The negotiations have just termi
nated for the purchase of the
Christ Barkening quarter section of
land, where he has lived just over
the Four Mile creek west of this
city. The quarter has one acre
short, as that amount has been used
for school purposes. Charles C.
Parmele was the purchaser, not that
Mr. Parmele knows the value of
lands, hq does, and is in the market
every day, knowing just what a farm
will produce, how much per cent
the land will pay on the money in
vested, and the matter of the land
selling for this amount is not a
scramble to get the land, for in this
purchase it must show capacity for
paying a dividend, on the purchase
price, and it eventually selling for
more money which it is bofind to do.
POSTMASTER GENERAL ORDERS
New Telephone Toll Rates
EFFECTIVE JUNE 21, 1919
OFFERS SEVERAL NEW CLASSES OF SERVICE
REDUCES REVENUE OF TELEPHONE COMPANY.
A new method of computing charges
on telephone toL calls under which all toll
rates within the State of Nebraska are
placed on a standard basis, became ef
fective Saturday, June 21, 1919. A brief
description of this new method and of its
application to the several classes of ser
vice, is given herewith. The rate for any
particular class of service may be obtain
ed from the long distance operator:
"Station to Station" Rate
. When a person makes a toll call without spotir
lying that conversation is desired with a particu
lar person, and the connection is estihlished ami
cot versation held, the "station to station" rah;
applies. '
"Station to station" calls should be made by
number wherever Telephone Directory informa
tion is available. Where this information is no
available at the calling telephone, such calls may
be made by giving the loll operator the name and
address of the subscriber at the telephone called.
"Person to Person" Rate
When a person makes a toll call, specifying
that conversation is desired with a particular pel
ton and the connection is established and conver
sation held with that person, the "person to per
son" rate applies.
As this service requires a greater amount of
operating effort, the rate tor such calls is about
one-fourth greater than the "station to station"
rate.
This "person to person" rate is computed on
th" day rate between the points involved, whether
the call is made during the day or during th?
night, and the minimum charge is 15c.
"Report Charge"
When a "person to person" caii is made and the
particular person desired is not in or will not talk,
or when an exact telephone address of the particu
lar person desired has not been given and he can
' not be reached at a telephone within one hour a
"report charge" applies.
Such, a charge also aplies if the calling party is
absent when the connection is completed within
one hour, or if he refuses to talk.
This charge is to cover compensation for the
operating work performed and is usually about
one-fourth of the "station to station" rate.
In any ease where a "report charge" applies,
the minimum charge is 10c and the maximum is
$2.00.
"Appointment" Rate
When the calling party in placing his can ap
points a definite specified time at which he will
talk on a "person to person" basis and the con
versation is held at the specified time, the "ap
pointment" rate applies.
The "appointment" rate is usually about one
half greater than the "station to station" rate.
The "appointment" rate is computed on the day
ivte between the points involved, whether the call
H made during the day or during the night, anl
the minimum charge is 23c.
"Report charges" apply under the same gen
eral conditions as specified for "person to person"
ca'is.
"Messenger" Calls
When a call is made on a "person to person"
basis and a messenger is required to scciye at
tendance of the designated person at the distant
point, the "messenger" call rate applies.
This rate is the same as the "appointment"
rate for the same distance, plus any charge for
messenger service.
The "messenger" call rate is computed on the
day rate between the points involved, whether th
call is made during the day or during the night,
and the minimum charge is 25c.
Messenger charges incurred are to be paid even,
if desired conversation is not had.
"Report charges' apply under the same general
conditions as specified for "person to person" calls.
Standard Toll Night Rates
The following reduced rates for night service
on a "station to station" basis only are effective.
S::5ft p. m. to 12:00 midnight About
one-half the "station to station" day
rate.
12:00 midnight to 4:30 a. m. About
one-quarter of the "station to station"
day rate.
For the purpose of applying night rates, the
time of day at the point at which a "station to
Hat ion" message originates is used.
Day rates apply on calls made at night when
the "station to station" charge is less than th;
minimum night rate of 25c.
"Collect Calls"
"Collect calls" are calls for which the charge;
are reversed; that is. are to be collected from the
subscriber at the distant station at which the call
is completed.
Such "collect calls" or reversed charges are al
lowed only in connection with "person to person"
calls.
Example Showing Application of
New Rates
Assuming the air-line distance between toll
points to be more than 144 miles, but not more
than 152 miles, the following initial period rates
for service under the various classes offered would
apply:
"Station to station" rate $1.00,
Completed "person to person" rate 1.25
Completed "appointment" rate 1.50
Completed "messenger call" rate. 1.50
t'lu.s iiicssi-riArer eha
Report charge .25
Rate between 8:30 p.m. and 12
midnight, "station to station"
service only .50
Rate between 12 midnight and
4:30 a. m.. "station to station"
service only .25
The rate for a "station to station" call is gen
erally less than the present charge and the "per
son to person" rate is a slight increase in some
cases. The revenue produced under the new
tariff will be less than was received under the old
rates.
The Postmaster General's classification and
rates have been in effect on interstate business
fince the first of this yeaY.
The Fnited States Supreme Court has estab
lished the Postmaster General's authority to pre
scribe rates and at 12:01 a. m., June 21. the new
long distance rates and classifications became the
legal rates on all toll business throughout the
United States.
