The MI! bscrlbe1'-owners of the Bru e Municipal Tele- 'phone.System will make an historic decision next week. On Aug. 30 they will accept one of seven tenders to buy the 73 -year-old system, which serves approximately 10,000 customers in the communities of Port Elgin, Kincardine, Paisley and Tiverton. The bids range from a high of $10.5 million offered by the Bell Telephone Company of Canada to a low of $5.4 million from the muni cipalities of Paisley, Kin- cardine and Elderslie. Although the Bell bid is the highest, subscribers are under no obligation to accept the highest tender. They will be considering which bid will maintain the present reasonable rates, retain local control, maintain high standards of service, keep local offices open and keep the present employees on the job. The second-highest bid, offered by Lakeshore Tele- communications of Port Elgin at $9.5 million, is unique in that the present subscribers will retain 50 per cent ownership. According to Ron McIntosh, one of the prin- cipals in Lakeshore Com- munications, "Local ownership will increase to 75.5 per cent, with sub- scribers retaining 50 per cent, if our bid is accepted. In addition, each subscriber will receive an immediate lump -sum payment of $13,380. "This is slightly lower than the Bell bid, but we will keep all the present employees, maintain the same rates and keep all the local offices and work centres.. We have no pians to increase rates or change mileage charges. In fact, we are proposing a profit-sharing plan for employees within one year if our bid is successful. No other tender includes these benefits." A local residential phone nw costs $4.80 a month, with a $17 connecting charge, while a business phone is $9.90 with a $34 connection charge. Bell rates in neigh- boring Southampton are nearly double: $7.95 for a residential phone with a $37.75 connection charge and $17.80 for a business phone with a $89.25 connection charge. Mr. McIntosh also said his company would expand the present five -member board of commissioners to a 10 - member board, of whom at least five would be local people, and with a local chairman. Present sub- scrit1ers would be offered first rights to acquire 32.5 million m preferred shares with a 14 per cent annual dividend. Other tenders have been prepared by the employees of the , Bruce Municipal Telephone System in part- nership with the Wightman Telephone System and Durham Telephone System at $9,002,000; Bruce Tele- phone Company, $9 million; Amtelecom-Bruce Inc., $9,151,000; PBX Dominion Telecommunications and Supplies Ltd., $9.2 million, and Paisley, Kincardine and Elderslie at $5,418,000.
