Net earnings Of the New York
Telephone company for 1925, altho an
improvement over those of 1924, fell
considerably short of providing the
reasonable return on the fair value of
the property to which the company is
entitled by law, according to the com
panys annual report made public to-
day
The net return from telephone OPP
Grafton on the book cost of the prop
erty, which, the report says, is much
below its present value, with allow
ance for working capital was 4.67
percent which compares with $3.50
percent earned in 1924, In New York
CITY where, the company contends
rates are most inadequate, the net
return was 400 percent in 1925 and
only 2.78 percent in 1924. The ccm-
putation of these percentages includes
as operating revenue So, 225, 546 re-
cieved from the 10 percent surcharge
in effect under court order in New
York city, and from the increased
rates in New Jersey, both of which
are subject to possible refund. In
Guiding this amount net income
available for dividends for the year
was $19, 024 1873. Dividends of $1S,-
O0I, 1875 were paid leaving a balance
for surplus Of $1,023, 6O7. If the
amount subject to possible refund is
excluded, operations for the wear
would show deficit of approximately

idends.
The report says that the company
operates approximately $500, OOU tele-
phones in New York state, northern
| New Jersey and small part Of Con-
Enecticut and both revenues and e2-
penses are consequently large. Due
in part to the addit ion of nearly 20U.-
600 telephones to the system in 1925,
both gross revenues and expenses
reached new high totals. The in
crease in net income was 1904 ,021 over
1924. A large part Of this, President Mo.
Colloh says, was due to the surcharge in
New York City which was in effect for
the entire year but for only eight
months ia 1924, and also to the increase
in rates in New Jersey which became
effective on June /, 1925. Favorable
conditions Of general business resulted
