Increase from sl2 to sls in unlimited 'business service ami increases in measured business, measured rural and suburban business, and private branch exchanges in Indianapolis are asked in the petition. Indianapolis residential rates remain unchanged. General increases are asked for other excharges over the State. “The Constitution of the United States insures a reasonable return on the fair value of the property used in service of the public.

Some court have held fair valuo should be measured largely by the investment in the property,” Gronlnger said. Rates Vary “Rates vary from 8 to 8 per cent. The most recent decision was that of the three-judge-court in the United States District Court of Maryland, in February, which 'THE FOUNDATION OF HIS HEALTH" Among the thousands who have publicly expressed Indebtedness to Tanlac for normal weight, health and strength, is A.
