Chamber of Commerce is concerned
about freight rates here and is
working with the San Diego and

ed an albright rate from San

to facilitate arrangements with
transfer companies here and at FL
Centre which will lay the goods in
the Ell Centre warehouse for not
more than 40 cents per 100 pounds.
This is part of the San Diego
program to get their wholesale pro
ducts into Imperial Valley on an
advantageous freight rate basis
which shall take account of the
shorter haul when compared with
Los Angeles. The trucking compan-
les have made differential of 5
cents in favor of freight moving
from San Diego. The truck rate
from San Diego on groceries and
practically every commodity handled
by wholesalers is now 40 cents per

New Telephone
Billing Plan
Is Announced

A new plan of billing charges for
telephone service will be introduced
to subscribers of the Pacific Tele.
phone and Telegraph Company start
ing October 81, according to C. S,
Palmer, district manager.
The new plan is known as "rota.
tion billing and means that in
stead of all subscribers bills going
out on the first of the month, the
billing will be divided into six
equal groups, each group being
mailed shortly after their date.
Mr.. Palmer stated that because
the new billing plan permits of
spreading the work of preparing
bills throughout the month, it will
be possible for the telephone COM
pany to give to their patrons better
billing and business office service.
The new billing plan also gives the
subscriber a more up to date bill
The total charges on each bill will
include items up to the date of the
bill. instead of such items appearing
on bills only up to the Goth of the
preceding month, as has been the
practice. Under the new plan all
bills will be made out on machines
instead of in long hand as at pres
ent. The advantages of this method
are accuracy. neatness and a much
clearer bill from the standpoint of
the customer, says Mr.. Palmer.
Telephone subscribers at Ell Cen
tro, under the new plan, will re-
ceive bills dated the Goth of each
mont.
1t will be necessary during the
transition from the present method
of billing to the new plan of billing,
TO inrlude charges for other than
normal periods However, after this
transition has been completed, which
will be about the 10th of November,
bills will cover the regular periods.
Mr.. Palmer said each telephone
will receive notice with
his October bill and also with his
next subsequent bill. This notice
explains the plan and indicates the
period covered by the charges on
their bills in the future.
Mr. Palmer, or his representative,
will be glad to answer questions or
furnish additional information re-
garding the new plan.
