Southwestern Bell Telephone CO.
Newport, Ark, August 20, 1918
TO THE PUBLIC:
Conditions confronting us in the operation of our exchange at
Newport make imperative an increase in rates. The Newport ex
charge has not earned a reasonable return upon the investment for
the past few years, and this unsatisfactory condition is due to
the inadequacy of the rates. The present rates were established
under conditions vastly different from those of the present time.
It is well known that the increase in the cost of materials
in the past three years has been enormous. The prices of a few
specific items constituting about 75 per cent of the telephone
plant increased in the fall of 1917 over 1915 as follows: Cross
arms, 43 per cent; locust pins, 107 per cent; poles, 24 per cent,
cross arm braces, 220 per cent; lead covered cable, 80 per cent;
steel strand, 104 per cent; iron wire, 103 per cent; copper wire,
145 per cent; switchboard cable, 88 per cent"; switchboards, 50
per cent. The cost of maintenance and operation has also increas
ed beyond all expectations,
f
The telephone company has endeavored to keep pace with the
progress and growth of the city, and, while our investment and
operating expenses have been rapidly increasing, cur revenue has
been and is inadequate to meet these conditions. It is necessary
that the Company should be able to earn a reasonable return upon
its investment and only by that means can it survive and meet its
obligations to the public.
Effective September 1, 1918, the following rates will be
charged for telephone service in Newport:
BUSINESS:
Direct line . . $3.25 per month
Extensions . . . 1.00 per month
RESIDENCE:
Direct Line . . $2.25 per month
| ^ Extensions . . . .50 per month
I We believe cur subscribers will appreciate the conditions
enumeratad above end that they will agree that our action at this
time is reasonable, fair and just.

“I just had to force myself to eat

little I did eat made me suffer hours
of agony, from gas that would rise
on my stomach. I had awful head
aches and dizzy spells constantly and
was so nervous I could hardly sleep.
I fell off in weight and got so weak
and so no-account that I felt I could
never be well again.
