"Despite the restriction to

phone equipment for as long
as our supply lasts" Richter
said. Wll also continue to
offer refurbished sets for
some time. It may take
several months before we run
out How long will depend on
the demand we have for
telephones If Southwestern
Bell does not have equipment
requested by a customer the
customer will have to get it
from another vendor."
The ruling restricting
Southwestern Bell's equip-
ment offerings has no direct
link with the recent settle-
ment of the government's
antitrust suit against the Bell
System Richter said. But he
said the equipment ruling is
"tho first vlsiblestep" In a
series of changes leading up

Ironically the Bell Street
Crossing was discussed at the
October meeting of the
Bartlett City Council. The Ci
ty Council voted at that
meeting to apply to par-
ticipate in the 1983 Federal
Railroad Signal Program
which If approved will allow
the MKT Railroad to install
crossarms at the Bell Street
Crossing Presently the
crossing is unlightcd and has
no warning bells or
crossarms
The Missouri-Pacific
freight train involved in the
collision closed all Bartlett
railroad crossings for about a
half hour after the accident
and did not move on its way

over two hours after the acci-
