Senter appeared before the Board and filed a complaint with the Board regarding Harnett County consisting of 6 or 7 different telephone exchanges. He stated that he would like to see the Count joined together with one exchange. Some Harnett County Citizens have to place long distance telephone calls in order to take advant age of the services offered by the County. Many of these citizens use the services of neighboring counties rather than place a long distance call to Harnett County. Mr. McCormick explained to the Board that it has been the idea of the Utilities Commission in the past for telephone exchanges to be established along the business interest rather than the gobernment interest. However, the Commis- sion has become more receptive to this argument and perhaps now is the time to approach the Commissions again concerning the disadvani ages of a County consisting of several telephone exchanges. The Board of Commissioners requested Mr. McCormick, County Attorney, tc study this matter and inform the Board of what steps need to be taken to solve this problem.
