Public Service Commission Puts
Maximum Charge Much Lower
Than in Burleson's Schedule.
EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1
Change Does Not Affect Pacific
Telephone Company, Which Is
Still Government Controlled,
Salem, Aug. 21. Maximum serv
ice .connection and moving: charges
.for telephone companies operating in
the state of Oregon, with the excep
tion of the Pacific Telephone &
.Telegraph company. Involving ma
terial reductions from the Burleson
made charges, are 'fixed in an order
Issued by. the public service com
mission Wednesday, effective Sep-
. tember 1. Copies of the order. are be
ing sent to all companies affected,
numbering som 300 independent
lines, all o.f which have been released
from government control and re-
. turned to jurisdiction of the state
regulatory body.
- Under" the new schedule the charge for
. Installing an Individual or party line
service in exchanges of 1000 or more
subscribers will toe $3:50, the same-as
under the Burleson rate, tout the charpe
; for smailer exchanges has been reduced
from $3.50 to $2.50.
REDUCED FROM SS.S0 TO $2.50
The charge for installing extension
stations- in exchanges of 1000 or more
subscribers is reduced from $3.50 to $::,
and in exchanges of less than 1000 sub
scribers the charge is reduced from $3.50
to $1.60. .
For Establishing private branch ex
. change service the charge of $3 50 for"
wlv trunk lin rTnrnctinar t h a nrivat
. branch exchange with a central office
and for each telephone, except operators
. telephone sets, connected to the private
, branch exchange, remains unchanged in
- exchanges of 1000 or more. In exchanges
of less than 1000 subscribers the charge
ts reduced from $3.50 to $3.50.
' For establishing service by the use
. of Instrumentalities already in place
upon the . subscriber's premises. and
where no change is made in the type or
" location of these instrumentalities, to
cover directory, switchboard and cir
cuit expense -on each line, the charge
is reduced from $1.50 to $1".
CHARGES IfOT MANDATORY
For moving a telephone from one loca
tion to another in the same room the
charge is reduced from $3 to $1.
For moving a telephone f com one loca
tion to another in the same building,
but not in the same room, the charge
For changing the type of telephone
sets the charge is reduced from $3 to
$1. .
The charges fixed in this order, the
commission explained, are not manda
tory but are simply a maximum charge
for the various classes of service. Some
mailer companies, it was stated, would
perhaps make no charges at all, while
others would perhaps fix a schedule of
charges much lower than these figures.
The charges, it was explained, are
based upon the actual order which was
regarded as a convenience to the in
dividual subscriber, and not to the serv
ice generally, and are intended to allo
cate the expenses thus incurred to the
individual served, rather than to the
subscribers aft a whole.
,8TEADT USERS FAVORED
"Large numbers of subscribers are of
Mnm lea, t.miulont r a wo .. J -
not long retain service in any one loca
tion," reads an explanatpry statement
issued by the commission in justifica
tion of the charges contained in the new
order.
. "For this and other reasons, a demand
ts produced for frequent disconnection,
change and reestablishment of service.
Without some method of assessing the
expenses and losses involved in these
transactions against the Individual sub
scribers, in measure as each is respon
sible, they become a common burden
against all patrons, to the detriment of
the substantial, permanent subscribers,
and to the unjust advantage of short
term and less stable users of the service."
Salvation "Army Is
$10 Richer, While
Donor Teels Lucky
Ion't you think you owe us some
thing for letting you off so easy this
time?" asked the officer in charge of
the police traffic bureau of an auto
salesman Wednesday. The salesman
had parked three cars on a street and
left them for a week, fcontrary to city
ordinances.
'Yes. I do."
"Well." here. then. Donate to the
Salvation army. They do a good work."
"You bet 'they do good work,!' said
the ' auto man. "My nephews overseas
told me all about them. Here's a check
for $10." He deposited the check in
a collection box in the traffic depart
ment. .
