26. Collier Electric engineering data used by the Telephone Coin-
pany was not checked out by the Telephone Company's own independ-
ent field survey as is the usual practice. The Collier Electric applica-
tions were filed on February 21, 1956, while the Telephone Company's

identical sites proposed by Collier Electric, A. T. & T. proposes that
the former construct and maintain certain towers, dishes, reflectors,
power supply, auxiliary power supplies, loads, and other facilities at
the sites.

qualified and experienced telephone personnel operating from its main-
tenance centers at Prospect Valley, Colo., and Sidney. The personnel
will be the same that maintain the A. T. & T. transcontinental radio
relay route which parallels the proposed system. The Telephone
Company will also provide a telephone order wire connecting the sta-
tions at Sterling, Sidney, and Kimball with the maintenance centers
at Sidney and Prospect Valley.

service. These proposed rates will be the subject of an appropriate
tariff to be filed with the Commission if, and when, authorization is
received to construct the system. These rates are promotional and
shall remain in effect for a period of 1 year from the date on which
service is first supplied to the subscribers, with reasonable revision,
adjustment or extensions thereof to be made by Collier at the end of
1 year.

pickup service. This tariff became effective March 15, 1957, but is
now the subject of an investigation by the Commission in its docket
No. 11956. Under that tariff schedule the charges for service by means
of the proposed system including three channels, equipped to transmit
alternate monochrome and color signals, between Fort Morgan and
