DeKalb County Opposes Telephone Toll Hike
DeKalb County Board of Supervisors and DeKalb County Farm Bureau oppose a proposed Illinois Commerce Commission toll increase for rural and small exchanges. The article notes the plan would charge 1 cent per multi exchange call, reducing free service to dozens of towns and potentially driving many rural customers to discontinue phones. The groups argue the increase unfairly burdens rural residents and favors urban sections as hearings continued since 1916.
