Rate Theory of the Great System
j Presented at the Public
Service Commission
INTERCHANGES NOW MADE
j Interesting Statement Regarding
the Business Made by
One of Executives
I The Bc-ll Telephone company yester
day put before the Public Service com
j mission its ideas on the rate question
land, incidentally, gave the interesting
i information that it was about to put
j into effect the agreement made with
j the United States government to allow
J independent companies to interchange
j messages. The hearing was one of the
most interesting in a long time and
I the whole theory of the Bell system
| was presented in extended testimony.
•' T. P. Sylvan, assistant to the presi- !
dent of The Bell Telephone Company
of Pennsylvania and the Central Dis
trict Telephone Company, was the
principal witness. Mr. Sylvan testi
fied on what is known as the "State
wide" theory in the question of rate
making. The Bell Company contends i
that there are undoubtedly places in
the state which are not self-sustaining,
but by reason of the importance of
these towns to other towns, it is neces- j
sary to continue the operation of tele
phono service even though it may be at
a loss. It was brought out that the
Bell Company management takes the
position that it is impossible to ascer- j
tain by any known method of book
keeping just what are the profits in!
any one exchange in the State. The ]
reafton for this is that the toll and ex- i
change service are so closely Inter
related that it is impossible to sepa- 1
rate the costs of furnishing the ser
vice. Mr. Sylvan gave as an illus
tration that if the Public Service Com- I
. mission required the exact cost of op- '
erating a certain exchange, it would be
necessary to keep most elaborate
records showing just how much time
the various employes of that exchange
devoted to local work and how mucK i
to toll work. It would also be neces-'
jsary to pro-rate against that exchange!

Air. Sylvan described at length the
j agreements which the Bell Company
j have with independent companies pro-
I viding tor connections with the Bell
j system. He said that ten years ago
here were six different Bell companies
j m Pennsylvania and now there are but
■two, and for all practical purposes
jthey may be considered as one by rea
son of the fact that they are under the
i tame management. He pointed out
i the advantages of this arrangement in
; economy, one policy, and with develop
! P lent along the same line. He gave as
instances several cases where, under
the old arrangement, the rate was 25
j cents between two towns not a great
I distance apart, because it was neces
, sar.v to go a roundabout way for the
I two companies to make the connec

TELEPHONE STOCK
COM II [RING
Principle Laid Down by the Pub
lic Service Commission in
Somerset Complaint
The Public Service Commission has j
issued an order that the Economy
Telephone Stock Company shall make
no difference in the rates which it
charges stockholding and nonstock
holding subscribers or users of its
service, and that the practice of fur
nishing and maintaining telephone
service free at hotels and railway sta
tions must be discontinued. This de
cision, which establishes certain prin
ciples. was given in the complaint filed
with the commission by the Somerset
Telephone Company, in which it was
alleged that the Economy company
charged its patrons who held stock
$2 less per annum for service than it
did subscribers who are not stock
holders.
The respondent attempted to iustifv
its action on the ground that it builds
new lines and furnishes service in new
territory only after a subscriber takes
stock, and. therefore, such a conces
sion is found to be a necesary induce
ment in order that the business of the
[ company may be further developed
and extended. Tn other words, the
contention was that the stockholding
subscriber really builds the line, be
cause he furnishes money to pay for
the labor and material of erecting it,
and, consequently, because of the
larger risk taken by him he should
receive some consideration in the rates
he is charged.
This argument, the commission be
lieves, applies to any stock telephone
company and could be urged with
equal propriety as a sufficient reason
for making a difference in the rates
which any stock company charges its
patrons. In all incorporated telephone
■companies stock must be subscribed
before a line can be built or before
there can be any development of the
plant equipment, and whether the
money comes from a subscriber who
expects to use the service or from an
outsider does not change the status of
the company as a public service com
pany, required by law to furnish serv
ice at rates which shall not be unrea
sonable, discriminatory or make any
difference in the scope of its powers
under the law.
The commission holds that it is in
tended that the law shall apply in the
matter of rates for service rendered to
stockholders and nonstockholders with
out distinction, and, therefore, to
grant a lower rate to subscribers hold
ing stock than is granted to persons
not holding stock must be regarded as
a discrimination. Moreover, the effect
of granting special rates to stockhold
ing subscribers would lead to all kinds
of abuse in the matter of profits and
dividends stockholders might receive. ,
The policy of furnishing free service
at hotels and railroad stations is con
sidered a discrimination as against
other patrons and a violation of thcu
public service company law.

amount to thousands of dollars and
I that the city heretofore has not earned
a cent on the daily balances. He said
he believes the district should get
some return for this. His plan for
distributing the general and sinking
fund balances among all the city
banks, he said, is to base the amount
to be deposited on the proportionate
capital and surplus of the institution.
Mr. Kohl, the only director who dis
cussed the matter, said he didn't feel
that he as a director should be held
responsible for school funds if the
money was placed in a city bank that
might eventually fail. The fact that
he as a director was not bonded
offered no protection, he said. Mr.
Werner mentioned a section in the
school code to answer that and Secre
tary Hammelbaugh, without so much
as looking at the book, recited the sec
tion that provides that any depository
institution under the circumstances
shall file a surety bond.
Domestic Science This Fall
Following the defeat of the amend
ment by a vote of 6 to 2 the vote was
cast on the adoption of the report
and only Messrs. Yates and Werner
voted for it.
Domestic science will be taught this
Fall with the ingoing freshman class
of girls in the Central high school.
Directors Yates and Werner protested
against this. Both said they believed
the instruction should begin in the
grammar grades first. While the
special committee, of which Dr. Yates
was a member, visited Reading's do
mestic science room in the high school
the instructor told the city directors
that she considered even high school
freshmen much too young to undergo
instruction in home economics.
The new domestic science rooms
will be placed, it Is understood, in
the basement of the high school. The
special committee, consisting of Di
rectors Boyer, Yates and Kennedy,
was authorized to nsk for bids on sup
plies, quarters, furnishings, etc., for
the new department .
The resignations of Misses Margaret
Latham and Mary K. Blaikie as Cen
tral high school teachers and Charles
Yahn as a Technical high school in
structor were accepted and Miss Edna
Engle, Ruth Stewart and Russell A.
Hertzler were chosen respectively at
salaries of SI,OOO. S9OO and $750 to
fill these vacancies. Miss Elizabeth
Tittle was chosen assistant principal
at the Reily and Miss Laura Fritchey
was chosen a regular teacher without
assignment.
"Subs" Selected
Substitute teachers were chosen as
follows. Director Werner being ex
cused by President Boyer from voting

amount to $840.71.
