sion according to letter received
last week by Mayor David Riser
from Frank Quatman, company dir
ector. 1t is not known when the rate
increase will be considered. Present
indications are that the commission
may not reach this case for four to
six months.
Quatman's letter to Mayor Riser
cited increased taxes and operating
expenses as the reasons for the re-
quested increase. The last increase in
telephone rates occurred four years
ago.
Riser expressed the opinion that
the rate increase, if approved, may
not be popular locally because many
local residents feel the installation of
dial phones for the Bluffton exchange
has fallen behind other smaller
exchanges in the area operated by
the company.
Rate money cannot be used for ex-
pansion of company facilities the
letter said. This money can only be
used for operating expenses and in
terest payments.
Nearly 81, 200, 900 has been spent in
expansion throughout the North
western system in the past four
years. This investment was made in
poles, wire, cable, telephones and
new central office equipment. Money
for these Improvements was obtained
by raising new capital.
The general operating expenses of
the company increased 81 percent
since 1852 Quatman's letter noted.
Included in the operating expense in
crease was a 30 percent in wages.
Taxes increased SO percent, the
letter noted, as payments rose to
more than S251 900 last year. The
1852 figure paid by the company
was SIPS, ,822.
After paying the additional taxes
on the projected 70 cent Increase the
company will actually have a little
less than 40 cents per phone each
month increase to meet their operat-
ing expenses.

British Prime Minister Tells BuIgganin Some Agreement on Disarmament Is
 Urgently Needed to Dispel War Threat

LONDON, R-Prime Minister MacMillan told Soviet Premier Bulganin in a letter released Sat urday "some measure of agree ment" on disarmament would open the way for a general East West settlement.
 The British leader said the worlds most urgent need is for conventional and nuclear disarm- ament ito dispel the threat of war" He added:
 "You and I have lived through two world wars. We have seen their terrors. We must wish to preserve our children and grand children from third and perhaps final tragedy"
 The West, meanwhile, was viewing as a major forward step the Soviet offer to admit Western inspectors if agreement is reached on a nuclear test ban. But the West felt many details must be clarified.
 The proposal was put to the JUN. disarmament subcommittee Friday by Soviet Delegate Valer- ian Zorin. He suggested two- or three-year halt to nuclear tests with an international committee under the United Nations to en- force it.
 Zorin said the Soviet Union would agree to admit Western in Spectors if there was agreement to the moratorium on nuclear tests.
 X Until now, the Soviet Union has rejected Western demands that any halt to nuclear tests be backed up by inspection. The So- viets held that the tests could be ended by simple agreement among the H-bomb nations, Brit tain, Russia and the United States.
 The immediate reaction from Western sources was that the So-
