UBCM re 72nd

June 2nd, 1975

Moved by Alderman Thompson:

Seconded by Alderman Laking:

That a letter be sent to the British Columbia Telephone Company
requesting that the City be advised of the costs involved in providing
equal telephone rates to subscribers throughout the Greater Vancouver
Regional District. Carried.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Keryiuk
stated he felt that while requesting costs involved in providing equal
telephone rates would serve as a first step, he would like to see a
rebuttal to the Telephone Company's letter and some arguments stating
the facts as seen by the City for equality of service; however, Alderman
Laking pointed out that at the time of the last increase, the Telephone
Company stated that the City would be receiving the same calling benefits
as Whalley, and that this should be taken into account when they are
Preparing their restructured rates. Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay
suggested that the Telephone Company officials be invited to meet zith
the Council and discuss the matter.
