But when this cannot be done without impairing the quality of telephone service, we believe it our duty to seek an adjust ment in rates. The rates charged by our Company in this state have not been adequate for many years to pay a reasonable re turn on the value of our property, although telephone pa trons have enjoyed a good quality of service at prices rela tively lower than they have paid for other services and products. Telephone users demand reliable service. Employees who supply such service should be fairly paid. Those who invest their money to build telephone plant to meet the needs of the public for service must be paid a fair return or additional money for growth could not be obtained. We be lieve that the interests of the public, our employees and in vestors can be best served only when charges for telephone service are such as will pay expenses and earn a fair and i reasonable return on the value of our property. The detailed facts as to our investment, earnings and expenses, have been presented in our proceedings before the State Railway Commission and the Court, and on June 11, such decision was rendered by the Court as permits us to place reasonable rates in effect. We will, therefore, make adjustments in rates in our various exchanges throughout Nebraska. Following are the charges for the principal classes of service for the Omaha exchange, effective July 1: NORTH ZONE NORTH GENERAL ZONE These rates include unlimited service These rates include unlimited service within the area covered by te Atlantic, f0r subscribers living in the North Zone •Jackson, Harney, Kenwood, Walnut and to subscribers in both the North and South Webster central offices.

This statement is made in accordance with our policy of informing our patrons at all times as to what we are doing and why, believing that when telephone users know the facts, they will appreciate the necessity for an adjustment in telephone charges.
