The date of the hearing was tentatively set by the commission today. The Indiana Tien Telephone Company, in a petition filed with the public service commission relative to the purchase of the Central Union's properties in the state, with the exception of certain property at Terre Haute, set forth that it proposed to pay for the physical properlea of the Central Union $17,-150.700. plua the cost of all net additions since October 31. 1919, and to take the property subject to the lien of $549,300 oatstanding and secured by mortgage on part of the property, the total of the two Items being $18,000,000. DOES NOT COMMIT BELE OX SIS,OOO,©OO. In approving the sale of the property of the Central Tnlon Telephone Company to the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, however, the public service commission refrained from committing itself relative to that $18,000,000, and stated that In approving the terms that had been agreed upon by the two telephone companies as representing for tiie purposes of thla canse the fair and reasonab'e value of the property, the commission did not In any way bind itself to approve the method by which the consideration was calculated or agreed upon, or to recognize such consideration as the value of the property In any rate case • any other proceeding affecting the public interest, nor should such consideration be binding upon the Indian! Bell Telephone Company In any subsequent proceedings before tbe commission in which the value of the property In question may become material. In the opinion and order of the public service commission fixing rates for the Central T'nion Telephone Company at axchangas in Indiana, approved Feb. 9, 1920. the following tentative estimates were placed upon the property of the Central Union Telephone Company In Indiana: Indiana toll system. $8,551,316: Alexandria, $47,231: Bedford. $157,698; Bloomington. $218329; Bogg3town, $11,035; Brooklyn. $15,385; Bunker Hill. $20,423; Culver. $40,096; Elwood. $176,457; Fair land, $7,434; French Lick. $20,496; Gas City, $34,416; Greenwood. $45,318; Washington, $298,652; Vorkrowo. $202115; Indianapolis. $6,409,657; Anderson, $438,196; Auburn, $114,797; Crawfordsville. $319,196: Frankfort. $197,708; Kendallrille. $120,773; Mishawaka, $291,983; Muncie. $654-234 ; Peru. $313.9971 Shelbyville $163 - 137; South Bend. $1,506,429; Vincennes.

In this same opinion and order of the commission it was stated, under the head of “finding of tentative values.' that “by reason of the inability of the staff to make complete appraisals of all of the petitioner's property, thus a 1 fording more complete evidence, and the necessity of early hearings, several cities were prevented from making desired investigations as to values. “The commission believes, therefore, that It Is unwise In these cases finally to fix the value of petitioner’s property. “It will be understood, therefore, that in each of the casee now under consideration, the commission will fix tentative values, which will be used only for the purpose of the particular- cases now before the comnrlseton. “The tentative values used, although $42)00,000 less than claimed by petitioner, are liberal. A Hat was then given. In the report, of the tentative estimates of the company's property value in the various cities end towns, as already set forth, and it was added that “these values are not to be considered as permanently fixed,” The final finding of the fair value of thpse properties. It was explained, was continued for further and future consideration. It further was explained that the valuations as to Granger. Lewirrtlie. Manilla. New ChrKsle. Osceola. Rome Oty. Cumberland end Smith Valley were estimated —that there had ben no appraisals by company or commission.
