affected, according to the tele-
phone manager, and rates on
out-of-town calls between ILL
nois points are increased
slightly. The standard three
minute initial talking period
which now applies on calls
costing 80 cents or more will
apply on calls taking a lucent
or higher rate. The five-minute
initial talking period will ap-
ply on calls taking the 10-cent
toll rate, which will be the
lowest standard rate for any

Monthly rates for subscrib-
ers having private branch ex-
changes will be increased by

size and type of switchboard
used. Certain other specialized
types of equipment used by
some businesses will also have
some increases.
eve are glad that the ILL
nois Commerce Commission
has recognized our critical
need for more revenue by
granting temporary permission
to raise telephone rates." the
telephone manager declared.
'"This increase was essential
for continued good service,
and came after the company
began operating in the red.
Forty per cent of the increased
revenue the new rates are ex-
pected to produce will go for
taxes.
"The ices action represents
the first general increase we
have had in &c years, and we
regret that the Commission did
not grant the full amount
needed in this temporary or
der. This is of particular i'm
portance now because our pc
tition filed for higher rates
last December did not allow
for the general wage increase
recently granted employees.
The amount we sought was
sufficient to cover only pre-
vious wage boosts and other
increased expenses.
"The Company's earnings
decline since 1910 had contin-
ued to the point where we
were operating in the red and
therefore no dividend could be
paid for the second quarter of
1947. Wages and other en-
ployee payments now take II
cents out of every dollar the
customer pays us.
''In view of the complete
lack of profit thus far in 1947
and the recent telephone wage
increases, we shall present fur
Their evidence of the need for
a permanent rate increase. We
believe that an adequate re-
turn on investment will serve
the best interests of the pub
lie, our employees, and our
investors, who furnish the CAPT.
tai for service improvements.
