ment. For 1916, the return was
only 2.68 per cent. This earnings
rate for last year does not in
clude the small effect of re-
fund on past Federal Income
taxes. No such refunds will be
available in 1947 and future
years. We have every reason to
believe that, in the face of in
creased costs, earnings will re-
main grossly inadequate unless
we get some relief in the form
of better rates.
Must Expand Facilities
I'VE must expand our facilities
to meet the rapid growth of
Florida. The Company plans to
call for gross expenditures of APP
proximately sos, 100000 for con-
struction in Florida during the
next five years. In the interest
of our subscribers, we must pro-
tect the soundness of tn tele-
phone system and protect the
full usefulness of the service by
having our earnings capacity
more nearly equal costs.
"The rate revision we are now
requesting is very modest in view
of the heavy increases in ex-
penses we have sustained loo a
long period and the extensive
building program now being I'M
dertaken in the state. The Tele-
phone Company's policy has been
to keep it's rates as low as was
consistent with financial safety
and that policy continues.
1.-THE Southern Bell Company
has grown with Florida, Dooley
said, and we are proud of the
part we have taken in that
growth. We look forward to an
expanding telephone service that
will reach more people, create
more jobs and promote the state $
DEVELOPMENT. Reasonable earn
ines are, of course, essential to
the attainment of these oblec-
tives."

Southern Bell Asks Raise
In Florida Telephone Rates

Because of greatly increased
wages and higher costs of ma.
terial and building construction
the Southern Bell Telephone ane
Telegraph Company yesterday
asked authority to raise rates in
Florida to meet the increased
costs of providing service and
to enable the Company to i'm
prove and expand service.
In petition filed with the
Florida Railroad Commission, the
Company said its expenses in
this state had climbed 181 per
cent since 1910, while revenue
increased only 129 per cent. Dur
ing this same period, total pay
roll costs increased 243 per cent
The Company said it had 5000
employees providing service in
Florida.
The rate increase for local serv-
ice would be on a sliding scale,
depending on the size of locality
The Company is also asking au-
thority to increase long distance
rates on most calls within the
state by 5 cents. The Company
stated that the requested rate
increase would not produce all
the added revenue that current
costs indicate is needed but that
it hoped that its operating ex-
perience under the requested
rates would prove them to be SUI
ficient. 1t was further stated that
the total overall increase would
be only about 1912 per cent of
Southern Bells total revenues in
the state.
"The Company is doing a larg-
er volume of business than ever
before" A. B. Dooley, Florida
Manager, for Southern Bell, said,
but our earnings have dropped
to a dangerously low point. This
has resulted from the fact that
wages and other costs have gone
steadily upward during recent
years while rates for local tele-
phone service have remained the
same and long distance rates
have even been reduced"
States Increased Costs
Dooley pointed out that tele-
phone wage rates alone for Flor.
ida had increased by $3,788,784
since March, 1945, on an annual
basis, adding that the costs OF
erecting buildings have jumped
rs per cent to 100 per cent ano
the overall cost of telephone ia.
cilities so to IS per cent.
1--WE are now asking now bi
increases in rates that will more
nearly reflect the costs of provid-
ing the service" Mr.. Dooley said
THAT we have been able fol
many years to absorb increased
costs, without asking for higher
rates, is, we feel, remarkable
achievement of which the Com
pany's management. its employees
and subscribers can justly be
proud"
Dooley stated that the tele,
phone company has increased its
investment in Florida by $22,-
100000 in the last six years anc
now has about $68,000,000 in
vested in facilities serving the
state.
The Telephone Company die
not profit from the war; Dooley
said. land earnings have contlnu-
cd to drop even more sharply
since the war ended, in spite OF
further increases in volume OF
business. For 1910, the return
was SOB per cent on the invest

Two Virginia Children,

ease last month in Leland Memorial
Hospital in Prince Georges County
Md.
The District resident is q 55-year-
old woman, living in the $500 block

The other patients are a boy, S,

They are cousins, and were admitted
to Children's Hospital Saturday
with rashes characteristic of the
disease. Doctors we're awaiting re-
suits of laboratory tests today to
confirm the diagnosis of spotted
fever.
A hospital official said the young
sters were believed to be in their
ninth day Of the disease. Their all
ment had originally been diagnosed
as chicken pox, whose rash is not
unlike that of spotted fever.
The girls family reported a tick
was found on her body just before

Doctors have traced the origin o.
spotted fever to infected ticks and
estimate that one diseased female
! tick can transmit the malady te
5000 progeny.
About 500 cases are reported an
nually throughout the country. Ac'
cording to the United States Public
Health Service, about one-fourth o1
these occur in Maryland and Vir-

In the Eastern United States, the
