Harrlsburg, Sept. 18. The Bell Tele phone Comnnnv of Pennsvlvnnin yester day took up heforo the puhlic service commission the question of valuation nnd rates virtually where It had left off in 1017, when the commission, in order to adjust rates, ordered a reduction In revenues of 51,000,000. The hearing today, however, was not on the com pany's Initiative, but n result of com plaints filed from Pittsburgh nnd the commission's own investigation relative to the necessity of continuing the 20 per cent increase ordered as a war measure by Postmaster General Burle son, 'the company went fully into valua tion questions when the rates were ad justed in 1017 by cutting down long 'distnnce and toll calls. That decision came after more than three venrs of hearings. At that time the commission did not establish a fair valuation on the property or fix a rate basis. This is what the Bell company now says is the only solution of the rate question in Pennsylvania. Leonard M. Kinnurtl, of Philadelphia, tho president and general mnnnger of the company, after voluminous tables of figures had been introduced to sT.ow material nnd wuge costs bad rapidly increased in recent jcars, said this would be a necessity. "There will be more or less diffi culty," he said, "until this commis sion gives us two thlugs, a fair valu ation and u late based on that valua tion. This rate should bo 8 per cent, and that is the rate fixed for our com panies in New York, New Jersey and Mar; land. The company, following the return of its property by the government, filed nn application to increase its rates above the figures allowed by the commission's 1nt order hv 20 Tier cent, which keeps the rates at tho wartime-period basis. Mr. Klnnard said this was necessary because of tho Increasing prices of to day, thp fact that the company Is now n little below the wago market and it must keep a llttlo nbovn it to get the class of workers needed to maintain good service, and that tho company in tended to mnko further improvements. In this connection it was stated automatic telephones would be Installed as soon as they can be manufactured, tho order having been placed. Tn 1018 tho company expended 7,032,000 on Its plant In tho state: this year the estimated additional capital used will run to 50,14(1.000: In 1020, $7,813,000; In 1021. $11,000,700, and In 1022, $11,700,000. Tho jump mnde after 1020, tbo wltness'sald, would be due to contemplated improvements.
