A joint meeting of eleven business and civic groups in the Pink Rock Hotel approved that Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone must prove the fairness of its claim that current rates fail to cover operating costs and provide a fair dividend. A five member committee will advise the city commission, not bind it, and canvassing telephone users was deemphasized as unhelpful.
