Telephone Co Offers to Reduce Rates in New England Petition
The Post campaign for lower rates prompts New England Telephone to reform its tolls and service. The hearing set for February 21 followed a muted adjourned session as lawyers debate reductions from ten to five cents and partial fixes to party-line nuisance. The company proposes wider toll cuts between suburban exchanges and Boston and partial service improvements to curb unwanted ringing. Further hearings are scheduled for March 4 with broader rate equalization and improved service under consideration.
