As a result of a request from Councillor Clarke to have :t
telephone booth installed on the south west corner of the
Newtonville Road and Highway 2 in NewtonvIlle, Please find
attached information from Bell Canada xegIrding this matter,
The property on the south west corner is owned by the Regional
Municipality of Durham, and in speaking with the Land Acquisition
Department at the Region, we were advised that theKe pre no iqqedla,te
plans for the use of this property, and If Bell Canada Were to
apply to the Region, there should be no problem in processing
this application.
There is no charge to the Municipality for the installation of
this telephone booth, however, in the event that the proceeds
from the booth do not meet the Monthly costs of the seyyicep,
it is quite possible that the Town of Newcastle would hqye to
assume the hydro charges which would tQtql about $5.00 per month,
We would respectfully recommend to Committee the following;

the installation of this telephone booth.
2. In the event the telephone booth does not meet its Monthly
costs that the Town of Newcastle will assume the Hydro
charges as a service to the residents of Newtonville,
