"rates."
Speaking of the rate question
which has been raised IN new
Mexico through the increase In tha
phone rate recently adopted anu
which lead to the corporation com
mission hearings at Santa Fe, MT,
Greenawalt brought out the fact
that taxes might possibly have
something to do with at least q
part of the increase in the rates.
"Our company paid New Mex
leo taxes amounting to about
$4,000 in 1915 and last year we
paid approximately $4,000" he
declared.
"There are two sides to the pub"
lie utility question" he stated.
1.-THE public wants service at reas-
enable rates and the utility com
pany wants a fair return for the
money invested.
II take it that efficient service
in the telephone business consists
of rapid service and good conneo-
lions with about any person with
whom a user wants to speak. THIS
kind OF service Is a cause OF con-
tinual increases in working capital
"a fair return on the investment,
Is a return which is a fair rate OF
interest. A public utility cannot
exist without these two features.
Speaking of the constant broad
ening of telephone service In the
state, Mr.. Greenawalt sketched the
difference in the equipment nee
essary here now and ten years ago
and brought out the fact that I'M
provement must be done with new
capital, not with earnings.
"Within the next five years New
Mexico can only be efficiently
served by the addition of at least
one million dollars in equipment
