Rural telephone charges urged for reduction hope from Shires head
The President of the Shires Association Dr. T. G. Carter urged a cut in rural telephone charges after the Postmaster General flagged a substantial surplus. He noted rural residents need telephones more as distance from towns grows and called for priority in service over revenue. He cited revised public telephone installation criteria favoring need over profit.
