TEnEpHoNn CASE UNSETTLED.


Commissioners Honshaw Writes At
forney Kyle That More Evidence
and Reports of Experts Must be
Taken Before Decision in Durhnt
Case Can be Made.
Corporation Commissioner Geo. A.
Henshaw says that the Commission
is doing ali that is possible IN the
Durant telephone reduction cases,
but that nothing can be done now un-
til more evidence Is taken aud more
reports made by experts. He says
that the testimony OF the citizens on
the matter will be Of little value.
1t would appear from his letter that
the courrs are becoming stringent
upon requirements for reduction In
rates. The letter IS as follows
Oklahoma City. Okla, May Q. 1914
Mr. $. H. Kyle,
Durant. Oklahoma.
Dear Mr.. Kyle:
In reference to the telephone rates
at Durant do not know what time
this will be decided. In fact. tho
evidence is not all in. The evidence
that would be given by the people Of
the town Is OF very little service to
the commission in telephone case.
A telephone case requires much data
and time Of experts It has been
impossible for me to find time to give
this matter my personal attention.
The supreme court has laid down
precedents that make It absolutely
impossible to reduce telephone rates
without thorough investigation and
developing the cake upon new facts
The Enid case win be reversed. In
fact, 1 do not agree with the con-
cluslons in that opinion. There is
a medium ground that l believe can
be worked out between the conclusA
ions OF the supreme court 10 the Enid
case and the conclusions OF the ma
iority OF the commission fin the Ada
case
have Been waiting to see the
rules laid down by the supreme
court in the Ada case before taking
up other cases Of similar facts. l
know that / am doing all that any
human can do and am trying to deal
with the matters Of most importance
first.
