patrick of Honey Orove.
He told the group that the
telephone company was neither
‘for" nor “against” the ser-
vice, being only interested in
providing the type telephone
sendee the company’s patrons
desired
At the request of several
Honey Grove patrons the tele-
phone company made a pre-
liminary survey several months
ago and gave approximate rate
for the service.
To determine the exact cost to
each patron, a detailed study
would be required, Atchison
said.
> He said the company would
make the survey or study,
should sufficient interest in
the proposal be manifested to
where the City of Honey Grove
(without cost to the city) ask
for the survey.
He saad the survey would re-
quire 6-7 months to complete
and after the survey was made,
should the service be request-
ed, another 12-13 months would
be required to put the service
into operation.
Increaes over the present
rates have been estimated by
the telephone company as $2 25
for one party business; 50c for
1 party residence; 25c for two
party residence, and 25c in-
crease for either business or
residential extension phones.
Motion was made by D. R.

tion carried unanimously.

ham.

This is not a give-away pro-
gram.

seven counties in the area will
meet with the Fannin county

night tn move toward imple-
mentation ot the program.
Othe rcounties in the area
axe Grayson. Hunt, Rockwall,
Rains, Kaufman, Van Zandl

Hagemeier said Fannin

Economic Re - Development
Areas and were needed in the
area to make it work.
He pointed out that a cen-
tral office would be set up with
a director and office staff
He added the EDA would
help finance the budget for the
area with the member counties
being asked to share in the
costs on a population basis.
Hagemeier said that the
EDA could help build up the
economy of an area through
business loans to industries for
purchase of sites, buildings and
equipment; through the estab-
lishment of training programs;
making surveys to determine
availability of labor, utilities
and materials; making feasibil-
ity surveys for the industry to
determine if a site in the area
was suitable
The EDA office would be in
a position to help municipal
and county governments de-
termine through which federal
