Higher Costs Make it
Necessary to Reprice
Local Telephone Service
The much higher cost of providing telephone service
4 has made it necessary for this Company to file an
application with the Nebraska State Railway Com
mission for an adjustment in the price of local
telephone service. This would be the first state-wide
adjustment in over 21 years and we want our cus
tomers to know the reasons why this is necessary.
Payroll More Than Doubled
The cost of almost everything used in the furnishing of telephone
•ervice is much higher. Since 1939, our payroll in Nebraska (which is
about two'thirds of the total cost of providing telephone service) has
increased 128 per cent, the larger part of which is due to increases in
wage levels.
Other telephone costs have increased greatly, too. For example,
telephone poles now cost 85 per cent more than they did in 1939, cable
costs are up 50 per cent, copper wire costs are up 75 per cent, and
awitchboard costs are up 43 per cent.
« * V
Expenses Have Gone Up
Faster Than Income *
i * '
The Company is providing more local and long distance service
tfian ever before. Nevertheless, in spite of all our efforts to keep down
•osts, telephone expenses have gone up faster than revenues.
, The income of this Company in Nebraska has been inadequate for
Many years. Even with the tremendous amount of business during and
•ince the war, Company earnings in this state have been only a little
More than they were in the worst years of the depression.
> Good Service Is Our Aim
fe ■*«; 4
For several years we have been handicapped by not being able
to obtain enough equipment and materials, due to restrictions imposed
by the war and to present day shortages affecting industry. Everything
possible is being done to overcome this handicap and to improve service
to our customers. The supply situation is improving and increasing
progress is being made.
To provide good telephone service and to extend it to meet public
requirements, we have spent $3,380,000 in Nebraska since V'J Day foe
service improvements and new facilities. We will need to spend more
than $20,000,000 more in the next few years to keep pace with rfe
economic growth of Nebraska.
Repricing Only Solution
U U Much study has been devoted to our problem of making both end*
meet. Every practical method of keeping costs down without impairing
service has been and will be adopted. We are still face to face with thi*
hard fact: good service can be provided and needed improvements made
only if the prices we charge produce sufficient revenues to meet the full
cost of providing the service. In order to do this job, earnings must be
adequate to attract the necessary capital.
In general, the present prices for local tc*. . o..c jei \ ,ce in Nebraska
were established in 1925; that is, there has been no statewide adjust'
ment in prices for more than 21 years.
The prices included in the Company's application for some erf the
principal classes of service in this exchange (not including Federal taxes)
are as follows:
O’NEILL
Business 1-party . $4.75
Business 2-party 4.00
Residence 1-party . 2.75
Residence 2-party .—----— 2.25
Residence 4-party .■••••— . 2.00
Rural Residence-grounded (one-wire) 1.75
Rural Residence-metallic.—••••. . 2.25
An adjustment in the prices of supplemental local service and the
jfacontinuance of the prompt payment discount are proposed. Prices
lor long distance service would not b* changed.
f,
We regret that this repricing of service is necessary, hut m the
interest of good service there It no alternative. Ova manager
mil be pleased to dtaomo ova situation further if you so desire.

Who Will Operate
Your Taverns
Next Year?
Within a few weeks, the duly
elected officials in your town
will grant licenses to those who
will locally retail beer during
the next year.
Who will these tavern-keepers
be? Will they be men of
whom you approve? As you
may know, you and all citizens
have an obligation to take an
active interest in these matters.
If you know of anyone apply
ing for a beer-selling license
whose record does not warrant
his receiving it, it is your right
and duty to protest. A public
hearing in your town gives you
the opportunity.
The beer industry backs you
in your desire for the best pos
sible beer-selling conditions. It
wants, as much as you do, to
have its products represented
only by those who diligently
observe the State’s excellent
liquor control laws. It urges
you to perform your duty as a
citizen and help select good
licensees.
