FOUR DA ILY TRAINS “The Shasta” “California Express” “Oregonian” “San Francisco Express” Portland to San Francisco and Seattle, Tacoma and Portland to The Following Letter Is Self Explanatory W h y The Rates of the Aurora Mutual Telephone Co. Should Be Increased This company having asked for an increase in rates and having been granted a hearing, it is both desirable and right that its patrons should know the grounds upon which the demand for an increase are based. A study of the table below shows how the prices of material and of labor have increased since 1914. In spite o f the general impression that all prices are declining there is no prospect whatever of any decline in the price o f telephone material or in skilled labor, for the demand for both is greater today than ever in the history of the telephone industry. Though conducted in the most economical and careful manner the company has run behind during the last twenty months over $850,00—all due to the steadily mounting prices of material and labor necessary to maintain service, to repair or replace worn equipment; to keep pole-lines, circuits and switch boards in repair, and to 'do the con stant work required to keep the plant in operating order. Pole replacement on an extensive scale will be necessary within a year. Repairs are more necessary and more costly each year, due to more rapid depreciation as the lines grow older. Labor skilled in operating and maintaining a plant is scarce and in great demand. Only good wages will command this kind o f labor, but we can afford no other kind, because unskilled labor at telephone work is the very costliest kind. It is plain that our present service cannot be maintained at our present rates, which are much lower than the rates of other companies that render a service equal (sometimes inferior) to ours, because it is impossible to stretch a fixed income to cover expenses that have increased from 75% to 300% on the various kinds of labor and ma terial necessary in the business. Only the utmost economy in expenditures has kept the deficit down to its present figure. The Aurora Mutual Telephone Company was not organized for profit, nevertheless it is not just that its stockholders should build, maintain and operate the telephone sys tem at a loss. The stockholders have no obligation to furnish non-stockholders with telephone service at Jess than cost, but this is what has been happening during the last three years. But what is past cannot be remedied. We ask only your co-operation in the future. It is the desire o f the company to furnish the best service its rates will allow,and if granted an increase, to furnish service all day on Sundays ahd holidays, as well as an emergency night service—for doctor calls and similar service, Few small companies furnish the excellent service this gives, at the low rates it is asking. To maintain this service and the cordial relations between it and its patrons, this full explanation o f con ditions is laid before them.
