TO THE TELEPHONE USERS
OF THIS COMMUNITY:
I would like everyone to know why it has
been necessary to make the adjustments in tele
phone rates throughout Nebraska, which are
effective July 1st.
Our rates in Nebraska have not been ade
quate for many years to earn a fair return on
the money invested in our business. We believe
that you do not want this to go on indefinitely,
because it would not be in the interests of
continued adequate and reliable service.
Only by being fair to telephone users,
to our employees and to those who have their
money invested in the business can we continue
to operate our property satisfactorily. The
public demands good service, our employees
should be fairly paid, and existing investors
must be satisfied with their investment or
additional money cannot be attracted to the
business for growth to meet your needs and the
needs of other people who from time to time will
want more telephone service.
In determining the rate changes which would
be necessary, we have considered the different
kinds of service furnished, the use made of
each class and its value to the user, and
made adjustments that we feel will be fair
to each patron.
The new rates that have been placed in
effect are the lowest that we believe it is
possible to charge and yet pay our expenses,
such as taxes, wages, materials and the like,
keep our property in constant good condition,
and pay such a return on the value of the prop
erty as is absolutely essential at this time.
I am making this statement because it has
been my experience from a great many years in
the telephone business that telephone users will
always willingly cooperate with us if they
have the facts.
f President
