FINDING THE TELEPHONE RATE

FINDING IHE IELEInUNE hAALs
The City Council will take up the
telephone question again at its meet
ing Tuesday night. Are the rates OF
the Columbia Telephone Company too
high? The answer is what the coun-
Gil is seeking.
]. A. Hudson. president of the COM
pany, has shown his willingness to
have a fair settlement of the question.
He proposes that the council select
competent engineer to work with
one whom Mr. Hudson himself will
choose. These two men will make
careful inventory of all the equip
ment of the telephone plant in the
town. They will determine how much
money is invested in the telephone
system, taking as basis the cost of
replacing the plant as it is today. The
company and the council each will
pay it's own engineer for his services
and his expenses. The plan is that
a third expert be called in to help
cecide any question upon which the
two engineers might disagree. The
expense of this man would be di-
vided equally.
Records have been kept of the val
ua.ion put upon the equipment and
property of telephone companies in
st Louis and other cities. Mr.. Hud-
sol. points out that these records
would give information to those try
ing to place a value on the Columbia
plant. There are also the decisions
of various courts and commissions
throughout the country which have to
do with similar valuations. These
would be placed in the hands of the
investigating experts.
Decisions have also been made on
the correct method of estimating the
amount of depreciation of a telephone
system. These are considered as
standards in investigating work of
this kind. These would be accessible
to the engineers who would look into
the situation here.
Mr.. Hudson says that the books,
records and vouchers of the telephone
company are open at any time to an
investigating committee. Account
ants could go over these and find out
exactly what the expenses of the COM
pany are. The net earnings would
be calculated
The plan of the telephone company
provides for a fair, expert estimation
of the amount the company has in
vested; the amount that should be
put annually into a sinking fund to
cover depreciation and the exact net
receipts of the enterprise. The engi-
neers would have all the facts that
are necessary for finding the per cent
the stockholders make on their in
vestment. That is surely the first
thing to be ascertained in the case.
Until this is found out there is surely
little of Importance that can be said
about high telephone rates in Colum-
bia.
