Believe Reopening of Bell
Cases May Benefit Public.
AUDIT WORK STARTED
Overhead Expense Cited as
Excessive Reduction Will
Be Sought if Justified.

Rates Of the Indiana Bell Telephone
Company throughout the State will be
decreased after the public service
commission has made its investigation
under the resembling order which re-
opened all pending cases, Il was said
today The investigation may continue
six months before the commission is
able to get a complete audit OF the
company's business.
Determining Valuation
The commission has been at work
on a valuation Of the Bell Telephone
Company's property and this will be
speeded up now that the commission
has decided to go thoroughly into the
operation of the company. Not only
will the companys holdings be valued,
but a complete audit of the cOmpany's
operating expense, both direct and in
direct, viii be made to determine the
operating profit-Or-loss of the State
wide system.
Members Of the commission said
they were not informed as to whether
tn injunction suit pending in Federal
Court in which the Telephone Com
pany asked that the commission be
restrained from preventing a rate in
crease in the Indianapolis area will
be dismissed.

Members of the commission concur
in the belief that the operating ex-
penses of the company have been ex-
cessive. Comparison OF rates in -ities
