     237.34 Town telephone line outside corporate limits.  

    For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of section 
 237.33, any town may, by itself or in conjunction with one or 
 more other towns, construct, maintain, acquire, own, or lease 
 telephone lines, telephone equipment, or a local exchange 
 outside the corporate limits of such town.  The authority herein 
 granted to any town to acquire, construct, or maintain, by 
 itself, lines outside of its corporate limits shall be solely 
 for the purpose of connecting telephones inside its corporate 
 limits with a telephone exchange or switching center outside its 
 corporate limits.  The department may order any service to be 
 extended across any township line to any person or concern 
 adjacent thereto when, in the judgment of the department, such 
 person or concern is entitled to telephone service and the same 
 cannot be reasonably required of any other telephone company.
