FRIDAY, 'OCTOBER
SHOWS DECREASE
- That there lias be(t. a loss of rere-
" nue to the Pacific Telephone 4t Tele f
graph company since 'j, rates were" Ui
- creased, March. 1J21, icordlns to the
company, rand : that servics toss flejr
terrioratttd, say ) a ' member t ot ths
Housewives' Council, wu the burden
of the ' testimony Introduced -Thursday
before the public service commission at
the-continuation of the raoe rehearin.
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.

addressed a large meeting of Pendle

to see an indorsement of the adminis
