HOLDS THEM FAIR
and REASONABLE
Gives Company 4.86 Per
Cent Return on Valu-
alton Fixed.
PLEA TURNED DOWN
Request of Federation of Citi-
zens Associations Rejected by
District Commissioners.
PLEA TURNED DOWN

Present rates of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
win continue in. effect until next
February IS, the Public Utilities
Commission decided yesterday.
The present rate would have ter
minated July 81. A hearing was
held by the commission July 20 and
the decision announced yesterday is
the outcome.
Rates which win continue for an
other seven months are: 81 a month
for business individual lines (fifty
calls a month";; $3.50 a month for
residential unlimited lines; $2.50 q
month Ior two-party lines. residen-
ttal (35 calls. a month).
The plea OF the Federation1of Cit
liens Associations that the present
monthly settlement basis for calls
on unmeasured service be abandon
ed in favor of the former system OF
annual settlements, was rejected by
the commission. The present sys-
tenn is more equitable than the for
mer, the commission declared.
In its decision, the commission
says: The evidence shows. and the
commission believes. that the pros
pective increase in business during
the coming year with, possibly, fur
ther reductions in operating costs
will enable the company to earn q
larger but not unreasonable rate OF
return at the present rates. These
rates, the commission believes, are
fair and reasonable and should be
continued for a definite period
The commission places the tenta-
tive fair value of the company's
property at s12,7s9.2so.l8. The pres
ent rates give the company a rate
of 4.s6 per cent return on this val
uation-
The rates in effect prior to May
IS, 1920, slightly lower than ths
present, will go into effect or
March 1, next year, unless the com
mission orders otherwise. the deel-
sion reads. The present rates hrsl
went into effect May 26. 1920, anc
were renewed on January 81, this
year, for a period Of six months.
