TELEPHONE RATES OF
ENTIRE STATE NOW
UNDER INVESTIGATION
Home Telephone Company As
Well As Pacific Company
To Be Reviewed

The Public Service Commission has
taken upon its own motion the general
subject of the rates and practices of the
Home Telephone & Telegraph company,
of Portland, and its allied exchanges in
Oregon, similar to that which is being
conducted as to the Pacific Telephone
& Telegraph Company. The Commission
has called on the Home Company for
full Information as to IFS capitalization,
earnings and expenses, fixed charges,
general comparative balances sheets,
and complete inventory of all prop
erty used in public service, showing
original cost, reproduction cost and the
amount Of accrued depreciation.
The recent complaint filed by the
Public Service League of Portland ask
ing for a physical connection between
the commission that the subject of rates
and the Home Company has convinced
the systems of the Pacific Company
is inextricably woven into the situation
presented by that company and that it
will be necessary to have the same In
formation from the Home Telephone 4
Telegraph Company that has already
been called for from the Bell Company
In compliance with similar demand
from the Commission, made about a
year ago, the Pacific Telephone & Tele-
graph Company has had large force
of men working preparing an inventory
and getting data for the Commission of
its entire Oregon properties. The in
ventory work has been in progress con
tinuously for about a year and has re
quired the services of an average Of
sixty engineers and assistants for the
Oregon properties alone, and the force
has sometimes run as high as a hun
dred. The enormous number of minol
units which enter into a telephone sys
TEN make the appraisal much more diff
ficult on account of the detail neces
sary than is the case with other utilities
and the great number of individual
units makes the particular unit price re-
, fleet itself very strongly in the ulti
mate valuation.
