United Telephone Co. of Indiana, Inc. plans to reclassify local exchange rates in its Argos, Ashley, Bargersville, Bremen, East Enterprise, Fortville, Franklin, Guilford, Jamestown, Milford, New Carlisle, Pierceton, Rossville, Syracuse, Topeka, Trafalgar, Warsaw and Whiteland exchanges Basic local service rates for United Telephone exchanges are determined according to the number of access lines that can be called without a long-distance charge. The exchanges listed below have outgrown their present rate groups and.have maintained that growth for at least six consecutive months. United proposes to place Argos, Ashley, Bargersville, Bremen, East Enterprise, Fortville, Franklin, Guilford, Jamestown, Milford, New Carlisle, Pierceton, Rossville, Syracuse, Topeka, Trafalgar, Warsaw and Whiteland in rate groups so their rates will be the same as other exchanges of comparable sizes and calling areas A petition has been filed with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission outlining our proposal. Increases to each exchange's base rates are shown below and will become effective when and if approved by the Commission.

Park Board President Howard Ziegler reported that a building permit has been applied for for the purpose of constructing a shelter at the city park He said construction may begin soon and that the building could be used for musical programs and winter storage of picnic tables Ziegler also said that ducks and geese have been hurting the park's appearance. “They are pretty (and) I like the suckers but boy are they messy," he said. Town Marshal Jerry Craig said that harming the animals was out of the question but one solution might be to scare them away from the area by firing blanks toward them. Street Department Commissioner Harry Minnick reported that the North Webster Church of God wanted permission to use an unimproved street in back of the church as a summer parking lot Minnick supported the suggestion and council members said they saw no reason to refuse the request.
