Telephone Co Case In Adjournment
The Michigan Bell Telephone Company rate case is adjourned until late January as the company seeks recognition of the need to replace low-cost facilities with high-cost ones. If not acknowledged, the firm must keep seeking rate increases or risk unable to fund new construction to meet service demands. Goodman forecasts $42 million in facilities by 1951 end with no return under current rates and urges about $15 million yearly more revenue through 1951. Crews will focus only on essential projects. rate increases would average about 3.4 cents per day for all services.
