�t A-F ryas 7r <br />op <br />mebane packaging corporation <br />MEBANE INDUSTRIAL PARK . PO. BOX 408 + MEBANE, N.G 27302 . 919 563 -3516 + TELEFAX 919 563 -9664 . TELEX 323073 <br />�n <br />November 22, 1991 <br />D 0 <br />As a business that operates on the western edge of Orange County in the <br />Mebane Telephone service area, and being one of the larger tax base <br />industries in Orange county, we ask the county commissioners to make <br />sure of the facts and the financial impact that the EAS will have on <br />industry. First year cost to Mebane Packaging approximately $50,000 for <br />business cards, stationery, forms of various nature. Plus the <br />notification of number changes to customers which is also very <br />expensive. With number of telephone lines that we use our static <br />charges will be somewhere between $12,000 and $15,000 annually. Is it <br />really fair that businesses should be picking up the tariff for those <br />who elected to move out of the city of Chapel hill because the living <br />expenses are greater than what they now are experiencing. <br />It appears to those of us in business in the western area of Orange <br />county that the program as approved recently by the utilities commission <br />for reduced toll rates is certainly worthy of trial. <br />It is certainly very possible that this proposal by such a small group <br />could be very far reaching, especially to the Alamance County customers, <br />since the utilities commission permits utility companies to make certain <br />profits. <br />I hope that the Orange County Commission will get all the facts of this <br />proposal rather than only the biased information that such a small group <br />is presenting to you. <br />A.
