To READJUsT
PHONE RATES
Letter to Be Sent to Tele.
phone Subscribers as
Contracts Expire.

The Southern Bell Telephone ano
Telegraph Company eontemplates a
re-adJustment of its rates for ex-
change service in Pensacola An of
nclaI OF the company in speaking OF
the matter yesterday said:
In the year 1901, when there were
but 4S2 subscribers to the Pensacola
exchange of the Southern Bell TeIe-
phone and Telegraph Company the
present low rates were agreed upon
Tor term of FIVE and one-ha1f years.
This term expired in Move mDer
1906, about a year and a half ago,
and during all that time the teie-
phone company adhered to the agree
ment and made NO change in its
rates. Since the agreement was
made the number of telephone sub
scr1bers has increased to more than
LOO. A magnificent telephone sys-
tenn, equal to that in any city the
size or Pensacola, has been installed
new facilities have been added. the
underground plant has been extended
and many improvements OF a costly
nature have been made by the teIe-
phone company. No expense or
pains have been spared to meet the
requirements of the city of Pensacola
and the present system and excellent
service are Indicative of the success
attained.
The Southern Bell Company is
now confronted with the necessity of
readJuSting its rates in such a man
ner as to make a slight increase.
This is due to the recognized in
crease in the cost of everything en-
ter1ng into the operation of a teIe-
phone plant and the growth of the
exchange AS a result of the addi-
tons to the list of subscribers the
value OF the service to the subscriber
has increased more than 800 per
cent
Upon the expiration of annual con-
tracts letter viii be sent to each
subscriber explaining fully the new
schedule OF rates In view of the
manner in which the Southern Bell
company has adhered to the terms of
the agreement, the splendid system
it has installed and the large perma-
nent investment made here it is be-
neVed that every subscriber will sign
new contracts and that a large num-
Der OF new subscribers will be added
Signers of new contracts viii be
entitled to a discount provided they
pay bills at the office of the company
on or before the tenth day of the
month IN which the bill falls due
