Bentley High School. To better acquaint the students who will attend the George Ben - ley High School and the residents in the Township with this man a little of the history of his life is being passed on to the readers. Mr. Bentley is one of two sons, born to Mr. and Mrs. John Ben- tley July 1, 1875 at the old home- stead on Five Mile Road directly east ,of the Old Dutch in Livonia Township. George attended the old one room, ungraded Elm School on Middlebelt road, walking the two and one half miles each day. The class vhried in size from 50 to 60 students depending on the time of the year. During the planting and harvest time the older boys, sons of farmers, would be out of school for several months until the work was caught up. His high school education was gained at Plymouth High grad- uating in 1894.

That's true of everything you buy, including telephone service. So—answering the question above —a rate increase is a good thing fbi telephone users when it is needed to protect their interests from a service standpoint. The last time there was an increase in telephone rates was 21 years ago. From 1926 until 1937, rates went down substantially. Since 1937, there have been still further local reductions in a number of exchanges and decreases in toll rates. Except for those further re- ductions, 1937 rates haven't changed, although the cost of most things — wages, taxes, supplies — has gone up. Just since the war, wage adjustments alone have upped our costs $11,000,000 a year. This includes settlements reached during the recent strike. Lump all our costs together and you'll find they've gone up much faster than our income. Since 1937, our income has gone up 141907. But costs have gone up 193/17o7. And our return on investment has dropped more than a third. Now we face the fact that 1937 rates won't work in 1947. We don't like a rate increase any more than you do. We've waited until the last possible moment to ask for one. But that moment has now arrived. There's a lot of work to be done and a lot of money to be spent to give more and better service to everybody who wants it. The money will have .to come from investors. They will' fur- nish it only if they can be sure of a fair return, which our present rates are simply too low. to provide. A grow- ing business, especially, has to earn a good return in order to attract the capital needed for growth. Telephone rates are regulated by,. the Michigan Public Service Com- mission, a body established by State law and appointed by the Governor. We're going to wask the Commission for a public hearing to review our proposed new schedule of rates. Dur- ing the week of August 3, we'll pub- lish details of the proposed rates throughout Michigan Bell territory. After that, we'll file a petition with the Public Service Commission. NOTE Where the term "Income" is used above, its meaning is the same as "Revenue" or "Gross Income.' Where the term "Investment` is used. it means the original cost of the telephone prop- erty less the depreciation reserve accrued against the ultimate retirement of the property. The whole future of Michigan's tele- phone service depends on raising rates enough to assure the financial stability of your telephone company. We're sure you want us to take this step to assure you the kind of service you want. 1937 TELEPHONE RATES WON'T WORK IN 1947 TODAY'S SITUATION COMPARED WITH 1931 INCOME 0P 141% 200%d ----� -1500ic RETURN ON INVESTMENT DOWN MORE THAN A THIRD MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY 100% 50% 50%a Page'6 LIV0NIAN' Wednesday., July 23, 1347` onia Township Board since cot past two years president.

It is a factory too—a factory for producing food During the last full year of the war, the American farmer produced 1/3 more crops with 10% less manpower. How? By using factory methods. By letting elec- trical power and electric equipment do the heavy, time -taking farm chores. Production costs of your farm factory are reduced in direct proportion to increased output. Exactly as production costs are lowered in the city factory. Our Farm Service Advisor will be glad to give you helpful advice on how electricity can step up production and put more dollars in your pocket. Just call your nearest Edison office and ask for the Farm bervice Advisor. He is trained and ready to help you make that new factory on your old "Back Forty" produce more for less. 0 There are more than 200 farm jobs that electricity ' will do. In the farm yard and in the farm home electricity does these jobs faster, better and for less money than doing them any other way. In water pumping, feed grinding, gutter cleaning, poultry brooding, milking, grain and ,hay finish- ing and hundreds of other jobs electricity is the dependable low cost way to increased profits. llptr®it :Edison Cc N Page 12 L I V O N I A N Wednesday, July 23, 1947 FOR SALE FILL DIRT, top soil, and, gravel and crushed rock.
