Notice to Subscribers
Under authority of the Postmaster General, on account o
recent increase? in wages to employees totaling for the State of
Oregon upwards of »225,000.00, certain changes in exchange rates
have been approved and made effective July 29, 1.119, for t le . tate
of Oregon.
The changes in rates apply pafticularly to residence serv
ice, changes having been made in the principal business rates May
1, 1919.
All new business taken on and after July 29th will bo at
new rates and bills to present subscribers for the month of August
will be rendered at the new rates.
X
The increased rates will yield an annual revenue upwards
of »250,000.00, but as the increase in wages is upwards of *220,-
000 00, the net return to the Company under the rates now
made effective is approximately 2 1-2 per cent on the valuation
of its property at »13,464,000.00, as found by the 1 ublic Service
Commission.
The new schedule of rates is identical with the one ap-
nroved by the Postmaster General for the State of Washington,
which has been in effect since March 1, 1919, and the rates are the
same for exchanges that are comparable.
We believe that no proof as to the advanced cost of liv
ing and the general high costs prevailing for labor and m a te m •
is necessary and that the telephone-using public will accept this
increase in rates in the same spirit
fairness and consideration
as it has the advances in almost every necessity in these unusual
*
times.
