On Jan. 1, 1937 the FCC . substituted, its own system of. accounts for that of the ICC., It is the. contention of the Telephone company that" its" accouning for the purchases in question was in strict accordance with the system of accounts of the ICC' in effect at the time of the purchases. It further contends that, the, prices paid for the property were faiv and reasonable and were so determined by the Federal Court in New York in 1929; When the Court included this property .at. the. prices paid, in its valuation of the company's plant for rate purposes.* Most of the property involved in the purchases has been retired from service.. 11 ' ' • •" : -Further action by the company will be determined at a later date.- ; *23'.last ••■;.

While some terminations, involving in most ca-cs forward commitments, have been received, the present volume of production is not appreciably changed.
