Clifff Donaldson, Rick Ellis and Senior Citizens from all areas were present to testify. Many feel that they will just have t$ have their phones removed if this increase is allowed. The phone is no longer a luxury - it is a necessity! Can you imagine an emergency need, you're alone, disabled as many senior citizens are, and there is no phone because you couldn't afford it? And what about those who have, \Life-line\ the new support system, to help people remain in their homes. What will happen to them? The telephone is needed for Life-line to operate. Many felt th6 basic service user should not have to bear the cost for equipment they do not use in our area. No one wants to see N.Y.T. Company go out of business They have provided us with good service, and telephone communications are needed. On the other hand, the people who need this service the most are the elderly, the grand- children, young families with small children and farmers. Telephone service cannot be a luxury item. A solution must be found which is fair to both sides. Let your government offi- cials know how you feel about this issue/Write or call them. Do you feel the Public \Service Commission should grant permission for this increase?? Bills will be increased by as much as 45 percent.
