House approves substitute bill on telephone rate limits
The Boston Post reports a Wednesday vote to allow a substitute bill by Mr. Oxley, replacing the committee report and permitting petitioners seeking state rate regulation to withdraw. The measure caps exclusive-use rates at $4 monthly and $3 for multi-use, but the chances of passage are doubtful due to patent and charter rights arguments. Analysts note possible state regulation within reason, yet the court-like scrutiny deems the bill unconstitutional toward private charters. The piece urges voluntary concessions from the telephone company to ease public concern while maintaining profits.
