PHONE RATE
LIFT BEFORE
COMMISSION
Hearings of Petition
Are Begun To-
day.
FILED YEAR AGO
New Charges Affect
Business and
Home.

The Indiana public service commission
began a hearing today of the petition
of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company
for an increase in rates governing charges
In Indianapolis filed year ago and
amended June 9, which, If granted, would
be an increase over the emergency rates
granted the company by the commission
effective Feb. /.
Some Of the increases asked are as fol-
lows:
Business unlimited service-Individna
line, present rate, $500; rate asked, $1,000.
Business, measured: individual line, 120
messages per month, now effective, $500;
individual line, 30 MESA ges per month,
rate asked, $500.
Residence, unlimited: Individual line,
now in effect, S3.75; rate asked, $3.50.
The principal increases asked in the
amended petition would fall on un-
limited service for business and home
telephones. Three dollars more per
month is asked by the company for
business telephones and 75 cents more
for unlimited phone use in residences.
Another feature of the new petition is
asked to establish four party line
service at n cost Of the subscriber OF
$3 per mouth.
The emergency telephone rates
granted the Indiana Bell Telephone
Company for indianapolis, and which have
been in operation four months. if pro-
jected on q yearly basis would be
sufficient to give the company a re-
turn Of one-third of l per cent on the
valuation tentatively fixed. Frank David
son. attorney for the telephone company,
declared in an opening statement at the
hearing on rate increase before the In
diana Public Service ommission today.
In advancing reasons for the new
schedule Of rates asked. Mr.. Davidson
used a property valuation of S1750O 900
which he said would give return Of
less than per cent. and said nothing
less than S per cent IS fair.
Taylor GroninEer. city corporation
counsel, in answer to the statement Of Mr.. /
Davidson declared the projection on a
yearly basis Of the results of the first
three months earnings and expenses was
not fair. as operating expenses. costs of
materials, etc. are decreasing while the
revenue increases.
We believe the present rate is high
enough and all the service is worth" Mr..
Groninger said.
Mr. GronluEer's objections were based
largely on the rate of deprecIati0n the
valuation used as rate making basis
and decrease in value Of the telephone to
the patron because Of fewer telephones.
