Telephone Subscribers... The sleet storm has totally destroyed more miles of pole line and outside plant facilities than we normally construct over a period of several years, and it is physically impossible for us to repair all damage in a matter of days or even weeks. In order to serve the best interests of the community, it is vitally necessary that medical, fire and police, public utilities, sick and aged persons and toll lines to other cities be given top priority in restoration of service. If your telephone is not in working order, PLEASE REPORT THIS FACT TO THE TELEPHONE OFFICE, even though you know that someone else on your party line has already reported. We have no positive way of verifying that all telephones are back in service except by means of checking those which have been reported to us. Also, please report to us any case of sickness or other emergency and we will do our utmost to serve such cases first, wherever possible. Citizens Telephone Co.
