Besides a loss in the number of tele 'phone stations due to, the high rates it was claimed that . there Had been a loss ; of income to the company on account of ifi5scribers changing from one and two party lines to four or more " party service. - . . Witnesses contended that the con tinuation of the present rates would result in a continuing decreased net revenue to the company, -v Another point covered in the4 rehear ing was that of tolls on long distance Service. Engineers- and ' rate, experts testifying on behalf of the commission said that Portland only gets 30 pr . cent of the revenue from this source. whereas 50 per centwould be a rea sonable Credit. ' ; I It was also .the opinion of these wit ' n esses that the . depreciation charge made by the company is excessive and that the reserve built up by setting aside from 5 to 6 per cent of the yearly revenue should be reduced if not dis continued altogether. The reserve on account oXidepreciation was declared to amount now? to 30 per 'cent of the entire value; off depreciable property v owned by the edmpany. A- reasonable " reduction would be 50 per cent, it was saidr-". f-. :. Mrs. J. C. Othus, appearing orr be . half of the housewives' council of Portland, testified that from iier ob servation and information, obtained from others the telephone (service- has deteriorated badly since the present rates went into effect in 1921.""" The .commission will fix a date Mon day on which the rehearing will be Jtesumed. Additional time is required fby the investigators of the Commission to gather information, and y the tele- phone company to assemble and pre sent )ts defense of the present rates.
