Dependable 9* more 70 years—Arnsrica’s «ted fttvorttB. , ■ t Please Read this Notice .of Request For Increase in Telephone Rates Your Tolephono Company ha§ found k tmpurativo to file application wkh tho South Carolina Public Sorvico Commission for higher rotas on local toisphono sorvico and on most long distance calls wkhin tho state. This action was taken because telephone earnings arm dangerously low and reasonable earnings are required to furnish adequate service. We ask that you read this message carefully so you .will understand clearly why increased telephone rafes are necessary. 1 Your telephone rate Is low and tt is the earnest desire of your Telephone Company to keep it low. While your rate has remained the same for many years, the total cost of fumishing telephone service has steadily gone up. Since 1940 our expenses for South Carolina operations have increased 154 per cent, while revenue increased only 108 per .cent. Wage Rates Up $1,510,000 Huch of tk« increase in expenses is represented by wages, since wages make up the greater part of the cost of furnishing telephone service. Wages have been raised in keeping with national policies and the general trend throughout the country. These wage increases were nec essary to assure, through competent personnel, the pro vision of an adequate service. Telephone wage rates in l^uth Carolina have been raised during the past 18 months by |1,510,000 on an annual basis. Since the first of this year, 28,000 new telephones have been installed in South C!arolina, but 16,000 people are atill waiting for telephones. This demand forces us to build new facilities now, in the face of high costs. The eost of erecting buildings has jumped 75 to 100 per cent; the overall cost of providing telephone facilities has ad vanced 45 to 60 per tent and the cost of telephbne mate rials has increased 16 to 25 per cent. Despite these high costs, we telephone folks—and there are 2,500 of us pro viding service in South Carolina—^must continue to im- pipve service generally. Our plans call for gross expendi tures of approximately 121,000,000 for telephone con- Btruction in South Carolina during the next five years. pRy^Oot Is Ineretaing Faster Than Take-In With the tremendous increase in the expenses of fundsh- ing telephone service and with rates unchanged for years, we have a difficult time making ends meet So much so, that today we find ourselves confronted with the lowest earnings in our history in spits of a record vohims of business. No business can long continue tp render service when the amount paid out to provide that service is increasing faster than the amount ta^ in. Therefore, it is our duty, as your public servant, to report this condition to SOUTHBtN ULt TELERHONI AND imiORAFH €p|MFANY J } INCORPOEATID you since it directly affects your telephone service. Wa. must appeal to you for relief through the South (Carolina Public Service Commission, which regulates our rates. The requested rate increase for local service would be on a sliding scale depending on sixe of locality. Author ity is also being asked for an increase of 5 cents on most long distance calls within the state. Residence Rate Hdd at Minimum The requested rate increase will not produce all the added revenue that current costs indicatp is needed but will afford immediate relief. Whether the requested rates will prove sufficient will be determined by operating experi ence under the new rates. Hie increases requested on resi dential service were held to a minimum. Your Telephone Company feels that it is to the best interest of every busi ness man in South Carolina that residential rates re main as low as possible. The new rates we are asking represent an increase of about 9Vi per cent of our total revenue in South Ouiolina. This is small when compared with the increased costs of doi^ business. In fact, even with the new rates, tple- phone charges generally would be as low as they were 25 years ago, while service has been considerably extended and its value has been increased many times. ' Southern Bell wants rates no higher than necessary to furnish everyone with good service and safeguard the full usefulness of the telephone to this community. The pro posed'rates are the very minimum we can get by on. In the face of rising costs, they are very mod^ •V m V * -• PROPOSED NEW MONTHLY RATES FOR CAMDEN, S. C. . ^ / e Ooto-Pty. Two-Pty.
