Expense. of Telephone
Company Increased 89.3o

Mr.. Geo. NJ. Welch, General Manager
Of the Michigan State Telephone Com
pany, declares that the increased rates
authorized by the Postmaster General
are needed to meet an emergency un-
paralelled in the history OF the Com
pany.
No dividends have been paid on the
common stock since 1915. From 1918
to 1918. inclusive, new business re-
quiring added capital increased the
revenue of the Company 1850 while
expenses, not including depreciation
nor interest charges, increased $3.50.
If the Company had paid reason
able return on the investment Tor the
year 1918 it would have needed w.
s23.592 more than it did earn. AS a
matter of fact it did not earn enough
tc wholly take care of its depreciation.
The General Manager calls atten-
ton to the problem in Michigan that
faced the Postmaster General when
the Government took over the opera
tion and direction of the Telephone
| lines last August. With continuing
deficit increasing monthly because OF
the increasing costs of materials ana
labor. added revenue had to be oD-
tanned in order to prevent the Gov
ernment from having to make up the
loss. For this reason an application
was made before the Michigan RAN
road Commission for increased rate
| schedules. The rates asked for were
not claimed to be adequate but 1t was
thought that they would produce the
minimum amount with which the
| Company could continue doing busi-
ness and were 80 low and the amount
of added revenue so small that no one
could conscientiously challenge them.
Since that time costs have still further
advanced and conditions have changed
so that the rates now authorized by
the Postmaster General will not meet
immediate needs.
Mr.. Welch says that for six years
there has been a continued enort 10
adjust telephone rates In Michigan
Because OF rapidly changing condi'
tions each schedule proposed has De-
come obsolete before the regulatory
bodies considering 1t had finally pass
ed upon it. While charges for all oth'
er products and services have ad
yanced telephone rates have not In
J creased although the cost OF furnish
,r Y service has been steadily gong up
with this change in rates the In
crease in charges for telephone ser
! vice are not proportionately as grea'
