Announces Rate
Reduction Here
A reduction in rates on cer-
tain long distance telephone
calls within Texas, which will
save telephone users more than
$2.5 million a year, will be put
into effect May 20, Harold John-
son, manager of Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company, an-
nounced recently.
In general, the rate reduction
will apply to station-to-station
and person-to-person calls of
more than 198 miles, Johnson
said.
The reduced rates will apply
to nearly 17 million calls a year
within the state. The reductions
will range from five to 15 cents
for a three-minute call.
Johnson pointed out that the
reduction does not apply to calls
to other states, nor does it ap-
ply to calls of short distances
within the state.
The reduced rates result from
accounting changes recently ar-
rived at by agreement between
the Federal Communications
Commission, the National As-
sociation of Railroad & Utility
Commissioners, and the Bell
System.
