Re: Interim Construction Estimate
Gap Filer Radar Station Tobermory, Ont
Dear Sirs:
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of 11 September 1959 and the following enclosure:
Your interim construction estimate is satisfactory, however, we wish to point out for clarification that your responsibility with regard to communication lines is to report basically only the distance between the site and the nearest telephone facilities and the name of the central office involved. In this particular case, is the central office Tobermory or Wiarton? Your communications distance is reported as .51 miles. Should it not read 51 miles?
Yours truly,
(JW Griffith)
