POBUC METMG HEINE
Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company local manager, Gene
Smiley, and district manager,
O. J. (Jubilo) Clements met
with a group of interested
Timpson telephone subscribers
last Thursday, August 25, to
discuss the pending rate case
here. The meeting was held in
the American Legion hall.
The two Bell officials spoke
at length concerning the long
standing matter and for a two
hour period answered ques-
tions in connection with the
proposed rate raise from the
floor. Mayor J. E. Ramsey serv-
ed as general chairman for the
meeting.
Mr. Smiley pointed out the
case was filed with the Timp-
son city commission during
July of last year and to date,
the council had failed to grant
the request. He further stated
that oniy two items were un-
der consideration at this time.
Under the existing proposed
plan, business telephones
would increase from $8.00 to
$9.60 a month, and individual
line residence service would in-
crease from $4.75 to $5.50 a
month.
Mr. Clements stressed that
these were the only two items

ing,_However,xom.'ir.y offi-
cials made it clear that they
did not know what the future
held and that increases could
be brought about by inflation
in the months and years ahead.
“These factors cannot be pre-
dicted,” Mr. Clements stated,
“and as a result we would not
venture to hazard an opinion
one way or the other."
The company officials were
of the opinion that immediate
action from the city council fa-
voring an increase would pre-
vent the filing of a n»w peti-
tion that would include both
two-party customers and the
host of rural subscriber* work-
ing in the exchi age.

ish of cinnamon brick, maho-
gany paneling, and exposed
laminated beams; is contempo-
rary in design but maintains
all the traditional symbolism
for worship.
“Located in the Southwest
area of Houston, St. Philip’s is
surrounded by fast growing
housing additions. It is hoped
that the congregation may soon
begin plans for the construc-
tion of in additional educa-
tional nnit.
