PSC CONSIDERS

RATE QUESTION

Hearing on Emergency Cut

Is Concluded.

By ROBERT BLOEM The Indiana Public Service Commission’ today studied evidence pre sented in a two-day hearing to determine whether or not an emergency exists under ,k which local street-car, bus and trolley fares should ‘be cut. . Hearings on the matter ended yesterday afternoon and members of the commission indicated a decision would be announced within a few days, Only two witnesses were heard In the case—Allen D. Fisk, chief aecountant of the PSC, and Dr. Lawrence 8. Knappen, chief economist of the OPA's utilities branch in Washington. Attorneys for Indianapolis Railways, Inc, contending hearing on the emergency question was prejudicial to their interests in their own petition to have present rates made permanent, declined to offer testimony or to cross-examine witnesses who appeared for the: public, Forecasis increased Froiii Mr. Fish told the commission from the stand that on the basis of pure ly mathematical ealculations the company stood to make as much as "30" per “cent profit in -1946- under current rates. This estimate, he said, was based on an assumption that revgnues would be approximately what they were in 1944 but took into consideration both inereased profits and a decline in the number of riders during the recent rate trial period.
