e Telephone Situation in Pennsylvania
Ml
TIHIS Company is confronted by
a problem, which unaided it can
not solve.
Briefly, the situation is this.
Our operating costs have for several
years been steadily rising have now
practically doubled. In this respect we
lavevbeen experiencing only what you
lave, in your factories, your offices and
your homes. The income with which
we pay our bills is derived from the rates
charged for our service, and
These rates are now what they were
before the war!
. The problem, then, is one of making
ends meet; and this, despite every prac
tical economy, we have for some time
been unable to do.
The seriousness of the situation con
cerns every user. Wc are certain that
no one wants the quality of the service
to slump badly. It is a service that plays
too vital a part in die every-hour life of
the community.
We are asking the Public Service
Commission of this Commonwealth to
consider the inadequacy of our present
revenues and to approve schedules of
rates that will guarantee permanency,
extension and improvement to the busi
ness and the service.
It is our duty to present the situation
to the public in its essential details, and
this we shall endeavor to do by frequent
statements that, will set forth its many
aspects of immediate concern to tele
phone users,
