The text details how toll calls are billed by rate type. It explains station to station charges based on air line distance with 5¢ per six miles up to twenty four miles and 5¢ per eight miles beyond. It defines person to person rates as about 25% higher, with a day rate between points and a 20¢ minimum, and notes no person to person call is accepted if station to station is under 15¢.

Report Charge Defines Fees for Unconnected Phone Calls
A report charge applies when a person is not reached or refuses to talk, or when an exact telephone address is not provided and no contact is made within one hour.

The appointment rate applies when a caller fixes a definite time for a person to person talk. It runs about 50 percent higher than station to station rates, is computed daily, and has a minimum charge of 25 cents. No appointment call is accepted if the station to station rate is under 15 cents. Report charges follow the same general rules as for person to person calls.
