A fragment discusses monthly charges for long distance and private telephone service, asking if Birmingham and Atlanta share the same $90, 008 figure. The note attributes the query to J. D. Gat? Ghdrill and cites 109 West 17th Street.
Dr Hughes argues the rate hike harms residents and business, notes Anniston's smaller population yet equal charges, and calls for underground wires or pole licensing. He urges a municipal ticket pledging to curb public service greed and to elect councilmen defending citizens against rate increases.
Mrs. Sarah J. Brackett of Terre Haute Indiana has died at age 56. The obituary notes her life in the city and mentions a curious anecdote about a linen scarf given to Queen Victoria, along with a ring she received as a gift.
With Rev. C. K. Weller away Rev John D Wing will lead the 1 o clock service at St Michael's Church. The service will include Holy Communion and a sermon at 6 p.m.
The company explains why a rate increase is needed and corrects a belief it has a $71 000 franchise valuation. It notes taxes based on overall earning power, not franchise value, and outlines that Anniston holds 82 percent of local telephones. The firm says it has consulted officials, offered audits, and argues higher rates are necessary to maintain adequate service for subscribers.
