NOTICE
Last year Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company
applied for a rate increase, which request included the Town of
Murphy. About the same time Western Carolina Telephone
Company applied for a rate increase on all its exchanges. At the
time of its application Western Carolina Telephone Company did
not own the Murphy Exchange aid therefore did not request a
rate increase for Murphy.
By the time the rate increase had been granted to Southern
Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company, it had sold its Murphy Ex
change to Western Carolina Telephone Company, and, therefore,
the rate increase .for Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph
Company did not affect the Murphy Exchange as it would have
had there been no sale to Western Carolina Telephone Company.
Your Telephone Company has, therefore, filed a petition with
the North Carolina Utilities Commission for a rate increase
sufficient to bring the Murphy rates up to the rates of Compar
able exchanges, such as Franklin and Sylva, North Carolina.
We wish for the general public to know that the expense of
construction and operation, and especially the expense of recent
improvements in your system, have continued to increase in Mur
phy as they have throughout the whole telephone industry, and
that it is only fair and reasonable that the Murphy Exchange pay
rates on a basis equal to those paid in cities of like size.
In the past five months we have spent the sum of $85,000.00,
exclusive of labor, for the improvement of your telephone system
and service, and we have very definite plans for a continued
program of expansion.
