John R. Saxton, manager here for the company, said tTie propos- ed rate increase would be applied to every exchange in Michigan Bell territory and virtually every type of service in order that "the increased costs of doing business be shared by all telephone users." While asking for a rate in- crease, the company will propose a general service improvement in Detroit suburban exchanges which would upgrade 4 -party - line service either to individual or 2 -party -line service. Similar ly, multi-party business telephone lines would be changed to indi- vidual lines. ,The change to private or 2 - party -line service throughout the Detroit suburbs would have a further beneficial effect on the usefulness of service," Saxton said. "The change also would pre- pare the way for eventual intro- duction of direct, suburban toll dialing by subscribers throughout the Detroit District Exchange." Saxton said suburban toll dial- ing equipment will operate only in an exchange where there are not more than two telephones per line. As at present, two types of telephone service would be avail- able to residence subscribers here -local area service and extended area service. With local area service, sub- scribers would be able to call ap- proximately 4,840 telephones in the immediate Livonia -Plymouth area. With extended area service at a higher rate, subscribers could call about 103,475 telephones in the Plymouth exchange, the Li- vonia, Farmington and Wayne zones, and the , western areas of the city of Detroit without any charge other than their basic rate. Only local area service will be available to business customers. Both local area and extended area subscribers will be able to make an unlimited number of calls each month to telephones within their respective calling areas. Under the company's proposal, monthly telephone rates here would be increased as follows: Residence, local area, for un- limited calls within the Livonia - Plymouth area only—individual- line, from $2.75 to $3; two -party - line remains unchanged at $2.25; four -party -line to be discontin- ued. Residence, extended area, for unlimited calls to Livonia, Plym- outh, Farmington, Wayne, and western areas of Detroit—indi- vidual-line, from $3.75 to $4.50; two -party -line from $3.25 to $3.75. Business, for unlimited calls within the Livonia -Plymouth area only — individual -line, from $4 to $5.50; four -party -line to be discontinued. "In setting up the rates for the Detroit suburbs," Saxton said, "Michigan Bell will propose as standard schedule divided into seven groups according to' the number of main telephones with- in a zone's local calling area. The groups range from 1 to 3,000 in the first group, to 100,001 to 250,- 000 in the seventh group." Rates for Livonia would fall in- to the next to lowest group, ap- plicable to a suburban exchanges with 3,001 to 6,000 telephones. In addition to Livonia it would in- clude Center Line, Farmington, and Trenton.

Saxton emphasized that the proposed standard rate schedule would clear up rate inequities now existing between communities of comparable development. A Commission or4er of 1939, establishing the Detroit District Exchange, stipulated that exist- ing local service rates for each GET BETTER RESULTS WITH BETTER FEEDS Headquaxters, Poultry Remedies SAXT0. FARM SUPPLY STORE 1 587 W. Ann Arbor Trail i Phone 174 . exchange to be included in the district should continue in ef- fect. The last adjustment of rates —a general reduction—occurred in 1936. Subsequent rapid growth of certain areas has resulted in unequal rates between exchanges, of comparable size today. Livonia users, he added, have been paying rates for years that are on the low side when the tele- phone development and calling opportunity within the exchange are taken into consideration. Of the $10,400,000 rate increase sought by the company, $408,000 would apply in upward local ser- vice adjustments in Detroit sub- urban. exchanges; $2,655,000 in the city of Detroit; $3,051,000 in outstate exchanges; $2,902,000'in increased charges for long-dis- tance calls within the state; and an increase of $1,384,00'0 in mis- cellaneous service items such as switching and equipment charges. Proposed changes in the intra- state long distance rate schedule are: 1. A maximum increase of 5 cents over present charges for distances between 10 and 112 miles._ Z. Reduction in the -initial calling period, before overtime charges, from the present 5 min- utes to 3 minutes for. distances from 11 to 30 miles: 3.. An in- crease in :overtime charges- from the present 1/4,, to 1/ of _the"initial period rate. 4.

Increase in the maxi- mum differential in person-to- person rates over station -to -sta- tion charges from the present 35 per centto 40 per cent. Saxton said the company, in asking for increases in long-dis- tance rates, realized that the Commission several years ago or- dered intrastate rates at that time to conform to interstate levels for comparable distances. He pointed out, however, th%t there is now a differential in most other states in recognition that the long-distance service within the state should contribute more of its share in meeting the overall costs of providing tele- phone service. "If intrastate rates are not in- creased," he emphasized, "it will be necessary to increase the rates for local exchange service still higher. Such an alternative would place an unfair share of the bur- den on that type of service, many users of which would be the least able to pay." Saxton said the new rates "are no higher than necessary to pro- vide good service to all who want it.. The increases are necessary to permit the company to catch up with rising costs of doing busi- ness. _"In general," he declared, "tele- phone rates of today are the same as in 1937, or even lower, although the cost of almost everything used in providing telephone serv- ice has risen sharply. "Wage costs are now four times what they were 10 years ago with postwar wage adjustments alone boosting such costs by $11,000,000 a year. Taxes have more than doubled since 1937. The extent to which the cost of materials and supplies has advanced is indi- cated, in part, by an increase in our five-year postward construe- tign program from an original es- timate of $150,000,000 to a present outlook of $220,000,000.

But the total of all our costs has trebled in the same period," Saxton continued. "As a result, Michigan Bell's return on investment has slipped more than a third under the level of 10 years ago. "The return on investment to- day is on a dangerous downward trend. This trend must be arrest- ed and reversed so that the com- pany will continue to be a sound financial institution, able to at- tract the additional money that is needed from investors for ex- panding and improving the serv- pandingfi and improving the service."

Cooper Favors Annexation Plan At an orderly and well con- ducted meeting held at the Coo- per School this past Monday, a test vote showed that the resi- dents of the district were very much in favor of joining the Li- vonia Township School District. One hundred and one of the 116 persons voting were in favor of joining the Livonia District pro- vided the boundaries were ex- tended. The first .step must be taken by the Livonia Board in which they adopt a resolution to extend the present school district boundaries. The general feeling is that they will adopt this resolu- tion. Upon the adoption of the reso- lution, the voters in the Cooper District must then vote to be an- nexed and if the annexation is passed, a special election must then be held in Livonia in order to find out whether or not this district is in favor of the annex- ation. The next step is then to receive the approval of the Wayne Coun- ty Board of Education. Charles Brake, Deputy Super- intendent of the Wayne County Board of Education, and Harry O. Johnson, Superintendent of the Livonia Township School Dis- trict, both attended this meeting at Cooper school. Most of the meeting was taken up by the answering of questions, submitted by the Cooper District, by Mr. Johnson in regard to transportation, the new high school, grades that would be tak- en from Cooper, kindergarten classes, half day sessions and matters of interest to the Cooper District.
