TELEPHONE NOTICE.

In explanation of the announced in
creases in telephone rates, Manager Spear
said:
"The reason for the changes in rates is
obvious. The Company must get in
creased revenue in order to meet in
creased costs. Practically all of these
increased costs are represented by wage
increases The Company's only sources
OF revenue are the payments made by its
patrons. 1t asks them only for such addi-
tlonal revenue as is necessary to meet
existing conditions and it has endeavored
to apply these increases eQuitably to all
classes of service.
These changes, IS far as they apply
in the Belfast, Searsport, Dark Harbor
and Monroe Exchanges, may be briefly
summarized as follows
Business subscribers increased 50 cents
per month.
Residence subscribers increased Is
cents per month
'EXtensIon sets increased % cents per
month.
AT certain summer resorts where the
equipment required to give service during
a small part of the year is necessarily
idle and unproductive for the rest of the
year, subscribers who get service during
any part of the period between Juiv list
and September Both will have to contract
for minimum period Of seven months.
A moments reflection will show the
reasonableness OF this requirement in or
der that fair return may be earned on
the necessary investment
The change in the mileage charge to
subscribers whose telephones are located
beyond prescribed central office areas
simply standaTdizeS our mileage rate to
that Of the rest of the country, and puts
1t on practically the basis of some years
ago. Many rural line subscribers are 90
ing to be benefited by the fact that mile
age computations will be made on an air
line rather than pole line basis.
The telephone organization is practi-
cally the last one TO come forward and
ask for increased revenue to enable it TO
meet these increased costs. We would
have had TO do so long 60 were it not for
the fact that, in the early days of TIL
war, cur officials advised a policy of econ
omy and conservation which every en-
ployee of the company has since Ieiigi.
ously followed until the general feeling
was that further efforts in this direction
would seriously impair the service to the
public. Therefore, as the government
must meet these increased costs of opera
tion, it has asked us to obtain from the
service such additional revenue as will
enable it to do SO
