pllCdtlOll VI L1e OIllO ASSOC-
lated Telephone company
would be held in Columbus,
Wednesday and Thursday, Dec.
= and 8.
The telephone company which
serves this area has asked auth
ority TO increase rates and
charges and to revise its general
exchange tariff P. U. c. o. No. l
and its local exchange tariff P.
U. c. o. No. q
Hearing before the commits
sion will be held Wednesday
and Thursday morning at 10
o'clock in the departments
building, 65 South Front street,
Columbus.
Mayor Potts said today that
this community would aid the
other communities in fighting
the proposed increase, although
he was of the opinion that the
increase in rates would be
granted.
1t will be remembered that
Cambridge and Guernsey county
are making a stiff fight against
the increase and have joined
forces with many other counties
throughout the state.
Officials representing several
civic organizations here said in
their opinion, the best way to
fight the increase would be to
cut down on the revenue receiv-
ed by the company.
He said it would work in this
way: At the present time, there
are four telephones in the City
Hall. The present plan calls for
at least two or three of these
phones to be taken out and let
one or two do the work of four.
This is true in many business
places and concerns, where one
telephone could dc the work of
many now installed. -
Business men are also being
solicited to turn down all adver-
tising in the telephone direct
ory, which will shortly go to
print. 1t is not thought this will
be too effective for most of the
soliciting has already been done.
1t has not yet been learned
just how much of the increase
will affect this community.
