Michigan Bell Contesting Refund Order in Court
Michigan Bell Telephone Company has filed in Ingham Circuit Court to overturn a Public Service Commission order demanding a 7 million dollar refund to customers for 1944 45 revenues and a 8.5 million dollar 1946 rate reduction. Thomas N Lacy says the action could jeopardize service quality and cites potential insolvency if earnings fall below industry standards. The company argues the retroactive rate cut lacks authority and notes its postwar 120 million construction program and wartime customer growth require funds.
