OF CITY SYSTEM

KERNEL

The University of Kentucky will
soon have a private telephone exchange of its own which will connect
all buildings on the campus, with the
exception
of the men's dormitory,
with a central switchboard which will
be placed in the present location of
the Stenographic Bureau on the first
floor of the main building.
The
Stepographic Bureau will be moved
to the offices in the southwest cornor
of the Basketball Building.
It is
thought that the new system will be
ready for operation by June 1.
ihe mam cable comes from the
point on Winslow street where the
power transmission lines enter the
university grounds to the Administration building.
From that noint
connections will be run to all the
other buildings on the campus, by
means of underground cables.
An
underground cable will also be run to
the Experiment Station, tho tolo..
phones of which will be controlled by
the university exchange. The present
exchange of the Experiment Station
will be removed.
All calls will be
handled
by the operator at the
switchboard in the Administration
building.
The cables are being placed at an
approximate depth of 27 inches under
the ground in three inch Orangeburg
fibre conduits, encased in concrete. It
will make for better service to all
departments and will improve the appearance of the campus by doing
away with all telephone poles and
overhead wiring. The conduits are
being laid by the department of Buildings and Grounds of the university.
The Fayette Home Telephone Company is laying all the cables and is
making the connections in the buildings.
