A decision of far-reaching i'm
portance affecting many thousands
of telephone users in Ohio was rem
dered last week by the state public
utilities commission following it's
investigation of the Ohio Bell Tele-
phone company. Based on the COM
missions finding as to value, the
company received rates of return
ranging from 6.18 percent in 1882
to 9.01 percent in 1926, with 8.95
percent in 1925 and 5.51 percent
in 1893. The commission ruled
that the rates for service were un-
just and unreasonable, that the
company be requested to submit
new schedules with first considera-
tion given to proper reduction of in
creased rates and that the excess
set income be repaid to users. This
excess is estimated at over $13,-
900, 900. affecting 46 communities
under the Pence law, which pro-
vides for refunds to subscribers un-
der a bond given by the company.
The finding was made by Frank w.
Geiger and Charles F. Schaber, a
majority Of the commission, with
E. j. Hopple, chairman, dissenting.
The company announced it would
appeal the decision, which means
that refunds to subscribers will be
delayed.
