C. of C. Against
Increased Rates
for Dial Phones
Resolution Also Stales Pro
por Riie in P. B. X.
Katci Difproportioiiate
to Other Chargn
The Omaha ' Chamber of Coin
merce took ii stand rterday
against the charging ot hinder rales
(or the ue of the dial telephone
than fur the manual, and against
the "proposed increase in rates for
private branch exchange! to the ex
tent that they are disproportionate
to the increaea propoted for indi
viduals, hutitiri! and residential serv
ers in Omaha and other eommuni
tics !erved by the Northwestern Belt
Telephone company."
The executive committee pawed a
resolution which readi in part: "Re
solved that the Omaha Cahmher of
Commerce favor the establishment
of just and reasonable telephone ratei
in Nebraska which will afford eco
nomical and efficient tervice to the
public and yield adequate revenue
to the telephone company.
"We believe that the Nebraksa
Slate Railway commission is well
qualified to decide on the merits of
the application of the Northwestern
Hell company for increased icvcnue.
In the event, however, that an in-
'ease is justifiable, the Chamber of
I ommerce Questions the propriety ol
the proposed increases in rates for
private branch exchanges to the ex
tent that they are disproportionate to
the increases proposed for individ
uals, business and residential serv
ice in Omaha and other communi
ties." The manager of the chamber's
traffic bureau is instructed to lay
the resolution before the state rail
way commission on the resumption
of the rate hearing. May 22.
