Petition to Prevent Rate Increases by Indianapolis Telephone Co
Patrons of the Indianapolis Telephone Company circulate a petition in Indianapolis urging the Public Works Board to reject proposed rate hikes from 4 to 2 dollars per year for residences and from 0 to 4 dollars for telephones. They argue two telephone systems exist, burdens on business patrons, unfairness to customers, and that improvements should precede any price rise. They warn Central Union and new independent lines would trigger further citywide rate increases.
