W. Hayson, Bell Telephone manager for this territory, announced this week. The new rate Is expected to be- come effective toward the end of June. Approval in principle of the 10 - cent rate for local calls from all of Bell's pulgic and semi-public telephones was given in Novem- ber, 1951, by the Board of Trans- port Commissioners for Canada. However, because of equipment shortages at that time, the Bell asked for the higher rate to be applied to modify the public tele. phones in the smaller centres also, the company decided to complete the application of the standard .fate throughout its ter- ritory. Introduction of •the uniform 10 - cent rate, for local calls would follow the apprbval of tariff re- visions filed by the Bell company with the Board of Transport Com- missioners for Canada. Conversion of public and semi- public coin boxes in the area concerned now is under way.
