OUR SLOGAN At last two members of every family, members of the horticultural society in 1926—Tryit and watch results. s y u J. S. HARVEY, President J. G. STANBURY Secretary -Treasurer 1 b Chief Concern IIT the matter of telephone service we believe the•public's chief concern is in two points: -- 11] People want to know that they can. count upon getting a complete tele- phone service of high quality, day and night, now and in the future. ice„ People want such service at a price that is as low as sound business prac- tice permits, and less than the value of the service received. (these points are the essence of true public service, and this company is just as deeply :coil' -perned in them as is the public. Alt the present time, as we have explained, an increase in rates isneeded to assurethe con- • tinuance of the kind of service our subscribers require. {rhe reasons are:— DJ re:[1] Our earnings per telephone have de- clined, due to the great development :" of lower rate service, such as two- party line. [2] Large additions to plant at present- day prices, as compared with the low price levels of a few years ago, have increased the fixed charges to be pro- vided from our earnings. The low rate of depreciation suggested by. the Beard of Railway Commission- ers, ommissioners, as a temporary- measure, is now known to be inadequate to protect the investment. "[3] reasonable adjustment of the wide differ- ence between present telephone rates and ,the cost of doing business is an obvious necessity. ,Snell technical subjects as property valuation, rate of return, and depreciation expense have en important part in determining telephone rates. Casual discussion of such subjects is Often misleading for it can deal only briefly • With matters that must be 'gone into in great 'detail to be clearly understood. These and all other factors will be presented in 7111 detail to be fully• considered b y the proper publie authority, the Board of Railway' Com-.. initssio lers for Canada. The booklet "Telephone Service and states' states the facts of our position. A copy has been mailed to all ottr subscribers.
