North Carolina Telephone Co Wins 316000 Rate Hike Dispute
Utilities Commissioner Hugh A. Wells criticizes a three member majority for approving a 316000 rate increase for North Carolina Telephone Co. amid claims of mismanagement and insufficient service. The action, sided by Westcott McDevitt and Wooten, followed a request for 838638 in higher rates. Rhyne recused himself. Wells faulted poor planning and engineering as root causes of the firm’s financial trouble.
