It tnny not be out ot placo to point out that If all sub scribers nro retained nt tho proposed Increased rates, tho rovonua ot tho company, Including tho amount resulting from tho ndvnnced rates, wilt still fall short of the amount necessary to pay a return on tho Investment, allow for proper depreciation of plant and operating expenses by $18,905,0 1 peryenr, and n deficit of $12,538.28, to nlono meet tho Interest on bonds nnd notes, operation and depreciation of plant, with no provision whatever for a return on tho Investment.

In Section III. paragraph "f" ot this application Is figured upon the reproduction cost of tho physical plant, excluding land and build ings, and does not Include any provision for the amortization of tho loss In valuo between tho money Invested In plant nnd the reproduction value, which loss, in tho opinion of the petitioner, could be considered ft propor chargo ugalnst tho service. It Is, however, tho belief of tho management or tho Home Tolopliono and Telegraph Company that an advanco In rates greater than that speci fied In this application should bo do f erred until such tlmo as tho greater value of the service, resulting from tho Increased number ot telephones ' connected with the Medford and Jacksonville oxr.hnngcs, will preclude tho possibility of any considerable loss of subscribers by reason of tho higher rates charged. IX. Wherefore, said Tho Home Tolcphono & Telegraph Company of South ern Oregon prays that after duo hearing nnd Investigation said commission make an order granting tbo application herein and establishing tho said proposed rate.
