B. C. TEL APPLICATION _

B.C. Tel has ‘asked the +

Canadian . Radio-television:
and Telecommunications
Commission to - approve :a
tariff which will enable the

Company to charge $6 for |

each NSF cheque it receives

in payment of’ telephone
bills.

The company’s submission

‘to the regulatory agency said

more than 13,000 such

cheques were handled by
B.C. Tel fast year.

The proposed charge is
designed to help recover the
cost of processing cheques
returned to B.C. Tel for not-
sufficient funds and is ex-
pected. to help discourage
customers - from paying
phone bills with bad
cheques. The estimated
handling cost of each NSF
cheque is $6.05.

-and demanding ‘their names ~
and addresses.

of the’

The company previously

had advised the CRTC of its

‘intention to assess a charge
to customers for NSF
cheques: The CRTC ruled
that such a charge could
only be applied by B.C. Tel
under an approved tariff and
the federal court recently
upbeld that ruling.

In filing for approval of
the tariff, B.C. Tel said that
between 1970 and 1978 the
writing of bad cheques in
payment of phone bills had
increased by nearly 38 per
cent. The dollar amounts
involved last year reached
more than $1.3 million.

If the tariff is approved,
the company will issue
public notices of the ef-
fective date for application
of the charge.

mystery solved

VENTURA, Calif. (UPI) -
A suburban couple found
dead in their hot tub did not
just simmer. to death,
Medical examiners now say
heavy drinking also played a
role.

é

When the bodies of
Wesley La Roza, 58, and his
wife, Helen, 53, were found
side-by-side in their
backyard spa May 15, the
coroner attributed = the
deaths to heat stroke
brought on by the = 130-
degree water in the spa.

Their deaths were widely
reported as the first fatalities
attributable to the
California-born hot tub fad.

But ai ‘Summary,
Statement and Recom-
mendations” report by the

county coroner revealed the
couple had been! drinking
heavily just before they died.

The report said La Roza's
blood alcohol count was 9.41
and his wife's 0.32 and they
died of a combination of
heat stroke, alcohol
poisoning and heart disease.

Medical authorities
generally agree that a blood
alcohol count of 0.40 will
cause unconsciousness, and
a count of 0.50 or more will
kill.
