TELEPHONE COMPANIES.
Pleas for Lower Assessment Made to
the Tax Board.

If one were to take literally the state
ments Of various telephone company repre-
sentatives that appeared before the State
Board of Tax Commissioners yesterday TO
protest against assessments fixed at the
first session of the board it would appear
that the telephone business in Indiana is
not lucrative. Yesterday the office of the
board was crowded with telephone men, all
having the same general story to tell the
board. All said that their companies are.
for the most part, new and just finding out
how to make the business pay and that it
is unfair to burden them with heavy assess
ments at the very outset. A number of
small farmers lines were represented be-
fore the board and II was shown that these
small companies, which serve small towns
and farmers, make rate much lower than
larger and Weather telephone corpora
tions. Most of them, it was said, make a
rate of 10 cents a month for house tele-
phones, $3.50 for business houses and 81 for
farmers phones. These rates, the State
board was assured, hardly pay for the
maintenance of the companies
In fixing the assessments on telephone
companies during the first session of its
meeting the State board had. necessarily, to
do a good deal of guess work, since many
of the small telephone companiese have
been organized very recently, and since
only few of the managers came before
the board at its first session Among the
companies that were represented before the
board yesterday were the Mugg COMPANY
of Bloomington and Spencer; the NJ E. Tel
ephone Company, of De Kalb county; the
Noble County Telephone Company of AL
bion; the Upton Telephone Company and
the Plainfield company
