Village Of Kinder vs. Charles F. Howell. 6 La. R. C. R. 58. No. 481.

Petition filed September 29, 1904. Hearing at New Orleans, October 7, 1904.

It appears that Charles F. Howell, defendant in this case, operates a telephone exchange at Kinder, La., and charges subscribers five dollars per month for the service, which includes connections and service with all subscribers to the Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Company's system at Lake Charles, La., a distance of some thirty miles. It also appears that the village of Kinder contains but a few hundred people, and that the defendant has but nine subscribers there.

The Commission considers the charge made by defendant reasonable for the service rendered, and does not believe that the local service would be compensatory at any reduction in the rates, as, deprived of the Lake Charles connections, the service would be practically valueless. It is therefore,

Ordered, That the petition be denied and the case is dismissed.

Order No. 1410. Citizens of Kinder vs. No. 1650.
