FRIZZIE LUMBER CO, IAN VALLEY LIGHT & POWER PHONE COMPANY MAKES SECOND REOUEST FOR INTERIM INCREASE The Citizens TYtilities Company of California filed a second sup- plemental application with the California Public Utilities Com- mission last Friday July 6 for in- terim increases in telephone toll and exchange rates in qertaln areas of its operation. T. H. Un- derwood, General Manager of tele- phone operations for Citizen., points out that the increases re- qltested r not y:tem wide. Th nroposed interim rates, he states. affect the Rio Vista. Elk Grnve and F'erndale exchanges and the smaller dial exchanges in the Susanville division. Burney, Mont- gomery Creek, Bieber, Fall Rivel, Mills, Greenville and other man- ually operated exchanges and also including the larger dial exchanges such as Alturas and Susanville, are not affected by this applica- tion. The toll service terminal charge now in effect in the Susanville division only, that is, all of the Northern California areas, woukl be extended to cover the remain- ing areas of the company accord- ing to the application just filed. According to Underwood, auto- matic dial exchanges have been constructed and placed in opera- tion at Mineral and Taylorsville during 1951. Engineering plana are being made for improvementa to outside plants in Elk Grove and Ferndale as Well as for improve- ments to toll circuits fr)m Susan- ville westward to Chester and Westwood southward to Greenville. This year, according to Under- wood, considerable money has been spent and construction work in progress at the end of May 1951 amounted to $400,198.00 of which $245,468.00 has been expended dur- ing 1951• Underwood reports that the Public Utilities Commission re- cently awarded the Associated Telephone Company, of Southern California, a revenue increase to provide them a rate of return of 6.1 percent. The Associated Tele- phone Company is very much larger than the Citizens Utilities Company of California and oper- ates in a concentrated population area. Because of its very low den- sity of papulation Citizens Utilities Company of California requires t higher rate of return than that of the larger Associated Telephone Company, however, the rate of re- turn granted Citizens in its earlier decision only provided t rate of return of 4.6 percent, ac- cording to Underwood. Under- wood advises that what his com- pany is asking for is an increase on toll and exchange rates to give them $64.500.00 additional revenue each year. Of this amount, how- ever, Fede[ul Income Tax will take about one-half of thc amox.t leaving Citizens Utilities with onlv some $32.000.00.
