Equalizing the
Telephone Rates

An advertisement of the New England
Telephone & Telegraph Co. elsewhere an
nounces a new schedule of rates for the
AIeusta-Hallowell exchange, to be effec-
tive on and after this day. The new
schedule shows reductions of Sc per year
for one party-<dlstrict business, district
residence. and district two party business
service. and So per year for two party
district residence service.
District service provides for commune
cation between all subscribers connected
with the Augusta, HalloweH and Gardi-
ner exchanges without other charge than
the regular yearly rental; that is, without
toll charge.
Reductions in the local service rates
are 81 per year for one party residence
and 81 per year for two party residence
service. In addition to the foregoing the
toll rate between the Augusta-HalloweH
and Gardiner exchanges will be . cents.
Heretofore the rate between Augusta
and Gardiner has been 10 cents.
There are no increases for Augusta
subscribers in the new schedule, al
though in consequence of the electrical
grouping of the HaIlowell exchange with
that of the Augusta Halloweil exchange
there will be some cases in which the
old rates are now lower which necessa-
rily will have to be slightly advanced in
order that all the subscribers in the
same exchange may pay the same rate
for corresponding classes of service. OFF,
setting such increase, however, subscrib-
ers to the Augusta allowell exchange,
living in Hallowel, are now given a
modern and complete telephone service
of high order, new cables and lines and
new telephone equipment at each sub
scribers station.
1t is understood that a large proportion
of the Augusta-Hallowell local residence
service is upon four-party lines. The rate
for this service heretofore has been 81
per year. The new schedule offers two
party local service rate at the same fig
ure. Naturally, therefore. these SUBJ
scribers will automatically, as it were,
be given two party instead of four party
service without increased cost, as soon
as the necessary line changes can be
made.
A six party local residence service is
offered at SIS, but inasmuch as the two
party class offers a residence service a,
only 25 cents per month additional, the
six party class is not likely to be large.
The new rates, it is stated, conform TO
the regular schedules recently adopted
for cities of the same population through
out New England. They will probably
result in placing a very large proportion
of the local exchange upon two party
basis or better and very largely reduce
party line interference. or busy lines as
the operators call them, necessarily Incl
dent to multi-party lines. A comparison
of the old and new rates follows:

Alumni VS.. All Stars at Rink.

The Alumni basketball team and the
All-Stars viii play their first City
League game of the season, Thursday
evening. at the Select Roller Rink,
and it bids fair TO be one of the fast
est and most interesting games of
basketball that has been witnessed
this season by Augusta fans, These
two teams played, once before, but not
in a City League game, and the Alum
nj won by small margin from the
All-Stars. This fact does not, how
ever, make it a sure thing that the
Alumni aggregation can do it again
and it lis very doubtful If they can do
so, as the .All-Stars have improved
much since that game, which was
their first one of the season. and they
also have been strengthened by some
new men. Both teams have large
number of rooters, and the rink will
probably be crowded, when the whis-
tile blows, Thursday evening. for the
gaMe " start.
