So while Bell, in eloquent rhapsodies, painted word- pictures of a universal telephone service to applauding audiences, Sanders and Hubbard were leasing telephones two by two, to business men who previously had been using the private lines of the Western Union Telegraph Company.

His central idea, from the first, was not the mere leasing of telephones, but rather the creation of a Federal company that would be a permanent partner in the entire telephone business.

Understanding LEASES

In an August 20 letter from TEI President Charles Shewbridge, the Institute explained that subsection 136.1(1) was enacted to treat each leasing period as a separate supply to ensure that either GST or HST (harmonized sales tax) was imposed, based on the physical location of the leased good at the beginning of the "leasing interval." Proposed amendments to the subsection would deem the exercise of an option to purchase tangible personal property under a lease to occur at the time and place at which the person begins to have possession as a purchaser.
