 All the above rates do not in clude Federal tax.
 Col Fully pointed out that traf- fic has increased appreciably in the ,-4st few months over certain ACS sircuits which has a definite bear ing on the rate structure. This gen. eral increase in traffic is partially due to the traffic on the new sub marine telephone circuits which baFs been opened recently between Htchikan and Metlakatla, Peters hurg and Wrangel, and between Juneau and skagway and Haines, as well as the connection of these three cities to the Fairbanks-An- ohorage-Seward area by means of the Alcan telephone and telegraph line, Col.
