The Issue arose after the car called s. J. Liddy assistant comp troller As a witness in rebuttal to provincial arguments against the rate base. Or. Liddy s exhibits the 159th and 160th in the current Case included new evidence which or. O Brien said would prove the car s need for immediate re Lief in the form of another freight rate increase. M. A. Macpherson Saskatchewan counsel backed by other Western and maritime counsel objected to the submission of new material without notice. Sustains objections the chief commissioner sustained he provincial objections noting hat the car was introducing new material without notice and with out leave the Board.

Macpherson wanted what the car meant by substantive did it mean a nine Pel cent freight rate he noted that in the original application the company had calculated that the eight and nine per cent applications would bring it a five per cent return on its net in vestment. Five per cent would now require a rate increase of 18.4 per cent. Loose terms did the car want percent for a five per cent return or die it want the 6.5 per cent return i had applied for or. Macpherson objected to the Loose terms being tossed about by company counsel he added that the railways hat not even made Clear whether or not the Canadian National supported the application. The car had joined in. The eight and nine per cent parts of the application first and second but had wavered on the third saying it neither supported nor opposed the principle of a car rate base and rate of return. Or. Liddy then submitted exhibits showing that Canadian Pacific s permissive return in 1952, was 4.07 per cent. He calculated this by using the figure mentioned by the Board a year ago As an Advance estimate of the car s 1952 net on rail operations and applying this As a percentage of the company s figure for its net investment at Jan. 1, Telephone boosts this or. Liddy said compared with 6.2 per cent which the Board had allowed the Bell Telephone company and 6.61 per cent which it Hud allowed the British Columbia Telephone company both of which Are under transport Board Juris diction or. Liddy a so estimated that the car s permissive net return in 1953 would be 3.95 per cent calculating the which company counsel argue was the be income guaranteed them by the Board As a percentage of the company s estimate its net investment at Jan. 1, 1953 g f. Buckingham the car general traffic manager then submitted estimates of the increase in Eastern competitive and inter National rates in the past five years. Since 1948, when the first o the Post War increases went it effect general freight rates mos of them in Western Canada and the maritime have risen 85 per cent or. Buckingham said Ontario Quebec competitive pickup and de livery rates and trans continent competitive rates during the Sam period which accounted for a least half the company s Revenue from ail competitive traffic a both risen substantially random list he submitted a random Lis which showed increases from 79. Per cent to 117.3 per cent in the Ontario Quebec a. And toll and from 76.7 to 16s.5 per cent on return principle he said was that it bore scant relation to the econ Omic conditions facing carriers at the time and since. In practical fact freight rates could not be forced above value of service without losing traffic to competitive forms of transportation. The concept of fair return in fair value he added became irrelevant under such circumstances. The principle became even More unrealistic. Or. William said with the gradual disappearance of rail Way monopolies and the growth of trucking in the . Co Flint Cope the fixed rate of return Prin Isle was Fine for regulating upper limits of earnings for local monopoly utilities such As Gas and electricity companies but it could not Cope with an Industry facing steadily growing Competition from other forms of transportation. Fair return on fair value or. Williams said could be a Factor in setting freight rates but it was not of the Paramount importance sought by the car. Inability of a railway to earn the established rate of return made the principle of Little value unless the Oard wished to disregard compete Jon to let non competitive parts of the country carry the Burden my to assume that the railways lad a permanent vested right to he return regardless of technical advances in competitive industries.

Williams of Columbia University warn against the use of rigid formulas in rate making. Or. Williams said it was wholly impossible to set freight rates each year to yield any Given annual return to a company. I Short lived trial since its Short lived and unsuccessful Experiment with a fixed return in 1920-22, the . Inter state Commerce commission had re fused to be governed by a formula and had reverted to the pragmatic method of rate making. A formula was of scant Assis Tance in setting rates for what Hac become a competitive and unstable Industry. Or. Williams also cited the principles of competitive rates employed by the inc. The commission requires carriers if they meet Competition with lower rates in one area to meet it with the same rates in other areas where it exists in like kind and the inc in other words for bids . Railways to discriminate in meeting Competition. The inc also requires that competitive rates be compensatory. They must not be less than Cost of service. Finally or. Williams said the lean Timiteo Portage at Hargrave inc does not permit railroads to make up their lower return on competitive business by seeking higher returns on non competitive traffic. Earlier or. Williams told the Board that the rate base and rate of return principle sought by the Canadian Pacific railway would Lead it into added difficulty and embarrassment in future proceed Ings.
