with the survey results We had no preference it s just one of the services we offer Ms Bond said The issue was that each in dividual had to decide tor themselves if they spend enough to warrant the

that people with residential service would have had to use the longdistance line about minutes per month to break even A oneminute call to Toronto costs 34 cents for the first minute and an extra 26 cents for every other minute Georgetown t alone its rejection of the service Milton and also turned it down said Ms Bond But residents in a community east of Caledon East favored the oneprice line to
