RAISE PORTLAND
TELEPHONE RATES
PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELE-
GRAPH COMPANY INCREASE
RATES IN OREGON

PORTLAND. - Substantial in
c~reases in telephone rates Throughout
the state of Oregon, effective today
IN accordance with the order of the
postmaster general on November Is
1918, were announced yesterday BY
w. j. Phillips, division commercial.
superintendent of the Pacific TeIe-
phone & Telegraph Company.
Under the amended Portland rates,
individual residence telephone service
is increased from So to S3.75 per
month, two-party service from 1925
to So per month, four-party service
from 50 to $3.50 per month, with an
additional 25 cents added for desk
sets.
Measured Service Cut.
The four-party measured service,
by which subscribers have been OBJ
tanning 80 calls for $1.50 per month
and paying three cents for any adj
ditional calls, has been cancelled, as
have been the special telephone rates
given apartment houses. This latter
cancellation will mean, in many in
stances, much higher bills for the
large apartment houses of Portland,
which heretofore have enjoyed low
rates.
Suburban rates, which have been
$3.50, are increased to So per month,
and extension telephones, used in the
large business and commercial houses
are increased from 80 cents to 81 per
month.
City Action Cited.
Dissatisfied with the rates placed
into effect by the public service COM
mission, and spurred by many ON
plants made by telephone users, the
city council filed suit a few weeks ago
against the public service commission
in an effort to have the commissions
schedule put aside.
Mr.. Phillips admitted yesterday
that this action on the part of the city
a measure forced the telephone
company to take the step in placing
he postmaster-general's schedule into
effect, especially following the in
,rease of wages granted to the COM
,any's employees, who conducted a
strike settled about one week ago.
The telephone lines have been re-
urned to the companies throughout
he country by the government, thus
no doubt as to the public serv-
ce commissions jurisdiction in rate
chedule of all telephone companies
perating in this state.
