WAGE COSTS have increased and are going up still fur- ther due to the general wage increase resulting from recent contract negotiations. FEDERAL corporate tax rates have risen sharply, too, adding greatly to our costs of rendering service. TELEPHONE facilities are way up in cost, including replacement equipment to keep the service. good as well.as equipment to expand it. EVEN BEFORE the most recent telephone cost inc:cases, * * * Adequate Rates Are Essential to Adequate Service Florida people need and want good, dependable and growing. telephone service.
