The subscriber versus renter debate surfaced again at the annual meeting of commissioners and sub- scribers to the Tuckersmith Municipal Telephone System, held in Brucefield Wednesday night. A motion, put forWard by Ted 'Roberts of Chiselhurst, asked that a five-man commission for the telephone system look into the possibilities of taking on new subscribers and bring back a recommendation from their findings to the next annual meeting. Subcribers are shareholders in the locally owned phone system: ren- ters are phone users. A number of subscribers at the ,meeting expressed concern that new sub- scribers haven't been taken into the telephone company for the past 12 to 15 years. Also, phone renters in the audience said they wanted a vote in the system, since they were paying as much for the use of their phones as the subscribers, Mel Graham, secretary- treasurer of the telephone system, said there are now 661 subscribers and 1,144 renters in the system. When the company was formed in 1909, subscribers were asked to sign subscription cer- tificates guaranteeing they would take the telephone service for a period of 10 years. Mr. Graham told the meeting if a person buys property tomorrow that was owned by a subscriber to the system, then the buyer automatically becomes a subscriber. However, someone building a new home, in Bayfield for example, can only belong to the system as a renter. Only subscribers are allowed to vote on issues concerning the company and to elect the system's five commissioners. One Egmondville area resident asked why, when he was living in a home that was over 50 years old, he was classed as a renter rather some point - perhaps bought an adjacent farm, and moved into the home on that property. Once the subscriber's phone was disconnected; the next person purchasing the service from the Tucker- smith telephone system is classed as a renter. The Egmondville resident asked if he could pay into the company for 30 years and still only be classed as a renter. Mr. Graham replied yes, that could happen under the existing rules. Under legislation passed by the Ontario Telephone Commission, subscribers and renters must pay the same amount for telephone service, if the independent telephone systems carries a debt, as Tuckersrnith, does. Like A Vote Another audience mem-. ber, also a renter, said, "I would like to have a vote in the system, because I'm a subscriber in it."

He said some Subscribers might not have followed that route if they'd known they had equity in the Tuckersmith Municipal Telephone System. In a discussion period, one audience member suggested that renters be allowed to pay a specific amount to the company and then become subscribers. Mel Graham said the Telephone Com- mission wouldn't agree to that plan. In seconding the motion calling for further study of the issue, John Broadfoot Of Brucefield said he felt, in all fairness, people should be warned they lose equity in the company when their phone is removed. Mr. Broadfoot said he felt the system should try and recoup those properties where the service was discontinued, and where people may have lost their equity without realizing it. He said for example, the Brucefield United Church manse was a subscriber in the system originally, but is now listed as a renter. He asked when the change had taken place. New Installations When the. five com- missioners of the company were asked to present their reports, chairman Lloyd Ferguson of Hensall reported plans are going ahead to install an automatic identification system on all single and two party lines in Bayfield, at a cost of $20,000. With this system, the operator won't have to ask for the caller's number for long distance calls. Mr. Ferguson sail] “Lthe new system should pay for itself in about 30 months. z He also reported 25 road pushes were installed in 1979, in areas south of Brucefield, Varna to Brucefield, south of Egmondville and from Varna to Hillsgreen. Also repairmen replaced 2600 feet of cable during the year north of Brucefield. Elmer Hayter of Varna told the meeting he's heard the discussion on renters and subscribers almost every year he's attended the an- nual meeting. He suggested the way to find the value in being a subscriber would be to "tell your banker you're a subscriber to the Tucker- smith Municipal Telephone System and see how much he thinks that's worth." Vern Alderdice of RR 3 Kippen, reported the system increased by 126 users in Please turn to page 18 th b ib an a su screr. Mr. Graham said many original subscribers had Hensall unit their phone disconnected at mark Easter because they were renting their home, or because they
