The mayor called the meeting to order. He informed the council that the
telephone company was anxious for action on the agreed rate increase request which
had been approved at the last regular menhoil meeting on March 17, 1949. council-
man Strickland asked if Wooster was included in the base rate area now that a 50�6
rate increase had been granted. Mr. Hunt informed him that Wooster would hot be
included on the base rate schedule until the full rate increase was'granted, however,
their mileage rate would not be increased. He stated that the base rate had been
orally promised to Wooster but only when the full rate increase was granted. The
council informed Mr. Hunt that this was not its understanding at the time of grant-
ing the rate increase request and no action would be taken on the ordinance until
this question was settled. Mr. Hunt told the council that he could not make a
definite statement on the action of the telephone company, however, he felt that
the company would be favorable toward including Wooster in the base rate area.

until a reply was received from the telephone company headquarters. It was agreed
to meet at 6 o'clock p.m. the following day.
Councilman Strickland moved that the meeting adjourn. Councilman Davis
seconded the motion. The ayes were unanimous and the mayor declared the meeting
