RURAL TELEPHONE MEETING

A rural telephone committee meet
ing was held at 2:3o o'clock Thursday
afternoon, October 10, in the assembly
rooms of the First National bank to
hear an answer to the request for a
reduction in rural phone service. The
meeting was called to order by Chair
man Elwell.
The Southwestern Bell Telephone
company was represented by the fol-
lowing: d. G. Porter, district mana
ger; w. t., Sherman district plant
chief, all of Springfield; v. C. White
local manager; j. w. Solomon wire
chief, and Miss Gladys Mills chief
operator of Monet.
Mr.. Porter acting as spokesman,
called attention to the fact that the
rates were made by the State Utility
Commission on basis of cost and in
come and would remain the same un-
til they changed them. Experts ex-
anime all financial reports and the
commission approves and governs the
rates. He said the company could
show the present rates were reason
able and no more than the law and
commission allowed, and, 1--WE do not
expect to lower them," he added. Ser
vice and line connections were then
discussd at length and illustrations of
poor and good connections were made
and demonstrated. The committee
notified the Telephone company they
considered the price of rural tele-
phones out of line with the farmers
greatly reduced income, and that the
farmers, through their 10000 phone
owners, would appeal to the State
Utility commission for reduction in
rural rates.
The Telephone Company read
several reports from their investi-
cations of rural lines, which pointed
out the reason for poor service and
agreed to send copy of said reports
to the president of these lines re-
spectively.
The company claimed the poor SER
vice was due largely to poor lines and
rural connections for which the com
mittee was not willing to accept all
the blame. The committee promised
to try and influence the rural line
owners to put their Lines in good
working order and the Telephone conn
pany pledged themselves to render
mem good service.
The Telephone company invited the.
committee to ask two representatives
from each line to dine with them at a
place to be selected on November 8.
at 7:30 o'clock p. m, at which time
they would talk over and plan needed
repairs necessary for good phone
service.
