JegardleBs of the power of state commissions,' this company uniformly endeavors to fvith rates as to local first authorities before asking agree final action of state bodiep. This policy has been adopted and pursued for three big reasons: .. First: The Company knows It can render more satisfactory service to patrons who are friend and not enemies. In communities where there Is where sentiment tile sentiment. Second: The Company knows that however successful, on paper,' results may be, rate contests are long drawn out; their expenses usually run into many thousands of dollars, and when ended there is ill feeling, and the public pays Invariably the city's expenses through taxation, and the public also pays the company's expenses through rates. - 2. Third: The Company knows that full disclosure and discussion of its needs. Its service and its difficulties generally result in agreements upon fair, just and reasonable rates, and avoidance of any bitter,' and, for both parties, expensive contests before commissions or courts.

Price 35c. k Present and future Telephone Service in Memphis As to the service in Memphis, it is not' now satisfactory, nor is it satisfactory anywhere in America, due to three primary causes: (1) The drafting of the most essential men and women.. Into purely military or naval service, or for telephone service necessary to prosecution of war activities In this country and la 'France. ','XD The depletion of and Inability to Immediately replenish normal supplies of materials necessary for normal current maintenance, and necessary to meet demands for additional service, all due to the government properly demanding and in some cases commandeering everything available for extraordinary war needs here and abroad; and (3) Inability to attract and retain sufficient numbers 3. As the extraordinary efforts made and extraordinary financial inducements offered. All conditions mentioned are Improving, hut too much must not be expected Immediately, because during the period of the country's reconstruction and readjustment the demands for men, women and materials by telephone companies will be nation-wid- e and imperative, while whatever It is Incident to, the times which had made it hard to secure operators can hardly be expected to pass immediately. The Cumberland Company can only pledge itself, which , it does, to tirelessly, persistently and diligently employ of men and money power, it can command to give in Memphis, in ' the shortest time possible, the beet possible service. of trained operators, notwithstanding every-means- to the Rates Embodied in Proposed Agreement However, the proposed Increases are not at all commensurate with the increase In the cost of giving service. They are such as would have been necessary with Increased ervios had prices remained unchanged from the 1914 level. The increased rate for special line unlimited business service Is $7.60, as against the old rate of $6.50. The rate for business measured service special line unlimited inward service, with 125 outward messages, is $5.19, as against the old rate of $4.50; but under the old rata the outward messages, without extra charge, were limited to 100. There are no other changes in the business rates. The increased special line unlimited residence rat Is 44.00, as against the old rate of $3.50. v The rate for residence measured service special line unlimited Inward service and 100 outward messages Is $3. BO, as against the old rate of $3.00, with only 83 outward messages without extra charge. : The rats for line residence unlimited terries Is $8.00, as against the old rate of $2.50. There are no other changes in residence rates. In making the foregoing comparisons, the gross rates have been used, each of which is subject to a discount, of 10 cents if payment is made within ten days from the first of the month, so the net rates required to be paid will be 60 cents less than the figures we have used. The total lncretue in revmne yielded by the preemt rates Is an Increase of only 12 per cent over that yielded by the eld rates. The percentage of increase has been given In order to emphasize the fact that the lncresuM In rates Is not nearly so great aa the increase In cost of material and labor, which are matters of pretty common knowledge; also to be compared with the Increase In other public service charges. By comparing the new rate proposition with the charges embodied in the 1914 contract, it will be noted that the extra mileage id be charged for stations located outside of the municipality Is lower than the mileage charged in the contract which has Just expired. ,r Ai to the rates upon which agreement Is desired, effective .for two years after December 1st, 1919, they are those and now in effect, and adopted by the Postmaster-Generapproved by Congress. In 1912, 1913 and 1914 there was rate litigation between this company and the city, not of the company's! seeking, however. In the first suit the courts sustained the company, and while the second suit was pending in 1914 an 'agreement as to rates was made and the second suit was dismissed. In passing It Is perfectly proper to say that the litigation was of no value to the public; It was very expensive to both the city, and the company, but all of the expense, of course,, was, as usual, passed finally to the taxpayers and al . telephone users. The ajtreement of 1W4 prescribed rates which should remain in effect until there should be connected with the Memphis Exchange 30,000 stations. More than that number are now connected with the Memphis Exchange, and so the agre0" ment of 1014 is no longer binding upon either party. ' On July 1st,' 1914, the Memphis Exchange had 14,089 stations. Today it has over 20,000. It is universally known that as the number of stations increases the cost of rendering service to each subscriber and the value of the service to each subscriber likewise Increases. So it follpwa that with an increase of six thousand (8,000) stations, or of approximately 42.8 per cent over 1914. the company would be en- titled to a material Increase in rates, even bad no war con- -' ditions intervened to intrease enormously taxes and the cost of labor, money and of materials Involved in rendering service. But war conditions have Intervened. The 1014 contract contemplated an Increase in rates when 90,000 stations were connected, even had wages and prices as they then existed continued. But war conditions have increased the price of those items. Wages have been advanced very greatly. Materials cost more than ever In telephone history. Thus even without the great increase in telephone stations, fairness would demand an increase in rates, because of the unexpected results of war. , two-par- 4.v Service Connection, Changes year, with their attendant penalties for discontinuance; ' In explanation of this charge, the following is true: A very large part of the cost of furnishing the public service Is due to the fact that telephone systems must be prepared to connect new subscribers, of demand, and to the' fact that the period of service Is comparatively of short i duration, on the average. Some of these costs, due to the rapid turnover of phone development, are obvious, such as commercial, traffic and accounting eipense for opening accounts, and the plant expense involved tn establishing connection and In disconnecting telephones, including loss incident to wiring, terminal depreciation, etc. which are due to the : The greater part of the expenses, movement of the telephone population, or what might be termed the Shortness of life of the average telephone Installation, are not at all apparent. Some of these less envious Items my be cited as follows: (a) Were It not for the necessity of providing for new Installations, for disconnections and for changes in the loca 5. ty and Removal Charges tions ot subscribers, there is no telephone exchange in the country which would require more than one directory Issue a year. The saving In directories alone for the entire country would probably equal, If not exceed, $3,000,000 per annum. (b) If additions, changes and disconnections were not necessary, practically all of that traffic expense Involved in . the maintenance of information operators could be saved. (c) A very large amount 0f tne w0rR n the wire chiefs office is that due to what Is called reassignment of cable repairs necessary to secure the most efficient use of the. cable plant. Were it not for the additions, disconnections and public, practically all of changes made by the telephone-usin- g this expense could be discontinued, and, In addition, it would be possible to secure a much more efficient plant, because it would be unnecessary to maintain the normal amount of spare cable facilities. , (d) Particularly In coanectlon with changes of location ' It is usually necessary to plus or mark the multlpU answering Jack of disconnected or mhved subscribers until at least the lssuanco of a new directory, This requires th maintenance of a considerable additional amount of spare switchboard plant, and unquestionably In, many Instances las forced the installation of expensive switchboard additions before they otherwise would have been requlredv (e) In both the commercial ana accounting depart rj eats ' very great savings could be made by the use of forms o'ihort- which are not efficient under normal conditions of v lived telephone installation. As to the proposed service connection, changes and removal charges, these charges are the same in all exchanges throughout the Cumberland and Souther Bell territory, and havebeen effective since December 1st, 1918, and when they were made effective the company discontinued its requirement that subscribers should make yearly contracts for service and agreed to accept from subscribers monthly contracts, thereby relieving the subscribers of obligations running from year to j rec-or- ds Further Suggestions in Support of Proposed Agreement In' addition to what has been said of the fairness of the proposed increases, which Is sufficient, the company feels, to justify: prompt and ,favorable,actlon, the following additional considerations are respectfully submitted as suggesting the wisdom, from the standpoint of the city, ot making the agrttV ... ment: (a) Tha Increases lfl rates are no greater than would De-be fully warranted In times of normal prices and conditions. mands for wage Increases are general in all lines of production, and eo an early reduction In the cost of telephone material is extremely unlikely indeed, the reverse seems Sti more probable. Many of our employes are demanding wage in- creases, and if there is to be no reduction in the cost of living It may be .necessary to grant some Increases. - No while it is certain thathigher rates than those proposed could now he reasonably demanded, it may become in fact necessary wlJi two years to demand snrh higher rates unions an exiting contract of .the company with the city shall prevent, It-- Therefore, the - proponed agreement, while it would merely embody the con sent of the city to what are now rertahilv reasonable rates, it would at the same time protect absolutely the nubile for two I years from December 1st, 1910, against any higher rates. , (b), if your honorable body shall approve the purchase by the Cumberland ot the properties ot the Memphis Telephone ' Company and the purchase 18 consummated, there will be added to the Cumberland Memphis exchange probably 2,000 stations, Increasing the value ot the service to all present Cum- -' berland subscribers, and at the same time increasing the cost to the company ot furnishing service to each subscriber. Nevertheless, with the proposed agreement made, there would be ; innmii ''Let's All Drink Tea "I - Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Co.

JegardleBs of the power of state commissions,' this company uniformly endeavors to fvith rates as to local first authorities before asking agree final action of state bodiep. This policy has been adopted and pursued for three big reasons: .. First: The Company knows It can render more satisfactory service to patrons who are friend and not enemies. In communities where there Is where sentiment tile sentiment. Second: The Company knows that however successful, on paper,' results may be, rate contests are long drawn out; their expenses usually run into many thousands of dollars, and when ended there is ill feeling, and the public pays Invariably the city's expenses through taxation, and the public also pays the company's expenses through rates. - 2. Third: The Company knows that full disclosure and discussion of its needs. Its service and its difficulties generally result in agreements upon fair, just and reasonable rates, and avoidance of any bitter,' and, for both parties, expensive contests before commissions or courts.

Price 35c. k Present and future Telephone Service in Memphis As to the service in Memphis, it is not' now satisfactory, nor is it satisfactory anywhere in America, due to three primary causes: (1) The drafting of the most essential men and women.. Into purely military or naval service, or for telephone service necessary to prosecution of war activities In this country and la 'France. ','XD The depletion of and Inability to Immediately replenish normal supplies of materials necessary for normal current maintenance, and necessary to meet demands for additional service, all due to the government properly demanding and in some cases commandeering everything available for extraordinary war needs here and abroad; and (3) Inability to attract and retain sufficient numbers 3. As the extraordinary efforts made and extraordinary financial inducements offered. All conditions mentioned are Improving, hut too much must not be expected Immediately, because during the period of the country's reconstruction and readjustment the demands for men, women and materials by telephone companies will be nation-wid- e and imperative, while whatever It is Incident to, the times which had made it hard to secure operators can hardly be expected to pass immediately. The Cumberland Company can only pledge itself, which , it does, to tirelessly, persistently and diligently employ of men and money power, it can command to give in Memphis, in ' the shortest time possible, the beet possible service. of trained operators, notwithstanding every-means- to the Rates Embodied in Proposed Agreement However, the proposed Increases are not at all commensurate with the increase In the cost of giving service. They are such as would have been necessary with Increased ervios had prices remained unchanged from the 1914 level. The increased rate for special line unlimited business service Is $7.60, as against the old rate of $6.50. The rate for business measured service special line unlimited inward service, with 125 outward messages, is $5.19, as against the old rate of $4.50; but under the old rata the outward messages, without extra charge, were limited to 100. There are no other changes in the business rates. The increased special line unlimited residence rat Is 44.00, as against the old rate of $3.50. v The rate for residence measured service special line unlimited Inward service and 100 outward messages Is $3. BO, as against the old rate of $3.00, with only 83 outward messages without extra charge. : The rats for line residence unlimited terries Is $8.00, as against the old rate of $2.50. There are no other changes in residence rates. In making the foregoing comparisons, the gross rates have been used, each of which is subject to a discount, of 10 cents if payment is made within ten days from the first of the month, so the net rates required to be paid will be 60 cents less than the figures we have used. The total lncretue in revmne yielded by the preemt rates Is an Increase of only 12 per cent over that yielded by the eld rates. The percentage of increase has been given In order to emphasize the fact that the lncresuM In rates Is not nearly so great aa the increase In cost of material and labor, which are matters of pretty common knowledge; also to be compared with the Increase In other public service charges. By comparing the new rate proposition with the charges embodied in the 1914 contract, it will be noted that the extra mileage id be charged for stations located outside of the municipality Is lower than the mileage charged in the contract which has Just expired. ,r Ai to the rates upon which agreement Is desired, effective .for two years after December 1st, 1919, they are those and now in effect, and adopted by the Postmaster-Generapproved by Congress. In 1912, 1913 and 1914 there was rate litigation between this company and the city, not of the company's! seeking, however. In the first suit the courts sustained the company, and while the second suit was pending in 1914 an 'agreement as to rates was made and the second suit was dismissed. In passing It Is perfectly proper to say that the litigation was of no value to the public; It was very expensive to both the city, and the company, but all of the expense, of course,, was, as usual, passed finally to the taxpayers and al . telephone users. The ajtreement of 1W4 prescribed rates which should remain in effect until there should be connected with the Memphis Exchange 30,000 stations. More than that number are now connected with the Memphis Exchange, and so the agre0" ment of 1014 is no longer binding upon either party. ' On July 1st,' 1914, the Memphis Exchange had 14,089 stations. Today it has over 20,000. It is universally known that as the number of stations increases the cost of rendering service to each subscriber and the value of the service to each subscriber likewise Increases. So it follpwa that with an increase of six thousand (8,000) stations, or of approximately 42.8 per cent over 1914. the company would be en- titled to a material Increase in rates, even bad no war con- -' ditions intervened to intrease enormously taxes and the cost of labor, money and of materials Involved in rendering service. But war conditions have Intervened. The 1014 contract contemplated an Increase in rates when 90,000 stations were connected, even had wages and prices as they then existed continued. But war conditions have increased the price of those items. Wages have been advanced very greatly. Materials cost more than ever In telephone history. Thus even without the great increase in telephone stations, fairness would demand an increase in rates, because of the unexpected results of war. , two-par- 4.v Service Connection, Changes year, with their attendant penalties for discontinuance; ' In explanation of this charge, the following is true: A very large part of the cost of furnishing the public service Is due to the fact that telephone systems must be prepared to connect new subscribers, of demand, and to the' fact that the period of service Is comparatively of short i duration, on the average. Some of these costs, due to the rapid turnover of phone development, are obvious, such as commercial, traffic and accounting eipense for opening accounts, and the plant expense involved tn establishing connection and In disconnecting telephones, including loss incident to wiring, terminal depreciation, etc. which are due to the : The greater part of the expenses, movement of the telephone population, or what might be termed the Shortness of life of the average telephone Installation, are not at all apparent. Some of these less envious Items my be cited as follows: (a) Were It not for the necessity of providing for new Installations, for disconnections and for changes in the loca 5. ty and Removal Charges tions ot subscribers, there is no telephone exchange in the country which would require more than one directory Issue a year. The saving In directories alone for the entire country would probably equal, If not exceed, $3,000,000 per annum. (b) If additions, changes and disconnections were not necessary, practically all of that traffic expense Involved in . the maintenance of information operators could be saved. (c) A very large amount 0f tne w0rR n the wire chiefs office is that due to what Is called reassignment of cable repairs necessary to secure the most efficient use of the. cable plant. Were it not for the additions, disconnections and public, practically all of changes made by the telephone-usin- g this expense could be discontinued, and, In addition, it would be possible to secure a much more efficient plant, because it would be unnecessary to maintain the normal amount of spare cable facilities. , (d) Particularly In coanectlon with changes of location ' It is usually necessary to plus or mark the multlpU answering Jack of disconnected or mhved subscribers until at least the lssuanco of a new directory, This requires th maintenance of a considerable additional amount of spare switchboard plant, and unquestionably In, many Instances las forced the installation of expensive switchboard additions before they otherwise would have been requlredv (e) In both the commercial ana accounting depart rj eats ' very great savings could be made by the use of forms o'ihort- which are not efficient under normal conditions of v lived telephone installation. As to the proposed service connection, changes and removal charges, these charges are the same in all exchanges throughout the Cumberland and Souther Bell territory, and havebeen effective since December 1st, 1918, and when they were made effective the company discontinued its requirement that subscribers should make yearly contracts for service and agreed to accept from subscribers monthly contracts, thereby relieving the subscribers of obligations running from year to j rec-or- ds Further Suggestions in Support of Proposed Agreement In' addition to what has been said of the fairness of the proposed increases, which Is sufficient, the company feels, to justify: prompt and ,favorable,actlon, the following additional considerations are respectfully submitted as suggesting the wisdom, from the standpoint of the city, ot making the agrttV ... ment: (a) Tha Increases lfl rates are no greater than would De-be fully warranted In times of normal prices and conditions. mands for wage Increases are general in all lines of production, and eo an early reduction In the cost of telephone material is extremely unlikely indeed, the reverse seems Sti more probable. Many of our employes are demanding wage in- creases, and if there is to be no reduction in the cost of living It may be .necessary to grant some Increases. - No while it is certain thathigher rates than those proposed could now he reasonably demanded, it may become in fact necessary wlJi two years to demand snrh higher rates unions an exiting contract of .the company with the city shall prevent, It-- Therefore, the - proponed agreement, while it would merely embody the con sent of the city to what are now rertahilv reasonable rates, it would at the same time protect absolutely the nubile for two I years from December 1st, 1910, against any higher rates. , (b), if your honorable body shall approve the purchase by the Cumberland ot the properties ot the Memphis Telephone ' Company and the purchase 18 consummated, there will be added to the Cumberland Memphis exchange probably 2,000 stations, Increasing the value ot the service to all present Cum- -' berland subscribers, and at the same time increasing the cost to the company ot furnishing service to each subscriber. Nevertheless, with the proposed agreement made, there would be ; innmii ''Let's All Drink Tea "I - Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Co.
