Bell Telephone hike may strain welfare aid in Pittsburgh
An AP report from Pittsburgh says a proposed 56.6 million rate increase by Bell Telephone Co would hurt the poor. Eliot Maravich, Western Region welfare income maintenance director, testifies at a Public Utility Commission hearing that welfare allowances would not cover installation charges and monthly rates, forcing recipients to dip into food and clothing funds to pay 22 to 60 cents more per month. Some welfare clients call phones and extensions essential, especially in high crime areas. The article also digresses into a note about BC and AD dating introduced around 525 by Dionysius Exiguus.
