seeking approval to increase tele-
phone rates was filed today with
the Board of Transport Commis-
Sioners for Canada by• The • Bell
Telephone Company of Canada. '
• The proposed increases for resi-
dence telephone rates range from
10 to .45 cents per month, and for
business servige from 15 cents to

board to make the new rates effec-
tive "at the earliest possible date".
'The hearing of the coMpany's

president, it is stated that a gross
ineome hroperating revenues of $16
Million is being sought.

der of April 29 rescinding the
January 10 judgment of the Board
of Transport CoMmissioners which
awarded the company higher rates,
Mr. Eadie'S 'letter says:
"This company has an obligation
to serve the public. To do so, we
must rotain the ' confidence of in-
yeators through a sound approach
financial as well as other
management problems. Early rate
relief is essential if we are to pre-
serve this confidence, and to oper-
ate and develop our services in a
way that will satisfy the needs of
cuStomers.

'
The proposed increases in. long
distance rates-within' Ontario and
Quebec. only---are largely in per-
son-to-person calling. Adjustments
are proposed in initial period rates
of five cents at. most mileage steps
between points up to' 35 Miles
apart. For longer diStances, the in-
creases are somewhat higher in
most cases.
Bell Telephone's present general
level of rates became effective" on
March 1, 1952.
The company's application' states
that, under its present rate state-
ture, net income for 1958 is esti-
mated at $1.98 a shake. The pro-
posed revisions 'to its tariff; when
effective for a full year, would in-
crease -net income .to the level ap-
proved by th bogrd 'in it's judg-
ment of January 10, 1958. In that
judgment the board noted that.the
company maintained a average
earning of $2.42 a share during the
six-year period 1952 thiough 1957,
Following collective bargaining.
wage rates have been increased, on
the average, by per cent ef-
fective at the beginning of June.
The application 'provides for 'rev-
enues to 'cover this increased
ployee expense, In addition, the
company is still facd with the in-
creased costs that led it to. apply
for higher rates last August. ,
