THINK TELEPHONE SURVEY LIKELY TO COT MIES Service Commission Members Believe Reopening of Bell Cases May Benefit Public. AUDIT WORK STARTED Overhead Expense Cited as Excessive—Reduction Will Be Sought if Justified. Ratos of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company throughout the State will be decreased after the public service commission has made its investigation under the rescinding order which reopened all pending cases, it was said today. The investigation may continue six months before the commission is able to get a complete audit of the company’s business. Determining Valuation The commission has been at work on a valuation of the Bell Telephone Company’s property and this will be speeded up now that the commission has decided to go thoroughly into the operation of the company. Not only will the company’s holdings be valued, but a complete audit of the company’s operating expense, both direct and indirect, will be made to determine the operating profit-or-loss of the Statewide system. Members of the commission said they were not informed as to whether th injunction suit pending in Federal Court in which the Telephone Company asked that the commission be restrained from preventing a rate increase in the Indianapolis area will be dismissed. See Expenses Heavy Members of the commission concur in the belief that the operating expenses of the company have been excessive. Comparison of rates In :ities In which individually owned utilities are operating has supported the belief of the commission that the Bell system was laboring under excessive overhead that could be diminished without Impairment of service. One member of the commission stated that if the investigation showed that the rates were excessive no effort would be spared to have a reduction enforced, even if the ease were carried to the "highest courts of the Nation."
