that individual regeneration is necessary be-

said. " demands all the acumen that we can
spare. and therefore we should recognize all

TELEPHONE RATES.
TO TELEPHONE SUBSCRIBERS
IN MANHATTAN;

IN MANHATTAN:
The New York Telephone Company
has adopted new schedule OF rates for
telephone service in Manhattan-rang.
ing from 600 local messages year for
$15 to 4, 800 local messages for $22s-
| and has modified in some respects the
conditions under which the service ID
furnished.
1t therefore becomes necessary to
make a new contract with each sub.
scriber desiring to accept the new rates
and conditions.
In making these new contracts II has
not been found practicable to do other.
wise than follow in general the method
hitherto observed when reductions in
rate have been made, viz, to make n
superseding contract under the new
schedule only Mt the end Of the current
annual term of the existing contract.
No previous reduction Of rate, how
ever, has affected so many subscribers
at one time as the present one. Conse-
quently a modification OF the former
practice has seemed proper, in order
that all subscribers 1rho make ne,D con-
tracts may fracticaliy secure the benefits
of the ner rates from May 1St, 1899. To
| accomplish this the following method
will be observed:
The new rates will be offered to each
present subscriber at the expiration Of
his current contract year. If a contract
! under the new schedule is made in ac-
cordance with such offer, and the ad.
vance payments required by the old con-
tract have been made, an allowance will
be made to the subscriber of the differ
ence between the old and the new rates
for the number of local messages covered
by the old contract for the period be-
tween May I, $780, and the date OF the
new contract. The amount allowed
under this rule in any case will be placed
to the subscribers credit on account Of
his new contract. In all other respects
the adjustment of the account under
the old contract will be in accordance
with the terms of the contract and OF
the old schedule.
If the subscriber so prefers, a new
contract under the new schedule will be
accepted to supersede the old contract
before the expiration of the current con-
tract year, the superseding contract to
take effect at the end of the current
contract quarter, but in this case no
additional allowance will be made
from the requirements of the old con.
tract.
A fiat rate contract may be superseded
at the end of any month by a contract
under the new schedule. or the total
number of fiat rate subscribers at $240
year, it is estimated that about one
half, say l ,250, can obtain a reduction
of rate by taking service under the new
schedule. These subscribers are in
vited to investigate the matter, and to
arrange for contracts on such basis an
may seem to them most advantageous.
WHEN ANNUAL TERMS UNDER
THE EXISTING CONTRACTS ARE
ABOUT TO EXPIRE. THE SUB
SCRIBERS AFFECTED WILL BE
ADVISED, IN ORDER THAT THEY
MAY TAKE STEPS TO SECURE
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE NEW
RATES AND RULES ABOVE MEN.
