I was brought out at the final argument

in the rate hearing on a petition by the company for an increase in rates before the Indiana Public Service commission in Indianapolis Monday. Increased prices and numerous improvements were outlined by the company's attorneys and accountants to show that the value of the equipment and real estate had been greatly enlarged, it was stated. The company is petitioning for a revaluation of the plant to allow an increase in rates to insure a larger return on their Investment in the next year. Benjamin Perk, city accountant, contended that certain deductions should be made from the company's reports which would bring their valuation to $535,000. The income from last year would show, according to this, about a seven percent return on the investment. The company held that their return was about four percent. The decision of the commission Is expected before the end of this month. If an increase should be made it probably would go into effect the first of the year.
