HOME TELEPHONE.
COMPANY GIVEN
RATE AUTHORITY
So Increase in Effect Since
Autumn 1918, Sanctioned
by Commission.

The Indiana Public Service commits
sion has granted the Richmond Home
Telephone company the right to raise
practically all rates SO a year, for the
period ending October /, 1920. A joint
petition, asking for the increase in
rates. was presented to the commits
sion by the city OF Richmond and the
telephone company. The award was
made public Tuesday.
The rate has been in effect since
october !, 1918, so there will be no
further rate change by the company.
Single line business phones raised
from $39 to $42 year. single line resi-
dence phones from $21 to $24, two
party business lines, from 500 to $36.
two-party residences from $18 to $21
and four-party residences from SIS to
$18.
The increase OF the country tele-
phones controlled by the Richmond
company is the same except that Sc
is added to the charge for each half
mile the phone is beyond a one-mile
radius of the central ONCE.
ls Emergency Measure
The increase was granted as an
emergency measure according to the
commissions decision, and was given
because the company was not making
a sufficient profit. because of the high
cost Of all materials used In the busi-
ness, and its own energy in giving
efficient service.
The compromise between the city
and the company, and the joint petit
ton, followed q petition filed for in.
creased rates by the company last
fall, according to which the company
was to begin the higher charges on
October /, 1918.
The city, through the city attorney,
filed objections to this increase, and a
period followed during which the COM
pany and the city sought to compro-
mise. The temporary establishment OF
higher rates was proposed by both,
finally, and no opposition was ex-
pressed.
Efficiency Commended
Thereupon the company and the city
presented a joint petition asking fo-
the increase, and this has BEEN grant
ed almost in entirety. Tie original p :
tition asked for a Sc charge per year
on city service extended into the coun-
try for each Quarter-mile away from a
central station, and the commission
gave this increase only for each half
mile

standpoint of service rendered stands

was given to the fact by the commits
sion. Consideration was also given TO
the company's efforts to expand auto
