Mr. McNeilThere were difficulties in regard to supplies of timber poles during the first nine months of 1949, but since then the position has steadily improved and present requirements are being met in full. Supplies of cable in 1949 were adequate, but there were some delays in actual delivery. These difficulties have now been overcome.
