We understand from reliable
source that the exchange rental for tele-
phones for residences, will be reduced
to the extremely low figure of $500
year, should the company find suffi-
cient number OF subscribers to warrant
them in establishing lines for this special
purpose. This will be welcome news to

paid in monthly installments. Business
rates in future will be $500 per year
payable monthly.
