Amendment of the Telephone Regulations.

(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 349, as amended to this date.)

Regulation 10 of the Telephone Regulations is amended by omitting paragraph (b) of sub‑regulation (3), and inserting in its stead the following paragraph:—

“(b) Where the telephone line connects a place with a Telephone Exchange, and extends more than 5 miles, but not more than 25 miles, beyond the limits of the network of which the exchange forms part, the charge for the service shall be as specified in the last preceding paragraph for the part of the line which does not extend more than 5 miles (measured radially) beyond the limits of the network, and shall be at the rate prescribed by regulation 7, plus 50 per centum for so much of the actual length of the line as extends more than 5 miles beyond the limits of the network:

Provided that the additional 50 per centum shall not be charged in cases where the subscriber is connecting to the exchange nearest to his premises, or to the nearest exchange at which continuous service is available.”
