Telephone Company. is in receipt Of
Instructions from General Superin-
tendent g. p. Wainman, of Mime,

mencing April LIST, today, there is to
he a material reduction in the ra ties
Where rates heretofore have been
81 for business purposes, they will
hereafter be So, and for residences
which have heretofore been charged
SO. the rate will hereafter be 81 q
month. While this will no doubt be
very era tifying to the patrons OF the
local exchange it is also expected tn
greatly increase the number OF
subscribers both for Offices and
residences thereby greatly improving
the service and making the exchange
even more useful than it is at present
st. Cloud Times.
As the Little Falls line is under the
management OF the same company
it is probable that the cut will effect
the residence rate in this city. At
