PSC Seeks to Block Phone Rate Increase
Indianapolis June 29 The Indiana Public Service Commission asked Attorney General J. Emmett McManamon to appeal to the State Supreme Court to block a $5,419,000 a year rate increase granted to Indiana Bell Telephone Company yesterday. Judge Lloyd D. Claycombe had granted the temporary increase, with the company arguing the PSC used illegal tactics in cutting the request from $8,200,000 to $730,000. The increase would raise about 75 percent of the original request, potentially $1 monthly on home phones and $1 to $1.75 on business lines, affecting Indiana Bell’s service in eighty three cities and towns.
