injunction on houston telephone rate case halted
Judge George W. Tara of the United States District Court in Shreveport issued an order delaying enforcement of Houston’s telephone rates as fixed by its ordinance. A hearing was set in Shreveport before Judge Jacke to determine why an injunction should not be granted to stop the city from applying higher rates than the current scale. The chaotic language in the source obscures specifics but centers on a temporary restraining order and review of rate enforcement by Houston.
