Results of Examination.
The findings of the Minnesota Stats.
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
are contained in the following commune
cation sent to the local company:
'tThe commission found it necessary
to make an extensive examination Of
the books and records covering several
years accounts. The results Of the
examinations show that the company is
entitled to more revenue than it obtains
under present schedules. However, the
schedule applied for would produce
more than a fair return to the utility
and the commission therefore deems
changes necessary in certain of the
classi6catiofs.
Upon review Of all the facts in this
case, this commission finds that the
following schedule of rates is fair and
reasonable and will yield sufficient
revenue too provide for the necessary
operating expenses, depreciation and
fair return on the investment.
ct is therefore ordered, that the
New Ulm Rural Telephone Company
be, and the same is hereby authorized
to place I'M effect, as Of April 1, 1920
the following rates for local and rura
telephone service at New Ulm, Mime.
