The City may have to wait six
months before a decision is hand-
ed down by the 11th Court of
Civil Appeals in Eastland after
hearing arguments in the tele-
phone rate controversy between
the city and Southwestern States
Telephone Co.
Louis Nichols, attorney repre-
senting the city, told the three-
man court last week that the
phone company had no authority
to raise rates from $6 to $10 for
home telephones and from $16 to
$20 for business phones.
The attorney said the company
increased the rates without per-
mission of the City Council. Nich-
ols argued that the city’s charter
gives the Council the right to
regulate utility rates.
J. Edward Johnson of Brown-
wood, attorney for the telephone
company, argued that Carrollton
has no jurisdiction to regulate the
increased rates because they ap-
ply only to those subscribers who
wished Carrollton-to-Dallas con-
nections.
Judge Herbert Line of Texar-
kana ruled last November that the
phone company could raise its
rates here by posting $125,000
bond. The bond would provide re-
funds for Carrollton customers if
the rate increase were later
proved illegal.
The city appealed Judge Line’s
decision.
