Show THE TELEPHONE SERVICE. fhe General Mm linger In Bait Lake Says There Will be Mo Increase of Tariff A sensational article in a morning paper about the probable increase of tariff for telephone service in Salt Lake causod a reporter to call on the general manager of the Rocky Mountain Bell telephone company. In reply to a question he said: "There will not be any increase in price for the use of phones la this city to the best of , my knowledge. The rate of raising the cost from $00 to $120 per phone in Denver Den-ver does not effect us in any way. The increase there is probably due to the taking care of of the property and improvements im-provements the company has made in the city. We have about 550 phones in Salt Lake and the prices, $80 for business busi-ness and $00 for residence, are the lowest low-est rates that any cities of 60,000 inhabitants in-habitants have." |
