Our construction program for the next ten-year period includes numerous cable programs ; whereby old lines will be replaced by new underground cables; new cables installed will enable us to provide extend- ed area service to neighbouring communities as war- ranted; additional office equipment will have to be installed to meet the requirements of old and new customers and in some instances extensions to ex- isting buildings will have to be made, all of which will exceed a cost of $250,000.00. The proposed construction program will take place in all three exchanges of the System, namely Dash- wood, Grand Bend and Zurich and we are certain the proposed programs will benefit all our subscr- ibers, however, in order to help us achieve our goals it has become necessary to take a look at our rate structure. Our rate structure has not changed since our exchanges were converted from manual oper- ation to dial operation and since the material req- uired in our construction program is increased in cost; we feel a rate increase at this time can be justified. The rate increases we propose are in line with the major telephone companies. Application has been made to the Ontario Teleph- one Service Commission for authority to make the following charges for telephone service effective July lst, 1971. EXCHANGE RATES - All Exchanges PER MONTH Individual Line Business 7.30 Residence 4.05 Business 5.85 Residence 3.15 Two -Party Line Multi -Party Line Business 4.40 Extension Phones Residence usiness Residence PBX Trunk GRAND BEND ZONE RATES Zone 1 Individual Line Two -Party Line Zone 2 Four -Party Line Multiparty Line Business Residence Business Residence Business Residence Business Residence 3.05 1.25 11.00 8.05 4.80 6.35 3.65 5.50 3.25 4.40 3.05 If individual or two-party line service is required outside the Base Rate Areas of _the three exchanges or Zone 1 (Grand Bend), excess circuit charges will apply. SUBSCRIBER RATES A paid-up subscriber shall pay 50 cents per month less than the above listed renter rates. A new subscriber shall pay the subscriber's rate plus $1.50 per month for ten years at which time he will be considered to be a paid-up sub- scriber. This application will be heard before the Commis- sion at its next regular meeting in Toronto. Any re- presentations to be made to the Commission with respect to this application should, therefore, be sub- mitted on or before May 31st, 1971, and addressed to The Chairman, Ontario Telephone Service Comm- ission, Department of Agricuture and Food, Parlia- ment Buildings, Toronto 2, Ontario. If you desire any further information in reference to the need for increasing the telephone rates, you may apply to the undersigned either personally, by telephone, or by letter. W. C.
