For tho further Information of tho commission, thorn Is attached hereto
detailed statement, designated aa "tixhlhlt A' showing number ot sub
scribers, rate now paid by cacti, proposed rato nnd estimated Increase In
annual revenue that will bo derived under tho revised schedules, amount
ing to $10,770.00. 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. Furthermore, tho rate of doproclntlon,
C.75 per cent. 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.
