wish to accept billing for any Third number to collect calls, the database will not validate charging for
such a call. The operator service provider can then decide whether to complete the call based on this
information provided by the database. Billed Number Screening can be ordered to screen third number
billed calls, collect calls, or both.

CONSTRUCTION CHARGES
GENERAL
Line extensions consist of additions to plant beyond existing leads, and do not include additions
to plant along existing telephone utility leads. Line extension charges are applied to subscriber
applicants with abnormally long extension requirements to prevent unreasonably burdening the
general body of existing subscribers. All line extensions will be owned and maintained by the
Company.
Line extension charges set forth in this schedule apply in connection with all types of service
when established by means of an extension to the Company s plan consisting of "buried wire" or
pole construction, including extensions by means of poles to be owned solely by the Company or
jointly with others and by means of contacts or contact space on poles of others. The Company
shall determine the type of construction to be used.
In lieu of the charges othelWise applicable, the applicant, if he so elects, may initially clear the
right of way, furnish and set the required poles in accordance with the normal construction
standards of the Company. In all instances the ownership of facilities shall be entirely vested in
the Company.
The location of line extensions are determined by the telephone company and the distances
(including drop wire) are measured along the route so selected.
Construction to serve two or more customers, whether on public right-of-way or private
easements, may be used for serving subscribers in general.
The total extension to plan (along public roads or on private property) to be furnished without
charge shall not exceed 300 feet per application. Where the total extension exceeds 300 feet, the
free footage allowance is first computed for the private property portion of the extension prior to
computing any allowance for the construction along public roads. In addition to the Line
Extension Allowance, customers shall receive up to 300 feet of drop wire construction without
charge. However, ownership of facility will be retained by the Company.
Contracts, covering periods not more than three years of telephone service, may be required by
the Company as a condition precedent to establishment of the service when line extensions are
necessary. Such contracts will not require advance or unusual payments in excess of those

otherwise required by this schedule, and shall not interfere with the Company s right to collect
amounts as provided elsewhere in its Price List schedule.
When an applicant is so located that it is necessary to use private an/or public right-of-way to
furnish service, and the Company is unable to obtain the required right-of-way without cost, theapplicant may be required to pay the costs incurred in securing the right-of-way in addition to
other charges.
The estimate cost of the line extensions are payable in advance. In the event of overcharge
refunds to applicants will reflect the difference between the estimated cost and the actual cost
the line extension. In the event of undercharge, the Company shall bill the applicant for anamount not to exceed ten (10%) percent of the estimated extension costs. Any adjustments
between the estimated costs advanced by the applicant and the reasonable actual cost shall be
made within sixty (60) days after completion of the extension.

c. For line extensions of unusually long length or high cost, the Company may also
estimate the cost of providing radio telephone service. The Company or applicant
may request either lien extensions or radio telephone service and the applicant will
pay the actual cost for the chosen option in excess of the free allowance which would
be provided under the line extension option.
Rights-of-Way or Easements
Rights-of-way and easements to the premises, satisfactory to the company, must be
furnished without costs by the applicant on public lands and private property.
GROUP OF APPLICANTS
When construction is required to serve a new ' applicant, a survey is made of all prospective
subscribers who might be served from the new construction or an extension thereof and who
might benefit by being included in the project. Free footage allowances are made only for those
prospective subscribers making a written application for service.
All applicants are grouped in a single project when there is no more than one-half mile of
construction between successive applicants. Separate projects are established whenever the
construction between any two successive applicants exceeds one-half mile. Two ore more
projects are combined, however whenever this results in lower charges (or no increase in
charges) for all of the applicants involved.
An applicant at any premises receives only a single line extension and drop wire allowance
regardless of the number of services ordered at that premises.

GROUP OF APPLICANTS (Continued)
Applicants ordering service at more than one premises are treated as separate applicants at each
premises for purposes of this schedule.
For the purpose of detennining project charges, the collective free footage allowance for the
group is subtracted from the overall Line Extension footage required for service. The total
project cost is then divided equally among all applicants.
Exceptions:1) No applicant is required to pay a higher charge than he would if the project were
established for him alone. Any difference between this charge and the average charge for the
group is absorbed by the Company.2) Charges for extensions to plant on private property (including drop wire) are assumed by
applicants on whose property such extensions are made and these charges are not included in the
overall charges for the project. Likewise, the free footage allowance on private property is not
included in the collective allowance for the project.
CHARGES TO SUBSEQUENT APPLICANTS
When a new applicant can be served from a completed project, within three years from the date
service was initially established for such project, the charges for the entire project are recomputed
to include the new applicant. the new applicant pays a prorated amount of the line extension
charge based on the number of months (a fraction of a month is counted as a full month)
remaining in the original three-year term. The time is computed from the date service is
established for the new applicant.
Where additional construction is required for an applicant to be served from a project less than
three years old, the cost of the project is computed as above if such recomputation does not
increase the charges to those customers served from the existing proj ect. Otherwise, a new
project will be established.
When a project is recomputed as described above, existing subscribers will be refunded a
prorated amount of the difference between the original charges and the recomputed chares, based

on the remainder of the three-year term. Recomputation of the charges due to the addition of new
applicants is made on the assumption that there have been no disconnects.
Where construction on private property is subsequently treated as being on public roads, or where
a private road is dedicated to the public use, within three years of completion or the original
project, the time extension charges shall be recomputed and refunds made to the initial applicants
where applicable.
DISCONNECTS AND REUSE OF FACILITIES
When one or more subscribers on a project disconnect within the three year term, no ,refund is
made of the line extension charge to the disconnected subscribers. Charges to remaining
subscribers are not affected by disconnects.
When a subscriber disconnects service or moves off the project and service is established for a
new applicant at the same location, any adjustment in charges is a matter for negotiation between
the original subscriber and the new applicant.
Where a subscriber is disconnected for any reason and subsequently re applies for service from
the same premises or another premises on the same project, the subscriber will not be required to
pay any additional line extension charges in addition to his total original obligation.
