C. & P. Seeks Rate
Increase To Yield
Extra S3,6OO,OO0

With it's earnings declining
rapidly and expenses at an all-time
high, the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company of Baltimore
City has filed an application with
the Public Service Commission for.
an increase in telephone rates.
w. G. Morrel, C. and P. vice
president and general manager,
declared that while the company
has not completed it's studies, it
was estimated rate relief produc-
ing approximately $3,600,O0O in
additional annual net revenue,
after taxes, would be required to
place the company on financially
sound basis and to permit it to
furnish adequate telephone service
to the public in Maryland.
The company, which in 1947 was
granted its first general rate in
crease in 21 years, reported cur
rent operating expenses, including
wage costs comprising the largest
item of expense, are the highest in
history. Recent wage increases to
employees have again added sub
stantially to the company's already
high costs of doing business. Con-
struction costs, it was pointed out,
continue at record levels.
The company's application
brought out that rate relief grant
ed last year was Substantially less
than necessary to restore and
maintain the company's earnings
at an adequate level"
The petition noted that the >im-
pact of the company's unprecedent-
ed construction program has ma
terially and adversely affected
earnings, with the continued pub
lie demand for telephone service
since January l, 1947 compelling
the company to make plant addi-
tions totaling $49,000,000.
Additions are now being made,
the petition set forth, at current
cost levels of more than $500 per
telephone added or more than

5 years, which the local mem
bers indicated they favored.
