METER SERVICE FOR TELEPHONES IS NEXT MOVE Metered service for telephones was predicted today by William M. Bailey, manager of the Richmond Home Telephone company. At a telephone convention in Chicago last week he saw demonstrations of a meter for measuring the amount of current used for each telephone. ? - "This is coming, first in the larger cities, and in a few years, to smaller systems," said Mr. Bailey. "A meter is attached to each telephone and the subscriber pays on a basis of the electricity he uses. It is the most equitable system of charging." Costs Not Figured In Each telephone in service in Richmond represents an investment of $149. Charges are made by simple classifications, which do not take into regard distance or the frequency of the calls. Both figure in the cost of operation of the telephone. "Cities are already coming to a form of metered service, although the meter has not been perfected," said Mr. Bailey. "It is called limited service. Regular service may cost $3 a month and the limited service only $2, the subscriber being limited to perhaps 40 calls a month and agreeing to pay five cents for additional calls." Automatic systems for country lines will be adopted here probably when the system now being perfected is complete in detail. This also holds true of automatic long distance telephones by which calls will be made with the switchboards of other cities in two seconds for each statiou passed through. How Line Would Work "The first number would get, say Dayton, the second, Columbus, and the third Cleveland, for example," Mr. Bailey said. "There would be no manual operations and consequently no loss of time. I am now trying to establish a 10-minute long distance standard here under present conditions, by which no one will be required to wait more than 10 minutes for a long distance connection." , In the year just completed the tele-
