THE TELEPHONE CHARGES.
A NAPIER PROTEST. [Per Press Association.) NAPIER, January 25. The Napier Chamber of Commerce to-day discussed the proposed new telephone charges and carried the following resolution: "Assuming that the loss as stated by the Minister has been arrived at after all reasonable economics in the working of the Department, have been effected, this Chamber would approve an increase in the flat rate sufficient only to avoid any great loss. They felt that the non-subscribing portion of the community should bear some | of the cost of the service, seeing that they derive both direct and indirect benefits. Moreover, any increase should be as small as posible in view of the probable loss of business and the usefulness of the service. The chamber does not favour the toll system which, from information received, does not give satisfaction in other countries.
