Telephone Users of This Community Demand Rate Reforms
A damaged transit of a 1919 rate application reveals the Telephone Company’s claim that Nebraska rates have been inadequate for years. The company argues profits and fair value were suppressed by injunctions and exchange-rate effects, noting earnings varied from 4.62 to 3.0 percent across years, while stressing service quality remained high at lower rates. It cites cross-state operations and a split Nebraska record since 1921 to justify requested adjustments.
