that telephone and the more wear there is on tho
Also the equipment per telephone is more expensive in larger
places. For oxamplo, in a town of 10,000 people the more intri
cate and complicated switchboard that has to be used costs near
ly flvo times as much per subscriber connected as in a town of
1,000 people.
Subscribers in the town of 10,000 people live on an average
three times as far from tho central office as in the smaller place
Also subscribers move more in large centers, and these moves
cost money.
A more exacting grado of service is required in larger places
which increases the operating costs. Again wages, taxes and
rents aro higher as a town grows larger. Then, too, in larger
places we aro generally asked to place our wires underground in
cables, which is.vory expensive.
Theso are somo of- tho reasons why telephone rates cannot
do as' low In largo towns as in small ones.
