Telephone costs and policy questioned by ratepayers
The Echo receives letters on rural nomination day arguing over telephone pricing for the year and future provisions. Subscribers from two years ago expected the phone for 15 dollars, new subscribers were told it would be 11s, sparking questions about price consistency, payment guarantees, and lawful authority. The debate centers on whether the council can or should levy taxes or rely on a debenture funded system to cover deficits, with calls for the price to cover all costs from the first year.
