Phone Company Presents Case on Rates and County Right

In a continuation from page 1, Ohio and several towns including Sheffield Tiskilwa Spring Valley Ladd Walnut and Manlius were discussed as Manlius is not affected by the raise. Statistics show the local company charges less than peers in similar-sized communities in the state. The examiner was asked about the County Right and its status remains before the commission. The order abolishing the County Right was nullified but still under review. Berry asked for separate consideration of the rate case and the County Right case. Skinner noted the County Right was declared discriminatory based on Sapp testimony, while company directors and stockholders opposed abolishing it. Sapp urged the change.

County Phone Rates Hearings Spark Debate on Public Right

The county hearing examines the so called county right, its non discriminatory status, and the request for increased rates. Opponents argue subscribers already subsidize a $480000 plant with $130000 in reserves while advocates say the mutual company must get a fair return. Testimony details inventories, valuation figures, and projected cost increases for 1917 through 1919 with experts noting depreciation and salary rises.
