Mount Dora Eyes Challenge to New F T C Rate Hike
Mount Dora considers contesting a Florida Railroad and Public Utilities Commission rate increase granted last week affecting business and residence lines. The hike sets business phones at 5.50 and residential at 3.50 on one party lines, with other multi party rates listed. City Attorney Tom Cooley calls the move outrageous and notes the company paid a six percent dividend last year. Commissioner Mack dissented, arguing higher rates reward poor plant efficiency and do not justify customer service quality.
