Mountain States seeks Idaho rate hike to fund expansion
The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company asked the Idaho Utilities Commission for authority to raise local rates to expand and improve service amid Idaho growth. Payroll costs surged in 1946. labor and tax costs rose sharply since 1941, with earnings in wartime and postwar periods declining. The company reports 70,186 telephones across 50 exchanges, a 45 percent rise since 1942, and about 4,000 pending orders amid material shortages.
