The people OF Utah County will soon
be brought into closer relations both in
a business and social way.
The Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
Company announced July 2, that five
cent toll charge had been authorized to
take effect on or about August LIST, be.
tween the subscribers of the various
towns that have exchanges in Utah
county; and all calls TO non-subscribers
in any town in the county, rate OF 10
cents has been established. This is n
great reduction in former rates. and
the people of the county will be greatly
benefited by the reduction.
From business standpoint ii is GER
tainly much better to have q charge
made for all calls than it would be if
the service was entirely free, as it will
do away with much frivolous use of the
lines by children and the festive beaux
to have a charge, and merchants and
business men will be able to get the use
of the tines much quicker and oftener
than they would If there was no charge
at all for the connections.
The Rocky Mountain Bell Co. is to be
congratulated on their generous reduc-
tons, and our people should take ad-
vantage of the rates to subscribers, by
getting a telephone If they have not al.
ready got one in their house. The free
service between Spanish Fork, payson
and Salem will still continue as in the
past.
