Telephone Explains Reason for Increasing Current Rates and Tolls Local Manager Outlines Proposed Extended Service in Orange County The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company has applied to the California Public Utilities Commission for increases and adjustments in certain telephone rates throughout the state, it was announced today by the company. The following statement was made: "The number of telephones in service in California has more than kept pace with the last ten years' 54 per cent population growth, but this accomplishment also produced grave financial problems. Our rate application is a necessity, in order that the company may soundly raise the millions it needs for the growing communication needs of the people of California. State-wide rates applied for amount to about $1,500,-000 a month increase to the company after taxes and $2,500,000 before corporate taxes. Costs Soar "The background for our application includes the fact that expenses for employees of Pacific Telephone are $100,000,000 more than they would be under 1939 wages and practices—one-third more than all rate increases. Due largely to inflation, the plant and equipment behind each new telephone added since the war cost $400 as compared to an average of $250 prior to that time. The money for expansion and improvement of telephone plant to meet the needs of this vast growing state must come from investors. Investors" VFW Auxiliary Donates Wheel Chair to City The Anaheim VFW Post Auxiliary have made a wheel chair available to the people this city as a Community Service Project. It will be offered for use of charge and will be kept at Anaheim Fire Department on Broadway. Those in need should obtain a permit from aiting nurse; Mrs. Frances Carr president of the auxiliary or Edna Wisser, chairman of community service committee. A two month time limit has been affixed, however it can kept longer if no other party requested use. Ray Mallonee commander of the post and Min Harvey is president of the auxiliary. Former Anaheim Broker Dies in Santa Ana Morris Levin, former Anaheim real estate broker died at home, 1417 Durant street, Santa Ana, April 18, after a brief illness. He was a member of American Legion Post No. 131, Santa Ana and the Rocky Mountain Lions No. 876 Free and Accepted Mons, of Tooele, Utah. He was a native of Russia had lived in California 30 years and in Santa Ana 20 years. Surviving are his wife, L. R. and one son, Robert E. Levin, Santa Ana. Funeral services will be held penses for employees of Pacific Telephone are $100,000,000 more than they would be under 1939 wages and practices—one-third more than all rate increases. Due largely to inflation, the plant and equipment behind each new telephone added since the war cost $400 as compared to an average of $250 prior to that time. The money for expansion and improvement of telephone plant to meet the needs of this vast growing state must come from investors. Investors will put their savings in our business only if the savings are reasonably safe and produce a reasonable earning. "The rate application is based on the going level and trend of costs. If expenses increase beyond present expectations, because of higher material costs, higher wage rates, or other factors, the appliall subscribers in Anaheim will be able to call without a toll charge, the communities of Buena Park, Fullerton, Brea, Placentia, Orange, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Westminster. The number of telephones that can be called without a toll charge is thus increased from 7,020 to 42,600. Examples of basic monthly charges for the new extended service for Anaheim are as follows: Business extended service: Individual flat rate $10.00; Two-party flat rate $7.75; Residence extended service: Individual flat rate $4.75; Two-party flat rate $4.00; four-party flat rate $3.25. The proposal presented to the commission also asks for an increase in the coin box telephone rate for local messages from five to ten cents. It is known that American children of French, German and British immigrants tend to grow slightly taller than their parents. Alma Pressel Dies at Home Alma Pressel of 403 E.
