A move to push for telephone service for Davis County has been supported by the Davis County Council of Governments (COG) State Representative James Hansen, Farmington, asked the 16 mayors, who make up the COG, for an ene dorsement of the concept and their support for a public hearing on the matter to be set by the Public Service FARMINGTON e toll-fre- e REPRESENTATIVE Hansen said Davis County legislators have been concerned for some time over inadequate telephone service in the county.

Representative Hansen which asked for the toll free 25 mile limit. That bill was never passed, but all Davis County e legislatures support the service, he said By adding the additional clout of the endorsement of the county COG, Representative Hansen said he believes the group will have the support we need The support from to see things fly elected officials and business leaders is especially needed at the public hearing, he said. REPRESENTATIVE Hansen said that Mountain Bell is in violation of the statue since Davis County has not received equal service to that provided in other counties He said that Davis County which is similar to Weber County m size but has not been provided comparable service.

He said m the past there has been a discrimination m telephone rates.

Representative Hansen said that countywide calling system is available to Weber County and Cache County residents ACCORDING TO Representative Hansen, all the state legislators are behind the proposal which would allow Davis County residents to call anywhere within the county without paying a toll. The proposal asks that, in addition, residents in the south be able to call into Salt Lake County without paying a toll charge and those in the north end of the county have e privileges into Weber County. toll-fre- Representative Hansen said the halfway point tn the county would have to be set by county residents, based on their needs for calling other counties. The Consumer Concern Committee, has asked the PSC to schedule the June 5 hearing, which was supported by the COG. THAT COMMITTEE proposes that the PSC investigate the quality of telephone service to the Davis County area and determine if it is comparable to that provided by Mountain Bell to other similar areas. The commission also proposes that the PSC investigate the feasibility of extended service in counties and adjacent to Davis County.
