NEW PHONE RATES
Company, At Hearing, Declares
Inability to Earn Dividend
on Present Rates.

Increase In expenses and failure
TO earn but one per cent on the valua-
ton OF It's property were the chief
reasons advanced today ny experts
OF the need OF the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company for
higher telephone rates.

senting the public, and telephone Of
hcials and experts present the hear
ing OF the Utilities Commission to con-
slider the petition for higher rates
began in the Board room OF the Dis
trict Building today.
Little Opposition.
There was little opposition to the
increase. other than Mr.. Clayton
and two citizens association repre-
sentatives the hearing was attended
only by officials and experts OF the
company and members OF the Utili-
ties Commission.
IL. C. Gretz. chief accountant OF the
company. was the first witness on
the stand. He testified that the com
pany was earning but Sl52 ,o2S. or L.
per cent on its valuation. The com
pany's petition for higher rates, II
granted, will net the company sOoo.-
573, or Al per cent on the valuation.
Gretz stated that cost OF labor had
increased 80 per cent, together with
increase of material cost OF IS per
cent He saw no possibility OF de-
crease in wages but more likely an
increase.
Rate of Increase.
Walter b. Clarkson. general com
mercial manager of the c.. a. r., pre-
scented the present and proposed rates.
They follow:
Unlimited residence phones, now So
month, proposed $3.50: extension
phones. now so cents month, proposed
70 cents; two-party line residence. 50
calls a month. now s2.25. proposed
$3.50: individual limited phones. 80
messages, now $3.50, proposed 81, In
crease OF / cent for every additional
call: two-party line business phones,
40 calls a month. now $3.50. proposed
So; extension business phones, 90
cents, no change, and revision of all
rates on public branch exchanges.
A balance sheet covering the net
results of the company's operations
since the property was valued in 1915
was presented. 1t showed that the
company's capital stock had remained
unchanged; that the funded debt had
increased slightly, and that the sur
plus and undivided profits had in
creased slightly, viz. $4,000.
Increased Valuation.
Evidence was offered showing that
the money the company used to erect
more buildings and extend it's serv-
ices came by realizing upon its ad-
vances to system corporations.
1t was shown the company's valua-
ton increased from $G,5O0,0OO in 1916
to $14,O52, 900 in 1919. Present build
ings rendered useless by the end of
the war are not included in the valua-
ton, the testimony showed.
Charles W.. Artz and Henry b. +.
mcfarland represented the company
today.
The company today asked that the
new rates become effective June /.
The commission must make some
change or continue the present rates,
as the commissions order provides
for change next June.
