A public inquiry from Mr. Fowler decries long distance service promises, asks for contract details and providers, contends about a local telephone group, demands disclosure of an approved bond amount and surety, and questions who will bear costs while urging independent business success over municipal action. He cites the motto City Hall not the Supreme Court.
A speaker accuses Mr. Langerak of using a $1000 catchword to lure voters and justify inflated rates. The letter argues the public fixes phone charges, tenants pay street-use rents, and four council members aid Langerak to benefit his company. It asserts voters control the telephone business and will seek remedies against unfair rates or service.
