Commission this week for increases

seven cents a day for most business \
main telephones. :
The company also requested -an
Increase of 1/4 cent for additional
local message unita. Certain toll.
rsites would go up 5 cents and there •
would be Increases In some mlscel- •
laneous services. Overall, the i n - ,
crease amounts to akjoiit 10 per |
cent ol revenues. ,
Keith S. McHugh, president pi
the company, gave. two prinolpil
reasons lor the application. Costs
are rising faster than revenues, he
said, and very l a x ^ capital addi­tions
for improvement and «xpaa>
slon at high .postw&.. prltses., Im
plant i nd equipmeat i r e a drain

^As a lesiUi, he added, the com-
^^'^ny*^ 'earsingB are 'too low and are
expected to drop still further. Ilie

"The plain fact is that lujEIation

costs have gone up UKe «U others,
liut the prices we chaxfe have not
kept tiace. New ^ork ^tate has had
the smallest Increase in telei^one
rates of any stats. It amounts to
