the Brirish CoLumbia Telephone Company were present to make a presentation

to Council on the rate regrouping system and advised that Port Coquitlam

now falls into a larger useage rate group which results in an increase

in the cost to each trunk line. The increase to one-party lines would

be 85¢, two-party lines 80¢ and individual business lines $2.10.

Alderman Traboulay advised in his opinion the service is poor, Port
Coquitlam cannot telephone to North Vancouver or several other other
locations without paying toll and the residents in Port Coquitlam cannot
pay their telephone bills without paying an additional charge. Mr.

Coath replied there wil] be a telephone mart. in the new Coquitlam Shopping
Centre where residents of Port Coquitlam will be able to pay their
telephone bills without an additional charge. Mr. Coath also mentioned
that B.C. Telephone Company does a monthly survey on the number of calls

to the North Shore and when the demand gets to a certain scale the

service will be extended for toll free calls.
