DOUBLING OF
STATE UTILITY
RATES FEARED
Alarm Created by U. S. SUI
preme Courts Ruling on
Valuation Basis.

Possibility of rate increases of Learly
1OC per cent for all public utility oper-
ators in Indiana is seen In the decision
of the United States supreme court up
holding the reproduction new" IS the
valuation basis for fixing railroad rates,
experts of the public service commission
said today.
The decision was made in the case Of
the Kansas City Southern railroad
against the interstate commerce commits
sion. According to press dispatches from
Washington, the supreme court held thar
the present value Of physical property
of the railroad should be accepted as
the basis for determining rates.
ESTIMATED COST
or REPRODUCTION.
In most cases physical property Of rail
roads. street car, telephone. electric light
and power aud gas companies Of the
country would cost nearly double their
original values if reproduced today.
Property value is the largest item con
sidered in rate fixing. Other items are
operating cost and percentage OF profit.
From the valuation must be deducted
the amount of depreciation.
In fixing the new schedule of rates for
Bell Telephone companies operating in
Indiana the public service commission
recently refused 10 accept the repro
duction new" basis offered by the COM
pany. but based the new rates on the
reproduction values of companies va
rious physical properties throughout a
period OF FIVE years. Many other rate
cases have been decided by the commits
sion on She same basis.
Conditions similar to those created IN
Indiana by the basis established by the
