THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. May 30, 1901. 'Near-By Notes".--The Tabor Telephone company are branching out pretty extensively. They expect to construct a least 150 miles of new lines this season. The cost of the bare line--that is the wire and poles, together with labor in putting up--is $40 per mile, which will make their proposed lines cost them $6,000. This is not all the cost, however, as they will have to put in various fixtures that all cost money. An ordinary switch board costs $150, and new boards have been ordered for Glenwood, Silver City, Emerson, Hastings, Macedonia and Farragut.
