Supreme Court of Minnesota July 24, 1925, No. 24,665. (In Re Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.)

Taylor, C.

In July, 1922, respondent telephone company made an application to the Railroad and Warehouse Commission to increase its rates for telephone exchange service in the city of Duluth on the ground that the rates then in force did not yield a fair return upon the value of the property used in rendering such service and were confiscatory.
