In the Minot case the commission holds that the services were not reflected in re- duced rates or more efficient service and says it will consider the seryces i experien- rendered by the Byllesby. corporation voluntary contributions justified by reason. of its stock ownership and. con- Tok. % In fixing the amount allowed for depreciation the commission held 4 ber cent of depreciable electric and [steam ‘property and 51-2 per cent of. depreciable telephone propérty of the jutility should be allowed to be taken ;care of in the rate charges, | With regard to the method of val- jual , Which also has been e debatable question, the commission says it has jadhgred to the historical original cost |plan, valuing the iplant at the actual jcest at time of installation, or when tained to strike an average over a ton-year peried.
