PHONE EARNINGS
PUT AT S2, 2,104,0())
Return of 6.25 Per Cent in
Year Ending Next June 80
Is Estimated.

The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. will earn S2,104000 during
the IL months ending June 80 next, ac-
ord today of the public hearing on tele-
phone rates by its chief auditor, Harry
c. Gretz.
This sum would represent a return
of 6.25 per cent on $33, 100000 worth of
plant in service" A similar estimate
for the calendar year 1882, offered by
Mr.. Gretz, was to the effect that the
earnings would be $1,918,000 on $32,-
$4,000 worth of plant, or return of
$50 per cent on the plant in service.
The actual figures for 1881, with which
these may be compared, show that on
plant valued at $30,594 ,85l the COM
pany nearned S2,203, ,522, or a return of
7.20 per cent on the plant in service.
The telephone company wound up its
case against any proposed rate reduc-
ton with the testimony on rates offer
ed by Mr.. GretZ, and also furnished
the Public Utilities Commission with
several sets OF figures desired by it, but
failed to furnish an analysis of the
cost of service by the various types of
service, on. account of the alleged i'm
possibility of separating the costs.
William A. Roberts, counsel for the
commission, began croSS-eXamining Mr..
Gretz on the accounting practices Of
the company shortly before the noon
recess. 1t IS expected that the case
will be wound up this week. The
stenographic record already runs to
1,719 pages.

u. S. CHECK CHEERS RETIRED MAN
UNTIL HE SEES IT'S FOR NICKEL
Former Watchman of Old War Trade Board Spent More
for Car Fare and Phones in Collecting

Out of work for months and $40
short in his rent, Alonzo L. Keefer, 604
D street, was delighted to receive an
of1cial-looking letter from the Govern
ment.
Shortly after his retirement as a
watchman at the old War Trade Board
about four years ago, he learned he had
some money coming to him from the
retirement fund to which all Federal
employees contribute and he had made
several unsuccessful efforts to collect it.
His fingers shook as he tore open the
envelope. He was sure it contained
the money he had tried so often to COL
lect, and if it did-well, he wouldn't
have to worry about the rentl
Sure enough, the envelope contained
a check from the treasurer of the
United States. But his delight was
short -lived-the check was for only 5
cents!
That was about a week ago, and
keefer hasn't cashed the check yet.
