Susquehanna - Much unfavorable comment has been heard regarding the increase of rates made by the physicians of Susquehanna. Formerly the price charged was fifty cents for an office call and a dollar for a house visit. Commencing with the New Year the price of an office call was raised to seventy five cents and a house visit to $1.50. If the house call is made after 6 p.m. the price is $2. For a call in the country the rate of $1 is charged with an additional rate of 50 cents for every mile the person lives outside the borough limits. There is no denying the fact that the raise in the price of the services of the physicians has been keenly felt in this place. Some people are so economical that they cannot afford to be sick, while others, after they have taken ill, wait as long as possible before calling in the family physician. The question of the raise is really working a hardship in some families, it is claimed.
