Groninger also developed (rom the witness tat three, different methods of arriving at going; value have been used the telephone company engineers in ine tnree rate cases of 1118. and 1924 25. The witness testified that in tha 1923 hearing going value waa dtstermihed by assuming 29 per cent, of the reproduction cost the physical property which it was contended was I7.SSS.277. and that in the present rasa the companv contends that the going value aggregate ia IS.829.0S2. although a higher fair value is claimed.

the item ha had not con aidered the actual financial histdrv of the company, but that he had con sidered the records and past experi ence si a guiae. 7 At Lawer Flgare. Mr. Groninger also brought out the statement that several proper ties that were Included in the rate baseqf the. companjf at a high figure had since that rtime been sold at a much less figure.

Among these properties were the Kalem ex change which at that time on the basis of the reproduction cosV de preciated with going values was estimated: by the company at 120,361 and was sold for 7.500; the Cory don exchange, which on the same basis waa valued at that time at $4,972.90 and later sold for $100, the Lamar exchange which waa then valued on that basis at J6.3H.J5 and later sold for and the Henry vi lie exchange which was valued at $10,045.11 ar.d sold for $1,000. The purpose of the evidence wa to show the inflated values used by the telephone company engineer when estimating a fair value for rata making purposes. On the iqueftlon of figuring over heed, value Halstead said he had estimated deficits dur ing the assumed time it would take to reproduce the riant at per'ce nt Tneee assumed deficits are from in Sufficiency of earnings On the subject of structural over heads. Mr. Halstead saH be had tn eluded 3 per cent, in this estimate to taka cira of Items that have might have been left out of the inventory.

On the five year average ecst basis Halstead gave an estimate of J4M1M71.IS. and an estimate on the present deteriorated, of Jt3.43S.325 34. This five year average is aa cf 1 510 1J14, inclusive. These figures are on the assumption that th price, for land and building Is that agreed to for tea inquiry. What was regarded as a thrut at the recent Maryland feceral court telephone decision where commodity i price indices were, con.

During Groninger' cross examination Halstead said that he believed the fair value which ha gave was an engineer's figure and that the coragany is, entitled to earn on its true value, "Since 1920 how much has this company spent in gross additions?" CQ'0, bave heard fixed at $17,000, "That Is approximately half of tha book coat?" ''And yet yotir fair value Is approximately $10,000,000 higher than that book cost? Halstead then gave answers to the effect that in determing the question of value the fact that the concern was devoted to a public use was not and, he made a similar conclusion on tha fact of tuV.

"Well, at any rate, the value which you present her today Is J21.OAO.000 higher than the one you urged on the tag board, Is it not?" urged that In comparison to other companies our company was getting the worst of 1t." "Mr. Halstead, do you think that a company with the earnings your company has Is entitled to the fair value of $4 5.0&o.00?" "Yea, it cost that much to reproduce It. "Mr, Halstead, could you sell this property for 15,000.

Commissioner Artman said that earnings on the capital atock were considered in the tax cae to de termine tha tax value and that for that reason the question couid be asked. Halstead said he could sell the property under tha assumption that the rerulatory authorities would permit the. concern to make an adequate return.
