Public Utilities Commission ordered suspension to await the July hearing. Local committees in Culooka and Mt. Pleasant are urged to report pledges and funds, as the proposed tolls would make a message from Columbia to Spring Hill or Mt. Pleasant cost a dime, and Mt. Pleasant to Spring Hill or Culleoka twenty cents.
