Representative, Local Better

Since the local Better Housing
committee opened it's office in the
Citizens Bank building, many per-
sons have visited the office for in
formation concerning the building
and improvement program offered
under the F. H. A.. and interest in
it is running at high pitch.
The financial Set-up as is avail
able under the F. H. A. offers the
people of Hendcrsonville and Hen
derSon county an excellent oppor-
tunity to build new homes, to I'M
prove and modernize existing
homes and to improve and mod
ernie business properties. II all
persons who are interested will
call at the Citizens Bank building
|. as representative of the local
Better Housing committee, will be
glad To advise with them. The of
fee is open during banking hours
and by appointment in the after
moons.
One of the features of the F..
II. A. that shOuld be Il strong in
centive for the building of new
homes is that up to 90 per cent of
the appraised value of the proper
ty will be loaned for that purpose,
provided the loan does not exceed
$1,000. In other words, if the loan
desired Toes not exceed 81, 400,
and the appraisal warrants the
amount one needs, Il person is re-
Quired to have only a 10 per cent
equity in the property to build
new home that he intends to oc-
cupy. More often than not the
property the applicant owns and
intends to build upon will be equal
to the required 10 per cent equity.

welcomed the opportunity to place
before the commission all facts as to
the manner in which our business is
conducted. I naturally assumed that
we would have fair investigation
and an opportunity to place before the
commission all of the material facts
pertaining to all phases of the COM
pany's business which the commission
should desire to study.
The investigation, however, was
one-sided from start to finish. We
were denied not only the right to
cross-examine investigation witnesses
and to be heard in our own behalf,
but were denied the right to have in
cluded in the record written material
which We had prepared and consid-
cred necessary to point out serious
and important errors affecting most
of the investigators reports Com
missioner Walkers report must be
appraised in light of these facts.

Says Service Best.
This country has the best, the
most extensive, the most widely used
and the cheapest telephone service in
the world. In spite of this, it would
appear that fault has been found with
almost everything this company has
done throughout its existence. This
just does not make sense.
Bell System earnings have never
been excessive. The suggestion that
rates might be reduced 25 per cent
throughout the Bell System without
reducing net earnings by changing de-
probation and other major policies
and practices is absurd.
According to the summary, the
report claims for the investigation
credit for reductions in rates and
many other things which, in the nor
NAL course Of business and in ac-
cordance with the companys policy
antedating the existence of the Fed
eral Communications Commission,
would have taken place without any
investigation.

the system controls between 80 and
80 per cent of local telephone service
in the country; SO per cent Of the
long distance wires including those
used for radio program transmission.
and also manufactures, through the
subsidiary Western Electric Co., more
than 80 per cent of the telephone
equipment in the country
Research activities, the preliminary
report said, have been directed partly
toward controlling patents in ad-
jacent industries lin order to protect
the telephone monopoly from emerg-
ing forms of communication and the
costs have been assessed against tele-
phone subscribers rather than against
the stockholders who are benefited
thereby"
Standardization of both plant and
operating methods in the Bell System,
it charged, has resulted in suppress
sion of invention, failure to supersede
outtmoded equipment with superior
types capable of rendering more effi-
cient and less expensive telephone
service"
The report pointed out that operat-
ing companies buy their equipment
from the A. T. e. T-controlled West
ern Electric at "artif1cially controlled"
prices which make up part of the
telephone rate base
Excessive Reserves Charged.
Excessive depreciation reserves have
been built up through the income from
telephone users and used by Bell Sys-
TEN companies to finance new con-
struction, the report also charged,
thereby enabling them to obtain
source of capital free from the burden
OF interest or dividend requirements
on which they have claimed return
to the extent that the depreciation
reserves exceeded the observed depre-
ciation."
Results of the investigation, Mr..
Walker contended, demonstrate the
necessity for adoption of long-range
national policy in order to
achieve efficient telephone service at
reasonable cost"
Although declaring he was unable
to agree with some Of Mr.. Walkers
recommendations, Mr.. Craven said he
did believe that "in general the report
indicates the necessity for an improve
ment in the existing regulation Of the
telephone system" He added, how
ever, that "it is only fair to recognize
that the telephone service in this coun-
try is, in general, excellent"
Mr.. Craven also said he felt more
could have been accomplished if the
telephone company had not been de-
MED the right of cross-examination
and rebuttal during the investigation.
