Memo (No. 81, which was,spread on the minutes at page.209, Book H, Council Procedure) which explained a
proposal of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. to extend area telephone service i.e. direct sefvice to
Springdale by local calls instead of long distance.
Action was tabled on this proposal until this date in order to make a better study and to receive the
