With respect to special services such as private branch exchange, and private automatic branch exchange services, there will be a varying in- crease in rates, depending on the type and amount of equipment, with an approximate over-all average increase of 17 per cent. The present 5c rate for Winnipeg local pay station calls will be changed to a lOc rate. All discounts for prompt payment will be eliminated. All billing will be on a monthly basis. The System proposes to replace all old type wall and desk instruments with hand sets as quickly as possible, and proposes that as a hand set is in- stalled, the discount in connection with such old type wall and desk set be automatically cancelled. In view of the large number of old type wall and desk sets still in service, it is anticipated that the complete changeover will take a considerable period of time. Detailed information with respect to all proposed exchange, miscellaneous and toll rates referred to above has been filed with the Municipal and Public Utility Board. Detailed information with respect tQ these rates may also be obtained from the Manitoba Telephone System at its head office, 166 Portage Avenue East, Winnipeg, by communicating with the Rate Office, Telephone No. 92-4462, or by writing to the Rate Supervisor’s Office at the same address. Provincial subscribers may also obtain detailed information with respect to any of these rates from the Manitoba Telephone System office in the fol- lowing places: The Pas Morden Dauphin Souris Selkirk Carman Russell Morris Neepawa Melita Flin Flon Treherne Portage la Prairie Brandon Minnedosa Virden Boissevain Pilot Mound Ashem Beausejour Roblin Swan River AND TAKE NOTICE that any interested person who wishes to be heard on said application may appear and be heard either in person or by counsel.

DATED this 8th day of February A.D., 1955. MANITOBA TELEPHONE SYSTEM Ppr • J. F. MILLS Commissioner.
