Until they do we must pay the
present high charges.
Electric Power and Light; Street
Car Fare.
We spend many thousands Of dol
lars every year for these services
rendered to employees engaged in
the maintenance of the property.
Practically every year the rates
charged by these companies have
been substantially increased, and
there is no thought of any reduc-
ton. The Telephone Company, like
all others, mbust pay these in
creased rates.
Paper, Printing and Stationery.
We consume tons of paper for
book keeping, correspondence and
directory purposes, and pay many
thousands of dollars for printing
annually. This item of expense has
increased in percentage more than
the others, and no one has sug
gested that any reduction in thes
costs is probable.

sThe Telephone Company pur-
chases coal in large quantities to
heat the buildings occupied by its
employees in rendering the service.
We, of course, must pay what
ever price is necessary to secure
the coal for this purpose.

in the total insurance bill.
Taxes.

every year we have been in bust
ness; the increase this year being
unusually high. There is no prob
ability of this expense being re-
duced.
We do not pay any excess profit

enough to be subject to that tax.

MOTOR COMPANY
SEEKS RECEIVER
fRx Associated Press.l

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 19.-Dissolution
of the King Motor Company of De-
troit, and appointment of a receiver
to take over the affairs of the corpor-
alton was asked in a petition filed in
the Wayne county circuit court here
today by the directors of the concern.
The petition set forth that the action
was asked because of the inability of
the directors to give their personal
attention to the affairs of the COM
pany and because working capital
was lacking.

can not reduce the COSTS OF fur
nishing telephone service.
We have carefully studied and
analysed the advertised reduction
in prices and find that they are
upon articles Of which we make but
little. If any. use. Applied to the
telephone business all known re-
duction in prices would not reduce
the cost of furnishing telephone
service one twentieth OF one per
per cent.
This is many times offset by the
increase in wages which, in many
places, we must make during the
current year.
Our present operating revenues
are practically equalled by our op-
Grating expenses. If the present let
down in general business continues
for any appreciable time we viii
lose a material part Of the gross
revenue now received, which will
make a still higher rate necessary
{ IL a deficit is avoided.
We are not asking higher rates
for the SAME SERVICE we fur
nished one, two or five years ago;
but for a much GREATER SER
VICE which we now furnish. con-
sisting OF facilities to add many adj
ditional telephones to our system
during the past one, two and five
years.
This fact should be considered
when comparing the increase in
rates we ask with the increase in
the charges OF railroad, express
and other public utilities for the
for the same quantity OF service.
We hope, as every one does. that
in the relatively near future prices
and the costs Of operation. except
labor. viii be lower, but we see no
immediate prospects Of this result
as far as the Telephone Company
is concerned.
The increased rates we are now
asking are based. in a measure, up
on this hope. IL the present level OF
costs OF operation go higher,
through causes beyond our control,
the proposed rates viii not yield
fair profit.
It is important to remember that
no rate for a public utility is per-
manent. If conditions and prices so
change in the future as to make the
rates we are now asking yield too
high return, and II the Telephone
Company should not reduce the
rates voluntarily, the Public Ser
vice Commission would.
Conditions as they are must be
met. not as they may or should be.
The highest and best interest Of
the public is conserved in having
the Telephone Company in position
to supply facilities adequate to the
demand for telephones and service,
and at all times an adequate SER
vice. No community can expand and
grow without adequate telephone
service, which in turn means ade-
quate plant facilities.
With inadequate returns upon the
bare cost Of the physical property
already in service-the Compauy's
credit has disappeared.
With no credit the Company can
not secure the millions of dollars
required to provide the additions
and extensions 10 it's plant, which
must be provided II the public de-
mand for telephones is supplied.
