Carolina Telephone seeks study of North Carolina toll rates
Carolina Telephone Co asks the State Utilities Commission to conduct a close study of long distance rates in North Carolina. The petition argues current earnings on toll operations are below what the commission considers fair when combined with local revenue, risking earlier and larger local rate increases to cover shortfalls. Company president J C Cluen says the plan unfairly burdens local ratepayers and that toll funds flow into a statewide pool managed by Southern Bell before distribution under contracts.
