With the object of establishing a uni form system of tolls, the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph Company. In Ore gon, at the request of the State Rail road Commission, has started the work of making an Inventory and appraise ment of its property. The company has employed a corps of men to do the work and has opened special offices in Portland for them. The appraisal will be made so that the engineers of the State Railroad Commission may have access to them at all times to check the results. Heretofore, in making valuations upon which to fix rates, the Railroad Commission has first asked for a valua tion, from the company and used that as a basis upon which to arrive at one of its own. However, in the case of the telephone company, an agreement was reached whereby the company and the engineers of the Commission will work simultaneously, that when the appraisal has been made by the com pany, the Commission will know if It is correct. As the engineers and em ployes of the company virtually will work in conjunction, it is believed that the report will be taken by the Com mission without question. Many complaints have been received by the Commission regarding the rates and service of the company, and it was decided some time ago that the best way to arrive at a uniform schedule was to have an appraisement made of the property. Discrimination has been charged in numerous instances. It has been estimated that the value of the Pacific Telegraph & Telephone Com pany's property in this state is about $90,000,000. The Commission is determined that a uniform system of rates be estab lished, to put an end to the many com plaints of patrons.
