Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Telephone Service and Rates<br/><br/>In South Chicago, West Pullman, Burnside, Hegewisch, Chicago Lawn, Longwood, Riverdale, Washington Heights, South Englewood, Austin, Cragin, Irving Park, Jefferson Park, Norwood Park, Rogers Park and Mont Clare, sixteen localities in all, the Chicago Telephone Company maintains local or neighborhood exchanges, with rates vary ing from.$1.50 to per month for unlimited residence or business service. The Company has provided such local service at lower rates on account Of the fact that in these particular districts the telephone use is almost entirely Of a local character. The subscribers' lines are located within smaller areas and the use Of the telephone is more lim ited and more nearly uniform. At the present time the Company charges a higher rate in South Chicago than in the other neighborhood exchange districts. This fact has been the cause Of much complaint from telephone patrons in South Chicago. The Company has claimed to justify this condition on account Of the larger number Of subscribers and the greater length Of lines. The Committee has prepared a uni form schedule Of rates for all such exchanges hereafter. This class of service has proven to be extremely popular with telephone users in such isolated districts. It gives communication to the grocer, the butcher, the druggist, to all local business houses and to one's social associates at a very low price. However, the Company has established a system Of toll charges in connection with such exchanges which has proven unsatisfactory. This subject is discussed elsewhere under the head Of Local Tolls. During the consideration Of the telephone subject by the Committee. Many communications and petitions were received by the Committee, insisting upon the retention Of neighborhood exchange service.
