Taxes Drive Mountain States Telephone Costs in Arizona Rate Hearings
In Phoenix the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co faces a rate rehearing as taxes paid through subscribers’ bills account for a large share of rising operating costs. State property tax totals about 278 719 dollars this year and federal income tax around 152 000 dollars, with higher tax projections if rates rise. The company argues revenue forecasts vary with dates, seasons, and growth, while the attorney general questions the calculations and capitalization of construction costs. Despite tax and investment figures, the commission notes service delays with thousands of unfilled orders, as the company notes substantial increases in subscribers and capital since 1946.
