TELEPHONE CHARGES
10 TIE EDITOR. Sir, —The increase of some 250 pel cent, in the telephone charges (as compared with pre-war conditions) will be a great injustice to the small business m"an, .who uses the 'phone perhaps three or four times daily.'AThe ■ Chamber of Commerce, which approved the 'increase, is representative of large business firms, whose "calls" run into many hundreds per day. and it is manifestly unfair that the number of c^.lls should not betaken into account.' If the toll system is not practicable, why not adjust the charge according to the, staff or employees who use the 'phone? This could be on a, rough basis. The idea of charging a "one-man show" the same as is charged a firm with a staff of, say is absolutely absurd. In my own instance, and I know of numbers of others in the same box, we shall have to disconnect, and suffer great inconvenience whilst th« "big men", will" score.—l. am, etc., : DISCONTENTED. 27th January.
