There were things about the Con

Just as some of the articles f the

New Rates Established
for Long Distance Calls
Charges Quoted Are Based On
Different Kinds of Service Provided
This company has put Into effect retroactive to May 21,
new regulations governing charges for long distance telephone
calls.
These regulations are the same as have been In effect for
Inter-state telephone calls since January 21. They have not
been put in force before because only recently the United
States Supreme Court fixed the authority for making telephone
rates within the state.
The principal change from the former method of determ
ining long distance telephone rates is that instead of one class
of service there are several, each with a different rate.
For example, there is to be one rate for "station to sta
tion" calls when anyone at a certain telephone Is wanted, an
other rate for "person to person" calls when a definite party la
desired, another for "appointment" calls, for night calls, and
so on.
llasi of Itates
The basis of all charges on long distance telephone calls Is
the "station to station" rate. This Is deterwined by the air
line distance between towns. The rate is computed for the in
itial period of conversation on the basis of 5 cents for each
six miles up to 24 miles and 5 cents for each eight miles be
yond that distance.
"Station to Station" Service.
. The station to station" rate applies when the calling party
does not ask to talk to a particular person at the telephone
designated, but merely to anyone who answers the telephone.
The word "station" as used here means "telephone," the serv
ice being a telephone to telephone method.
"Station to station" calls must be made either by giving
the telephone number wanted or the name or address under
which the telephone is hated. If the calling party states that
he wishes to talk to a definite person, the "person to person"
rate, which Is higher, is charged. Charges for "station to sta
tion" calls cannot be reversed, that is, tney cannot be charged
to the telephone called.
The "station to station" service is the cheapest and quick
est form of long distance communication. It is furnished at a
lower rate than other classes of service because It requires less
work on the part of the long distance operators and "ties up"
the wires for a shorter period than when a particular party
must be summoned to the telephone.
"Person to Person" Service
When a toll call Is made, specifying that conversation Is
desired with a particular person and the connection is estab
lished and conversation held with that person, the "person to
person" rate applies.
As this service requires a greater amount of operating ef
fort and holds the wires for a longer period than "station to
station" calls because a particular party must be brought to
the telephone before a conversatoln is held, the rate for such
calls is about one-fourth greater than the "station to station"
rate.
"Appointment" Hate. ,
When the calling party in placing his call appoints a de
finite specified time at which he will talk to a "person to per
son" basis and the conversation Is held accordingly, the "ap
pointment" rate applies.
The "appointment" rate is about one-half greater than
the "station to station" rate.
"Messenger" OilU
When a call Is made on a "person to person" basis and a
messenger is required to secure attendance of the designated
person at a public pay station at the distance point, the "mes
senger call" rate applies.
This rate is the same as the "appointment" rate for the
same distance, plus any charge for messenger service.
Messenger charges incurred are to be paid even though
the desired conversation Is hot held.
j "KeMrt Charge"
The "report charge" applies when a "person to person"
call, an "appointment',' call or a messenger" call Is "made and
the particular person desired is not in or will, not talk, or
when the right telephone address of the particular person de
sired has not been given and he cannot be reached at a tele
phone within one hour.
Such a charge also applies If the calling party Is absent
when the connection is completed within one hour, or If be re
fuses tc talk.
The cost of handling a call where we are unable to locate
fhe party called, is nearly as great as when the person is
found and the conversation held. The "report charge" covers
a portion of this expense.
The rate for a report charge is about one-fourth the "eta
tion to station" rate.
"Collect Calls"
"Collect calls" are calls for which the charges are revers
ed; that is, are to be collected from the subscriber at the dis
tant station at which the call is completed.
"Collect calls," or reversed charges, are not allowed in
connection with "station to station" calls but are with other
classes of service.
Standard Toll Xlght Rates
The following rates" are charged for night service on a
station to station" basis. Night rates do not apply to other
classes of service:
8:30 p. m. to 12 midnight About one-half of the "sta
tion to station" day rate.
12:00 midnight to 4:30 a. m. About one-quarter of the
"station to station" day rate.
The minimum night rate is 25 cents. Day rates apply on
calls made at night when the "station to station" charge Is
less thn the minimum night rate.

The lowest "person to person" rate quoted is 15 cents,
the minimum "appointment" rate Is 20 cents, the minimum
"messenger call" rate is 20 cents and the minlmnm "report

On "station to station" calls, where the rate Is 25 cents or
less, on initial talking period of 5 minutes is' permitted without
extra charge. When the rate Is higher the initial period is 3
minutes. On "person to person" calls, "appointment" calls
and "messenger" calls the initial talking period is 3 minutes.
The rate for any class of service may be obtained from the
long distance operator.
