Mr. Weiler stated that since the last meeting with the Commission the fol­lowing developments have been made. Distribution lines have been run to Madsen Manor, Westleigh, Eastwood, Charleston Park, Jubilee, Rancho Circle, Rancho Road and Hyde Park. Madsen Manor is completely spliced and the majority of phones have been installed. The installation of telephones in Westleigh is approximately 50% complete.

Mr. Ben Kump, president of the Twin Lakes Home Owners Association, stated that this subdivision was without service and according to the schedule it did not appear that that would have it very soon. He suggested that the Commission institute action to have the franchise of the Telephone Company condemned. The Commission took the suggestions under advisement and the hearing was closed.
