For Service
Increases Ranging From
45c To $1.2O Are Asked;
Public Service Commits
siOns Plans Hearing.

The Diamond State Telephone
Company today filed new tariffs
with the Public Service Commits
sion OF Delaware which will in
crease present rates, depending on
the type of service, from 45c to
S1.2O a month for residence custo-
mers with corresponding Increases
for business customers throughout
the state.
The new rates, expected to pro-
vide additional annual net income
OF $1,073, 700, are scheduled to go
into effect on September Is, A. E.
Rose, Diamond State Company
manager, said.
He pointed out that imitation con-
fronts the telephone company with
the same basic problems as every
other business, and cited the in
creased cost of materials and wages
as the big reason for needing
higher rates at this time.
Rose stated that, with a years
experience with existing rates, the
company earned less than the re-
turn allowed by the commission in
prescribing the present rates. He
stressed the need for adequate
earnings so that the company can
undertake the type Of planning and
construction which in the long run
means better telephone service and
lower cost to the customer than
would otherwise be the case.
"Our construction requirements
have been increasing, requiring
substantial amounts of investor
capital to finance new expansion" "
Rose stated. This expansion means
more jobs, more local purchases
and other benefits to Delaware"
He estimated that the Diamond
State COmpany's expansion rate
through 1860 will approach 81 mill
