Telephone Company Must Reduce Rates
The Board of Public Utility Commissioners orders New York Telephone Company to file within sixty days a report showing a revenue reduction to not less than 800000 annually. It also holds that Delaware and Atlantic Telegraph and Telephone Company rates are not excessive and need not be altered. The decisions follow a rate reasonableness inquiry using expert testimony, with property values set and net earnings recalculated. The New York company’s property valued around 20000000 and 1916 net earnings about 3940252. The board proposes net revenue be reduced to 300000 with eight percent return on 30000000 of property. The Delaware and Atlantic company shows 1916 net revenue of 806 and no rate cut required.
