There will be no increase in basic rates now in effect tor residence customers or for flat fate t>r message rate business custtftners and no increases in long distance or suburban toll rates. Minor Changes are proposed In a few Instances other than the public call rate. O. K, McCorkle, president of the company, said, "This action would end the 1948 rate case litigation and carry out the decision of the Winnebago county circuit court at Rockford, avoiding further expensive proceedings which have tlready been in process for nearly a year. We consider the new tariffs consistent with the court's recent decision that the company was entitled to more revenue from its 1948*49 showing of facts. A total of 97 per cent of the company's telephones will not be affected by the new rates* Vet Quia The company will net about ffe,5rfb$06 after taxes and other* ex-' penses. This is a -compromise between the amount granted by the Commission in 1949 and the amount requested by the company *ears ago," Mcfcorkle stated. The iftcifease *ae filed to be effective on thirty days' uotice. ITnder Ikdt * WeeiTb filings, fivecent calls from all Bell public pay station telephones and semi-public pay phones in Illinois would be increased to ten oents "a call. There are * approximately 48,000 sfcch phones is Chicago and 17,000 in the rMt of; Illinois Jiell territory fn "thfe state, out of the company's 2,500,000 total. Here* in MCHenry there are fifty-five such ^phones out of a total of 2,590. Wllfle the tyi\k of the HlUfeasea revenue will come from the pnblic telephones, the tew tariffs also provide tar 4ncresMes 'ln Service connection, move and change charges. All of ttabe' are oae-tlmfe charges, applicable to those drderifcg telephones installed or moved. This charge will result, the company stated, in those persons bearing a' fairdt share of the. actual cost Incurred ! in ^installing 6r Ipoving a teler- fphone.
