BELL TELEPHONE
PLANS REFUND OF
$1,500^000 TOLLS
Company Will Not Appeal
Reduced Rate Decision
by Court
The 'Michigan Bell Telephone company have underway preparations for
refunding approximately $1,500,000 in
intra-state long distance telephone
charges to 700,000 patrons.
The action was inaugurated after
George M. Welch, company president,
announced there would be no appeal
from the recent state supreme court
decision upholding a lower court's
order for reducing rates. This verdict
had climaxed three years of litigation.
The company plans to ask Circuit
Judge Leland W. Carr of Lansing)
whose original order was upheld by
the supreme court, for a supplement
tal ruling relating to refunding procedure. An estimated 65,000,000 separate toll tickets are involved, and
the company questions whether refunds should be made by check or
whether corresponding credits may be
applied to current bills. It may be 30
days before the refunding machinery
can begin to operate, company officials said.
Customers to whom refunds are
owing need not file company claims
except on calls made from public pay
telephones, the company said, pointing
out that in such instances a record
was given the patron. The company
asked to be notified of changes in
patrons' addresses. The new rates, it
was estimated, will save customers
$700,000 a year.
