Telecommunication Firms Seek Public Message Rate Hikes
Canadian Pacific Telecommunications requests rate increases to offset an ongoing operating deficit in the public message service. If approved, revenue could rise by 1.97 million dollars for 1973, with effect sought from January 15, 1974. Increases include an 11 percent rise for ordinary telegrams and night letters, Teltex pricing up to 1.50, and added charges for messenger and ancillary services. Press rates for news organizations would shrink discounts to two thirds. The overall cost pressures cited stem largely from wage settlements.

About 2 500 registered trappers plus 5 000 residents operate across crown lands and settled areas.
