     1.  Long Island switchboards are completely installed 
except for testing.  Cable is 95% installed and spliced and 
will be completed by 15 December. Telephones will be in-
stalled during December.  Long Island should be completed 
by 1 January.

      2. Wiring of switchboards and equipment at Chiniak is 
in progress and should be completed by 1 January. Narrow 
Cape is now being served with 15 thousand feet of field wire 
and approximately the same amount of subterranean cable is 
yet to be installed. This will be done next spring. Re-
maining 13,000 feet of 11 pair cable to Soquel Point now 
being installed and will be completed in two weeks. All 
other cable in Chiniak area is installed and spliced and 
has been in use for many months. BD 95 switchboards and 
telephones will be installed in this area during December 
and January. Chiniak area should be completed by 1 Feb-
ruary except for Narrow Cape cable.

     3. On Artillery Hill cable is 90 per cent installed 
and spliced. HDCP building will be completed by 1 January 
and cables now temporarily terminated in a shack will be 
half tapped and terminated in HDCP during January. Switch-
boards will be installed during January and February. Ap-
proximately 12,000 feet of subterranean cable remains to 
be placed on the Kizhuyak Point run in various locations. 
Loading and splicing of this cable will be done during 
December and January. All installations in the area feeding 
into Artillery Hill will be completed about 1 February with 
possible exception of Kizhuyak Point cable which may be de-
layed by freezeup.

     4. Miller Point area is last priority and will be 
completed after Artillery Hill.  Cables on Spruce Island 
are 75% installed and remaining cable will be soon as 
weather permits.  Some additional cable may be
required at Spruce Cape to serve AMTB installations.  A
26 pair feeder cable has been pulled in to replace the
original 11 pair and distribution cables will be placed
to the various components of the AMTB setup as soon as
all locations are definitely settled.
