Increase in Phone Rates Announced by Indiana Bell

Indiana Bell was authorized to raise rates in about 80 Indiana cities after a temporary injunction by Judge Lloyd D. Claycombe in Indianapolis. The order bars the Public Service Commission from blocking a rate rise that nets about 5.4 million dollars annually, though long distance and miscellaneous charges were not approved. The new temporary rates take effect July 1 with bonds guaranteeing refunds if permanent rates are lower. Judge Claycombe set September 17 for a hearing to make the injunction permanent and noted wage increases since June would be considered in setting permanent rates. Indiana Bell president Harry S. Hanna welcomed the ruling as helpful despite not meeting the full requested increase.
