'Classification of Areas as the Basis for Furnishing 'Telephone Service - Economical operation of: the telephone business, to secure protection to the "whole body of rate payers and to the business it- self, requires that the property be built and oper- ed in accordance with a definite plan under which ecified classes of service are regularly furnished specified areas or types of areas. The Telephone

mpany therefore does not undertake to furnish any desired class of service at any desired location, nor does it undertake to extend its plant to remote Sections where such extension is not warranted by ublic . necessity as distinguished from personal ire, except where protection is afforded. The neral plan for furnishing telephone service as thorized in the General Exchange Tariff is based Ey classification of areas by types for the deter- nation of the classes of service available and for e. application of rates.

Term Period of Contract - The Company's con- facts covering the furnishing of telephone service ordinarily for initial term periods of one month. der some special condition involving unusual in- ulation costs or involving the installation of ecial equipment, contracts may be required for ger initial term periods. The Telephone Com- ys obligation to furnish telephone service is ndent upon its ability to procure and retain able facilities and rights for the construction maintenance of the necessary circuits.

check is not paid for any reason, and not made good by the 15th inst., the service will be sus- pended for non-payment. If service is suspended for the second time a service charge of $1.00 will be made for restoring same.

"Busy," or "Line in Use"

About ten per cent of all calls strike a line in use. It is easier for the operator to make connec- tions than report the line "busy," and operators do not make the report to save labor, as sub-

-seribers can readily learn by a visit to the Ex-

change or Central Office. When a number called for is reported "'busy,'' immediately replace hook on receiver and wait a reasonable time before again asking for the connection. This is important and essential to good service.

In case of sickness, fire or other emergency, employees of this company will cheerfully extend aid to subscribers in summoning assistance, or obtaining information. It is understood that such services are given as an accommodation to the subseriber, for which the company cannot assume responsibility of any nature.

The company assumes no liability for damages occurring from errors or. omissions in making up or printing of the Directory, nor can it guarantee the permanency of call numbers assigned or to be

2. Toll rates are for a conversation of three (3) minutes. Each additional minute is charged 38. Always tell the operator the name of the party you wish to speak with. If you ask for a given number, firm or corporation, and response ig received from the telephone called for, the con- versation will be charged for, even if the party wanted is not in.

Do not report troubles to the operator but call

No. 9000 and tell just what trouble you have been

having. This will be recorded and looked after in a systematic way. We will do all in our power to remove any thing that keeps our service from being the best.

Service Connection Charges and Charges for Moves and Changes

Experience and careful investigation of the entire subject has demonstrated the fact that certain service connection charges, covering to some extent the average cost of the initial expense of establishing service for new subscribers and of furnishing additional facilities to old subscribers should be paid by such sub- scribers and should not be borne by the entire body of telephone users. Therefore,: a uniform schedule has been prepared which embodies rates that should not re- tard telephone development in any section and will place upon subscribers re- sponsible therefor a portion of the costs incident to such service connections, leaving the balance as a charge on the business generally. This schedule is as

For Individual and Party Line Service Een each extension station connected with any class of telephone service $3.50 For Private Branch Exchange Service the charge for establishing service connection: (a) For each trunk line connecting the Private Branch Exchange

with a central office

(b) For each telephone connected to the Private Branch Ex- change except Operator's Telephone Sets 4. To cover in part Directory, Accounting, Circuit and switchboard expenses in cases where service is established by the use of instrumentalitiés' already in place in the subscriber's premises and no change is made in the type or location of-such instrumentalities, each main station, $1.50.

The prarres for moves and changes in equipment will be as follows:

1. For moving a telephone set from one location to another on same prem- ises a charge of $3.00.

2. For moving any other equipment or wiring from one location to another : on the same premises, a charge based on the cost of the labor and material.

3. For change in type or style of telephone set, a charge of $3.00.

4. For other changes in equipment or wiring, a charge based on cost of labor and material.

5. The Company will, subject to the usual charges above set out, install or change the location of a telephone provided it has facilities available at as early date as practicable, and the conditions under which it is then working permit.
