Wages and All Material Costs Have Gone Up
The cost of almost everything that goes to make good telephone service has gone way up in cost. Since 1941 the payroll expense of this company, which makes up 64% of our total costs, has increased 196%. Material costs in genéral are way up. Here are a few examples of how prices have jumped. The cost of poles has doubled since before the war. Lead also costs twice as much. The price of copper is up over 60%. And installers’ trucks cost almost 60% more. Many other items could be listed. One of the biggest increases has been about : 75% to 100% in the cost of new buildings and in

years ago.
T. Indiana Bell Telephone Company has filed an application for an increase in telephone rates. This is an important step for us and we would like our customers to know the reasons for it. We'd like you to look at it as if you were running
business.
Suppose You Were Running the Telephone Business
You'd try to conduct it honestly, render good gervice, pay good wages and make a reasonable
That’s the way you'd try to do it but there would be one thing you'd have to ask of your customers. You'd have to get a fair price for what
That might change a little: from time to time. Jf most costs went up, your price would have to go up too. When earnings are more than requirements, the excess ought to be spent for enlargement or improvement of the service — or the price
That's the way we look at it in the Indiana Bell Telephone Company. We've made 12 reduc{ions in Long Distance rates in the last twenty years and made the telephone more useful and of
to more people.
This is oné of the very few times when we have come to you and asked for an upward adjustment - in rates. The last time there was an increase in local telephone rates in Indiana was twenty
additions to present buildings. If you have bought a house or tried to have one built recently you know just how high building costs have gone. When we go out to buy anything we have the _ same problems you have.
Cost of Doing Business Has Gone Up Faster Than Our Income
Company earnings right now are inadequate because our cost of doing business has gone up faster than our income. To illustrate what we mean, let’s go back before the war to 1941 and compare our income, costs and earnings of that year with the present. Based on actual figures for five months, beginning in July of this year, company income is up 71% over 1941, while costs are up 95%. Company earnings are down 38%. Earnings are now at a lower rate than in the worst years of the depression, back in the Thirties. What makes these low earnings all the more significant is that they have come at a time when the volume of telephone business has been breaking all records. There seems to be no way of getting away from the hard fact that it is costing more money to give you good service, and that we must increase our revenues. We do not ask that earnings be high—only that they be enough to enable us to do the job.
A $50,000,000 Program Further fo Extend and Improve Telephone Service
The Indiana Bell Telephone Company has every faith in the future of this state and it is
..
planning to spend $50,000,000 during the next three years. . : The people of Indiana are constantly needing more and better telephone service. Even though we have added 60,000 telephones this year, about 30,000 people in Indiana Bell territory are waiting for telephones. That's because’ building and expansion were held up during the war and have been slowed up since by shortages. Many improvements are at hand that will make your own service far better than it has ever been before—as soon as equipment can be made and installed. In order to carry out this big program, your telephone company must be able to earn enough to make thousands of men and women of average means want to invest their savings in the business.
Reasonable Telephone Earnings Important to Everybody
It’s good to remember that the supply of money is not inexhaustible and no business has a monopoly on it. It flows to the companies that offer continuing safety and a reasonable return. It is important, therefore, to everybody who uses the telephone—to every. one who works for it—and to everybody who invests in it—that | earnings be on a fair basis and in line with the service rendered and the job to be done. x We want you to know that we ask for this rate increase reluctantly and only after increasing costs have made it necessary. : The fact that we have been able to absorb these higher costs without an increase in rates for so many years is in itself a remarkable achievement. It shows how the policy of the “best possible telephone service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety” has been carried out in practice. The people of this city have always been fair to the telephone company and we believe you will understand the reasons for this request for increased rates. ; If you were running the telephone business, we believe you would say that it is a reasonable request at this time.
