The projects include: -- installing an initial remote switching centre for improved service and future growth. -- placing buried cable throughout the downtown core to modernize facilities. "This investment in Port Perry is part of Bell's $2.4 billion con- struction program for 1990," said Orma Lyttle, Bell's local manager for the Oshawa area. She added the Bell is substantial- ly increasing its investment to modernize its telecommunica- tions network. "This will help make us more efficient and con- tribute to keeping rates down." aaa From Page 8 fleeting and it was apparent that political fatigue had set upon me.
