During the absence of himself and

TO OUR PATRONs

By way of explanation in regard
to the re-adjustment of telephone
rates which we were ordered to put
into effect Nov. 1st, we would say
that when we started in the tele-
phone business in Nav. 1894, we had
but fifteen or eighteen subscribers
all told, and when we named rates
of $l.5o for residence and $500 for
business phones we were asked if
that was not pretty high. We re-
piled. Yes, but that we would
soon have more and it would be only
a question of time until we would
have rural lines and that the above
rates would entitle them to free con-
nection with all rural lines which we
built and would likewise give all
rural subscribers free connection
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1913-12-04

with all our exchange subscribers;
but, owing to the few phones with
which we had to start, we would un-
til further notice make a rate of
So 90 for business and residence
phone to the same party.
Last September the Board Of Rail-
road Commissioners instructed all
telephone companies to post their
rates in each central office and file
copies of the same with the board
at Pierre. This order was COM
piled with and we were advised, un-
der date of Oct. 1st, That the mat
ter of combined business and resi-
dence rates had been taken under
consideration for the reason that in
complaint which came from Salem,
recently, where similar rates were
in effect, the matter of the COM
bined rates was gone into and an
order issued in which such rates
were disapproved. it being the opin-
ion of the board that business and
residence rates should be charged to
all parties regardless to the number
subscribed for"
Chapter 2l8, Paragraph 6. Section
10 of the Session laws of 1911, reads
as follows:
"No person or telephone company
shall unjustly discriminate either be-
tween persons or telephone compan-
les in the switching, transfer or de-
livery of messages; nor shall such
telephone company make different
rate for its subscribers for the same
class of service in any city or town
where it is operating"

the Board of Railroad Commission.
ers, we called upon most of the busi-
ness men in Parker and a few of
them in Hurley, showing them the
communications we had received
and explaining the situation in de-
tail. but had not yet completed our

ed on the 1st. We were treated

verv kindly by all to whom we ex-
planned the situation. one firm in
Hurley, in particular, thanking us
for the privileges extended them in
the past
We wish further to state that our
system was established in May, 1894.
that we have built five exchanges
and still own the exchanges in Par
ker, Hurley and Monroe. compris-
ing over 378 phones. with 26 rural
lines radiating from said exchanges
on which there are over 400 sub
scribers, and in addition we have
trunk or switching lines between
Parker, Hurley, Monroe. Marion.
Dolton, Canistota and Chancellor,
and between Hurley. Davis and vi
borg. Our rural subscribers have
free connection with all our sub
scribers, and with all neighboring
exchanges or rural systems at ten
cents per call. Our business men
and others of our exchanges have
free connection with all our rural
subscribers and may call anyone on
neighboring exchanges and rural
systems at ten cents per call and
have connection with our exchange
subscribers at Parker, Hurley and
Monroe at a special or reduced rate.
Our rural lines cover the trade ter
ritory more than half way from
Parker to Marion and Chancellor,
and from Monroe to Dolton and Can
istota, and from Hurley to Davis.
The value of a telephone depends
not only on the quality Of service
rendered, but on the number Of peo-
pie who can be reached without adj
ditional expense. Our exchange
service, with few exceptions, is all
private line, and our Office hours
not excelled by any system Of the
size. We cover the territory, boost
for Parker, Hurley and Monroe and
strive to do our best to please our
patrons. Sincerely,
The Steninger Telephone Co.
