has offered its employees "third-:
round" wage boosts of $7,000,000 an-;
nually. In addition; the cost of ma-|
terials and equipment, said Maher,
"have increased for the telephone
company just as rapidly as for all
other   companies."
Michigan Bell will propose immediate raises of 25 cents per/month for
all residence lines, 75 cents for private branch exchange trunks, GO cents
for Semi-public lines, 50 cents for all
other business lines, aiid §1.50 for
service connection charges.
Rates for long-distance calls within the state would be raised immediately. Station-to-station messages
would be increased 5 to 15 cents, depending upon dfstancV Pe.son.-t_-
person rates would be upped from 35
to 40 per cent above* station rates.
Sunday and night discounts on all
calls would be reduced from 35 to 20
per centless than day rates.
Maher* said further increases in
long-distance rates and service connection charges were not- contemplated at lliis time.
Sxclianns rates, however, would be
further boosted when and if the ad-
ditisiial rates are approved by the
Commission.    '
• The services to be affected by the
additional boost, and the amount of
both increases, follow:      *
Residence lines fincluding both immediate and additional increases)—
individual, 75c; two-party, 75c (temporary -rate - ultimaetly to be discontinued'; four-party, 75c; rural, 75c.
Business lines (including both immediate and additional increases!—
individual, $1.00 ^ two-party, $1,00;
rural $1.00;  semi-public 90c,
These' rates are based on schedules, currently in effect and do not
include any increase which may result when extended area service is
introduced.
All  residence  and  business  extents sions woiuld be raised 25 cents.'
In a statement released at Detroit,
Thomas N. Lacy, president of Michigan Bell said, "Most businesses have
had to raise prices not once nor
twice but many times in the last few
years. For almost a quarter of a
century—from 192G to 1948—there
was no increase in telephone rates
in Michigan. In fact during that per-
' iod there' were substantial reductions in the charge for service.
"The eight per cent increase granted us this year helped but was little
more than the amount of the 'second-
round' wage boost given to our employees in May, 1947, a few months
before we made application for our
first rate increase in, 21 years
"The first increase plus the one we
now are asking totals only 25 per
cent,"  said  Lacy. •
Compared to other price increases,
telephone rates still would be low,
the telephone company president
pointed;out. "Since 1939, for example., building construction has gotfe
