The Increases, which affect Denver

the company two hundred and seven
ty thousand dollars more revenue an
nusliy. The company asked for half
a million dollars increase in its reve-
rues
The order is based on the commits
sion's valuation of the company's
property and an eight per cent net
income. as provided by the order Of
January S. 1917. This resulted in
nearly half million dollars less
revenue than was expected
The higher telephone rates will not
affect Greeley. Trinidad. Boulder.

After that. however. toll line rates
will be slightly increased.
The Commission is unprepared at
