When The franchise for the States was

Berkeley Including outside lines: their
least price for business phones was
$50. and this price held within one-half
mile OF Norfolk central Office. The
Southern states franchise did away
with one-haf and one mile rates. the
maximum rates being S3S for business
phones and SIS for residence phones.
These rates were charged to subscribe
ers who subscribed for one year at the
less. SO the rates stood about So for
residence and So for business phones.
The Bell Company had to meet these.
rates, which were less than half their
old rates. Now their loss is just the
difference between what they charged
before competition and after. Their
loss In this way was saved to the
rockets of the people. where 1t belongs.
Did the States make ANYTHING? Let's
see. They claim some 1900 phones
700 at $50 equal to sci 600: 400 at 500,
$40 900; their long lines or toll lines. say
S2.000--total gross receipts. $4,000.
They charged more, and therefore re-
ceived more. but we figure on the
thirty-three thousand dollar basis.
Sixteen thousand dollars should
maintain, leaving q. profit Of seventeen
thousand dollars, which is over 8 per
cent on 100000. But set aside $4,000
as surplus and you have $4,000, or 6
per cent on S2oo,ooo. But the plant
what did that cost? About $120 000 I
take 1t that the Bell should make as
much as the States per phone. They
