General Tel Suspends Projects Amid PUCO Dispute
General Telephone Co of Ohio halts most of its 1974 construction program to cut borrowing as interest rates reach 12 to 13 percent. President Robert M. Wopat says PUCO delayed a $9.2 million rate increase, plans to complete only critical or in progress projects, and will lay off contract workers and some staff. The curtailment may worsen service and reduce private line upgrades until finances improve.
