Explains Increases.
when the company introduced tie
existing rates" Mr.. Clarkson said,
we increased the dinerentfal in rates
for the several classes. Prior to the
first rate increase in 1919 the Diff
ferential between the rates TOR the
several classes OF service had re-
mained fairly constant and the re-
suit was that there had been very
little change in the proportion OF sub
scribers under the several classes OF
service. The increase in rates which
I have referred to was for the pur-
pose OF securing additional revenue
to take care Of increased costs"

ice, that is. the individual line classes.
ArKument for Reduction.

reduction Of the rates is contained in

spread between the individual line

ward trend in the individual line
service. and . very distinct upward
trend in tho party limo service. This
lieve. would reach q point where it
would seriously impair the quality or
character OF the service we furnish.
and. having observed this tendency.
we believe IL should be checked with
out further delay. Now the only way
of eliminating this apparent difhcn'tE.
that is, narrowing the sprea1 between
these classes of service. IS either {"
increase the existing two-party rate
or minimum class. or else decrease
