PHONE USERS
PLEASE NOTE

What makes your phone bill Sc
high? Where does the money goP
A Federal Communications Com
mission investigation showed that
the average s64 yearly phone bill
covered the following charges:
current maintenance. sli.7o: de-
probation, $ll.35: trafiic costs,
1891: commercial expenses. $500;
general expenses, Sl3.63; net earn
ings. $3.50.
Sl2.60 net earnings may souEd
big almost a fifth OF your phone
bill. But that is not the entire
story. Other items conceal add.
tional profits and overcharges.
Depreciations costs are often
charged at rates that return to the
company much more than 1t orig
inally paid. Telephone supplies
for which you pay - are bought
at exhorbitant prices, and you also
pay for engineering mistakes made
by the system. For example, Bell
engineers recognized almost at
once that the hand set phone in.
troduced lin 1927 was an inferior
instrument due TO poor mouth
piece design. Yet it was manufac-
tured for Z years, and far from
costing the company money. it
yielded a return over and above
its cost in charges made to tele-
phone subscribers. Now phone

dered several officers of the scut-
tied German pocket battleship Ad-

The order applied also to five

who failed to take the white links
from a dress shirt he sent to the
laundry. - 60
