Dividends Slashed by Freeze Leaves Holdout Florida Firm
The Cost of Living Council says several firms cut dividend increases to align with the Nixon wage price freeze, but Florida Telephone Corp. in Ocala refused to reduce its announced dividend rise from 13 to 14 cents per share effective December 20. Officials noted two firms did not violate guidelines, while three agreed to offset raises by rolling back next quarters. The action occurred though dividends were not covered by the wage price freeze. A weather section follows with forecast for Arkansas and temperatures.
