"Bradford 'Phone Users Can Play Important Part in Changeover
Bradford telephone users can play an important part this weekend in ensuring that the change to dial service is completed smoothly. C.E. Blosdale, Bell Telephone manager for this community, asked subscribers not to place "curiosity calls" or other unnecessary calls at or near cutover time. The changeover will be made shortly after 3 a.m., Sunday - a time when the volume of calls being handled by the local exchange usually is light. A few minutes before that time, operators in the manual exchange will start asking persons placing calls to hang out and try again a few minutes later, using the dial. The change is expected to take less than two minutes to complete."

Municipality : Community : Holland Marsh Lot : Concession : Description : There is another component to the proposed work on the Holland Marsh and that is the life-safety aspect. This is to address the deaths and near-fatal accidents that have occurred on the winding, narrow and dangerous Canal Road. Right now there is a preferred $11.935 million option to the other $17.8 million option. This option would relocate most of the canal, dredge the remainder, and install two guide rails in two areas. This option also won't widen the roadway but will create a 10' wide shoulder to provide a comfort level between farm vehicles and commuters. Once the issues of approvals and funding are cleared up construction can begin and will take an estimated 7years to complete.
