alleging further evideace to support
ths issue.
Allegation is msde that the" corpora'
tion's constitutional rights to a legiti
mate laeome - nave beea disregarded
that property value upoa which tbe
Commission based the ordered rate
too low; that the Commission was i
srror ia finding that the eompany
were exces
sive; ss also its findings thst ths re
serve for depreciation, and the division
of tolls between the petitioner nnd
ita parent company, the American Tele.
phone and Telegraph Company, were
out or proportion.
Weald Offer Evidence.
In support of these allegations, the
eompsny would offer proof to aupport
tne following general proposition.-
''(a) The value of ite exchange and
toll property within the State of North
Carolina exclusively used ia furnishing
teiepnone service witaia the aaid State
of North Carolina.
"(b) .The expense of maintaining and
property exeluaivelv
within the BUM of North Carolina.
'(e) Tha grots and net revenue re
served by petitioner In operating aaid
property exclusively within the State of
North Carolina.
"(d) Tho value of its exchange prop
erty, the expense of operating aad
maintain lag same, and the gros aaj
net revenue derived therefrom in fur
nishing exclusive exchsnge service ex
clusively within the State of North
Carolina.
"'(e) The petitioner's sxpente for re
pairs fn 1920 were as low aa they could
safely, be made, and that since 1920
petitioner hss not beea able to make
aay material reduction in same, nor
is It probable that any material rcdue
tioa esa be msds ia,such expense ia
the near future.
"(f) Thst after the foregoing facts
aro established by sufficient and com'
potent proof, the question of the di
vision of tolls, esrned and reeeivel
ia connection with the operations of
the lines of the American Telephono
