Denver.-The inventory of its prop
erty made by the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company
under the direction of the State Pub
lie Utilities Commission was careful
ly and conscientiously made in the
opinion of Fred j. Rankin, electrical
expert for the commission.
He testified to that effect at the
hearing before the commission in
the investigation of the rates and
service Of the company. He said the
inventory SIS as accurate as is prac-
tical or necessary and should be ac-
cepted as correct"
The expert told OF the checks he
made on the vast work of itemizine
the corporations property. On the
general equipment he made checks ot
Alamosa, Boulder, Colorado Springs.
Delta, Denver. Englewood. Fort Cor
Inns. Fort Morgan, Greeley, Littleton.
Longmont, Pueblo and Sterling.
He found slight differences be-
tween his counts of various parts of
equipment and the counts of the con-
pany.
For instance, in n count of S,32l
poles he made in one district there
was difference Of 63-100 Of l per
cent from the company's count, he
said. In count of cross-arms there
was difference of lilo of 1 per cent.
Following the submission of testi-
mony on the inventory of physical
property, the commission adjourned
the hearing until Feb. IA. On that
date the introduction of testimony
will be begun in the matter of finan-
eial valuations OF the company's
property-one OF the most important
angles OF the inquiry.
