TELEPHONE CHARGES
REVISION IN PROSPECT. FEES, ACCORDING TO SERVICE. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Jan. 9. For several months drastic revision, of the. telephone charges has been under discussion in official circles, and a good deal of criticism has been heard and duly considered.. The matter has now reached a more definite stage, Cabinet have tentatively approved proposals for the new scale, which, it is understood, will mean in the aggregate no increase in revenue, but may concern users of busy telephones, because the outstanding principle of the new scheme is charge m accordance with the service. It may he posible, as a- result of revisions, to make some concessions" to private users, especially in the backblocks.
The new scale is not to be arbitrarily imposed without notice, as it is the intention of the Postmaster-General to circularise Chambers of Commerce and other organisations, fully explaining ihe proposals and requesting comment Prom telephone users.
