Administrative history
The Cascumpeque and Fortune Cove Telephone Company was established on 10 March 1910. This privately owned telephone company began with eighteen shareholders. Meetings were held annually in the Cascumpeque schoolhouse, where repair men and collectors for the telephone line tax were appointed. The company operated for fifty-three years and was taken over by the Island Telephone Company in 1963.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of ledgers from 1932-1954, which document the line expenses, financial reports, minutes of annual and director's meetings, line tax and a list of long distance calls made by telephone owners within the communities of Cascumpeque and Fortune Cove. The minutes and by-laws of the initial meeting in 1910, minutes of shareholder meetings (1911-1928), a list of receipts for expenses (1910-1931), telephone statistics submitted to the Minister of Railways and Canals (1915-1923), and correspondence from R.H. Rayner to the PEI government and the PEI Telephone Company Ltd. (1910-1923) are also included in the fonds. Four boxes of miscellaneous records including toll service statements, receipts, and invoices (1947-1955) also provide information concerning the Cascumpeque and Fortune Cove Telephone Company.
