PUG Accountant Faces
Further Quiz on Share
Price as Fare Factor

The chief accountant Of the
Public Utilities Commission will
undergo further cross-examina-
ton at 10 am. November 13 on
what the Capital Transit Co. law
yers say is his novel theory OF
fixing rates.
]. w. Falk. the accountant, was
on the stand all of yesterday.
as the PUG resumed its hearing
Of the transit company's request
for higher bus and streetcar fares.
A recess until November 13 was
set by PUG Chairman James Flan-
agan, over the protests of transit
attorneys.
The novel theory of Mr.. Falk,
according to F. Gloyd Await. one
of the transit lawyers, is that
the reasonable rate of return to
the company should be based in
part on consideration of the SELL
ing price of transit stock on the
market.
Questioning Mr.. Falk yesterday,
Mr.. Await asked:
Are you advocating that, in
arriving at a reasonable rate of
return, the PUG should give con-
sideration to the price paid for
the stock in the open market?"
Cites $40 Price.
"In this case" Mr.. Falk an
,swered, that element should be
taken into consideration, since so
per cent Of the stock was acquired
at $40 a share not long ago."
Mr.. Falk was referring to the
purchase of controlling stock in
terest in the transit company in
|1949 by a group of Florida in
vestors, headed by Louis Wolfson.
The stock since has risen in price
to as high as $48 a share and last
year dividends totaling 81 were
paid on each share.
What about the other so per
cent of the stock?" Mr.. Await
asked.
I'm not saying the PUG
should base it's decision on this.
But it should consider it. A 81
dividend on a $40 share of stock
lis a 20 per cent return for so per
cent of the stockholders" Mr..
Falk said.
Rate Base Chief Factor.
The transit stand is that the
price of the stock has no place in
consideration of the rate of re-
turn. The return is determined
by the PUG on the rate base.
This rate base is the fair valua-
ton of transit property used and
useful" a valuation set for rate
making purposes only. Changes in
the price of the stock does not
affect the rate base.
Mr.. Await then asked:
Suppose I bought 10 shares of
stock at $48 a share. Am I to
be treated as if I paid $2O?"
Mr.. Falk repeated that it all
should be taken into considera-
tion.
The PUG has indicated, in
the past. that from 6la per cent
to 7l2 per cent is a fair rate of
return on the rate base but has
not fixed the rate of return as
such. Transit company officials
have testified in favor of rate
return of around 10 per cent.
The company is seeking the
Ielemination of tokens, now selling
ut three for 40 cents, and an in
crease in the price of weekly
passes from 81 to $2.25. The 15-
cent cash fare would remain the
same,

Mother, thou vast mild and lovely

Peaceful by thy silent Slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our num-

Thou no more our songs shall

Dearest Mother, thou hast left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But its God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
Then, in heaven, with JOY to greet
thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
