The people of Montana will substan tially profit by these reductions which affect day calls between points from 130 to approximately 1500 miles apart. This is the third general reduction in Long Distance rates in a period of less than two years and a Tialf. During 1928 there was a continuous im provement in the speed •tflth which long distance calls were handled, a large percentage of them be ing handled while the subscriber remained at the telephone. While the service has been speeded up, the quality of the service has been continuously improved. Thus in long distance service it has been possible both to Improve the service and reduce the rates. t T I LJt III » * ♦ ♦ A STATEMENT OF POLICY I "With your sympathetic understanding we shall continue to go forward, providing a telephone service for the nation more and more free from imperfections, errors or delays, and always at a cost as low as is consistent with financial safety."
