United Telephone To Reclassify Exchange Rates Officials of United Telephone Company of Indiana. Inc., with headquarters in Warsaw, have announced their intention to file a petition with the Public Service Commission of Indiana requesting reclassification of the firm’s Laud, Leesburg, and Remington exchanges. The proposed reclassification is subject to the approval of the Public Service Commission and to the guidelines established by the Federal Price Commission. This action is being taken in order to maintain a nondiscriminatory rate structure between exchanges of equal size. A "rate group" for an exchange is determined by the number of main telephone stations that can be called on a local or other tollfree basis. When this number increases beyond the present rate group, that exchange must then be reclassified and placed in a higher group. Additional revenues provided by this reclassification will aid United in attracting additional investment funds and in meeting increased labor and material costs to continue its service improvement and expansion programs. An advertisement appearing elsewhere in this edition outlines the present and proposed rates for foe affected exchange in this area. The proposed increases amount to a maximum of 25 cents monthly for 1-party Residence service. The pending petition is part of United’s continuing program to maintain a uniform schedule of rates.
