Utilities Body.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day held a public hearing in Commits
sioner Brownlow's office, on the pc
tition of the Terminal Taxicab Com
pany for an increase in taxicab ra. ties.
u. Thomas Dunlap, president, and
attorney for the company, and A. ~
Huttel, auditor for the company, pre-
sented figures showing the grosa rev
enue for the past eleven months 10

will earn only = per cent on its in
vestment, while the commission pro-
vides for a fair return to the COM
pany of 10 per cent. they stated
The company asks that the rate be
increased from thirty TO forty cents
mile. The present rate is 80 cents
half mile. and 10 cents every ad-
ditional third of a mile. This will
make no difference in the rates for
ore mile. For every mile thereafter
1t will mean 10 cents increase.
1t is estimated the increased rate
VIII net the company a profit during
the next year OF about 100000. or a
per cent return on investment.
The company officials asserted that,
with the present rate, they would soon
go into bankruptcy. Increased cost of
abor and operating expenses were
given as the reasons for the company
seeking higher rates.
Several years ago the company
voluntarily reduced its rates. The
rates asked now are the same as were
effective before the voluntary reduc-
ton.
Commissioner Brownlow was the
only member of the commission pres
ent at the hearing. He announced a
decision would be made in several
weeks.
