Increase of Phone Rates Makes Deficit Certain
Kansas Telephone Co. Would Have K.U. Pay Rent on Its Private Exchange
The intended increase in price by the Kansas telephone Co. for the service given over the University lines has necessitated Chancellor Strong's putting a $2,734 deficit item in his budget for the coming year. At present the University has six trunk lines running to the city of Lawrence and 145 branch lines in different buildings of the University.
The University pays $360.00 a year rent for the six trunk lines and besides own her own switch board pays $363.00 a year for operators' salaries. The Kansas Telephone Company, however, is not astute enough want them to pay rent for all telephones on the private branch archives.
This matter was brought before the Public Utilities Commission in Topeka January 10. Chancellor Frank Strong and John Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, were in Toneka to attend the hearing.
To date nothing has been given out by the commission as to the result of the hearing but the telephone company has been asked by the Utilities Commission to measure and locate all cable and wiring in the buildings and report the findings to them.
