100000 Annual Gain
In Revenue Under
System
20 PCT. INCREASE ,
SAYS DINGEMAN
Time Extension Likely
To Be Asked For
Appraisal

Whether a metered system will
benefit Detroit's telephone service
by cutting down the number of calls
is questionable. but one thing is
certain, and that Is. II ths applica-
ton of the telephone company is
granted by the stare commission,
the revenue from telephone sub
scribers will be greatly increased.
A preliminary investigation and a
comparison of figures has satisfied
Corporation Counsel Dingeman that
the annual increase in revenue to be
derived from metered service. even
the so-called modified form. would
be about $500. .00O-a 20 per cent In
crease.
PLAINLY. there are two conten-
tions before the state railroad COM
mission" said the corporation coun-
sci. THE people of Detroit want
better telephone service, and the
telephone company wants saore mon
ey from its subscribers. We will ad-
nit we don't want cheap telephone
service, but we want good service
and at reasonable rates"
II is more than likely that De-
troit will join with Milwaukee and
other cities In demanding federal
investigation Of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. and OF the
Western Electric Co, which, IL Is
claimed, exact large sums OF money
from the telephone companies they
are parent to. Corporation Council
Dingeman believes that the city

fairs OF the telephone company as
deeply as possible. He is not salts
fed 20 take the appraisal submitted
by the company without first learn
ing something about the intricate
financing of the concern.
A communication was received
Wednesday morning. in answer to a
letter which the corporation counsel
mailed to the Office OF the railroad
commission, Tuesday. requesting
that the city be given the privilege
of selecting its own appraiser and
auditor without interference from
the railroad commission.
At FIRST II was thought that the
commission would bear at least a
part of the expense OF investigation.
but Corporation Counsel Dingeman
later learned that such was not the
case In this event the city will
employ it's own experts and the CON-
mission will have to hire other ex-
perts II 1t expects to follow the work
OF investigation closely. The letter.
which was from willard N. Sweeney.
secretary Of the commission. stated
that the commissioners would meet
with the attorney-general later In
the week and discuss with him the
city's request. The commissions
answer Is expected before Saturday.
Meanwhile, nothing Is being done
on the appraisal work. and the city
will likely have TO ask for an exten-
sion Of time in which TO complete
the work after II is started. The
three months allowed by the rail-
road commission will be up Sept. 3.
