Hawkeye Telephone Service Pushes for State Utilities Commission
City council actions urge Senator Proudfoot and Representative Spear to push a bill creating a state public utilities commission.

A 1909 contract with Mutual company favored immediate central energy upgrades, which Bell has ignored. Public support favors an utilities commission to secure redress and prompt results through law rather than court action.
