Money Paid as Installation
Fee Kept by Utility,
Commission Told.

In Cleveland, O., the telephone
company charges $1.75 to install
telephone and the money is refund
cd on the first bill payment.
In indianapolis, and most other
Indiana cities, the company charges
$3.50 to install a phone and then
keeps the money.
These facts were brought to the
attention of public service commits
sioners today at the hearing on
proposed installation rate reduc-,
tons instituted by order Of the
commissioners.
City Attorney Leonard Henoch of
Laporte brought the Cleveland rates
to the attention of Chairman John
w. McCardle of the commission.
Want $3.50 Retained
McCardle and the other commits
sioners, except Commissioner Frank
Singleton. had sat throughout the
morning listening to B. G. Halstead,
Indiana Bell Telephone Company
attorney, plead for retention of the
$3.50 installation rate for business
telephones.
He represented the Bell company
and the Indiana Telephone Asso-
citation, which,. he says is comprised
of from 80 to 95 per cent of tele-
phone company operators in the
state.
SO that hearings might be held
without petition, the commission has
ordered a fiat 81 rate for all in
stallations, both business and resi-
Dental. The rates will not be
effective until formally approved.
The association scountered with a
proposal for $3.50 business install
lation rate on exchange doing more
than 100000 annual business, $3.50
on exchanges rating from 100000
to $4,000 annually. and $3.50 for
exchange doing a gross business
under $4,000.
Objects to Decrease
Attorney Sam Tomlinson, Ply
mouth, appeared for the Goodrich
telephone interests, to voice objec-
ton to the decreases.
Commissioner Calvin Mcintosh,
who wrote the reduction order, de-
clared that he was not speaking
for the commission, but he felt $3.50
"indefensible" for any installation.
The professionals agreed on a 81
residential installation charge. with
$3.50 for the $4,000 or under ex-
changes.
Making any charge at all is
about like merchant requiring you
to buy tickets to trade at his store, :"
Mcintosh declared.
