Opening Set
Activation of Beaver Slate Tel
ephone Company's new dial cen
tral office al Paisley is scheduled
for 11:01 p.m. Saturday. Jan. 5.
William Caslle, company man
ager, said that opening of the
new facility will culminate a $45,-

State's Paisley and Summer Lake
exchanges and provide them with
a common operating center at
Paisley.
Beaver Stale's Lakeview cen
tral office serves Paisley's 68

function to the new automatic
exchange at Paisley will enable
the company to supply both busi
ness and residential one - and
and two-party service within a
base rate area coinciding with
Paisley's city boundaries.
Rearrangement of plant to
make this higher-grade service
available was requested by a
number of Paisley residents, ac
cording to Castle. Consequently,
Beaver Slate, lilcd with the state
regulatory authority at Salem a
tariff reflecting the greater costs
of such service.
Castle said that typical monthly
rales under the tariff will be
$8.20 and $7.05 respectively, for
one- and two-parly residential
service in the Paisley base rate
area. Business rates will be $11.80
for one-parly service and $10.05
for two-party service. The exist
ing suburban rate o $6.15 tor
residential service outside the
BRA will continue.
Paisley subscribers outside the
Paislev base rate area will pay
an additional mileage charge for
classified service from the near
est BRA boundary to their
homes. The company's $45,000
nroiect covers land, building and
inside plant only. Caslle said, dui
the new rates rctlcct all costs, in
eluding those of outside plant.
