To Revise Financing at
Virginia Rate Hearinq
BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 1S.-7he
State Corporation Commissions
chief accountant yesterday i'm
piled strongly that the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. should
increase earnings by revising its
capital structure instead Of by In
|creasing its rates.
The accountant, Charles C.
Drunmond, said that under the
present capital structure the c. &
P. is paying more than its share
to its parent company, the Amer.
lean Telephone 81 Telegraph Co
Specifically. he recommended
the Virginia company get more
of its money by issuing bonds al
|3 per cent interest and less BY
selling common stock bearing an
g per cent interest rate to the
A. T, & T.
General Rise Sought.
Mr.. Drummond testified for the
commissions accounting division
in a continuation Of the hearing
on the Chesapeake & Potomac S
request for a $3,900,000 general
rate increase.
The company should increase
the amount of its capital in
per cent bonds from the present
18 per cent to so per cent, Mr..
Drummond said. If this were done
he continued. the company would
require as a conservative" maxi
mum a rate of return of only 5h
per cent on total capital invested,
instead of the 6la per cent re-
quested via the rate increase.
The c. g. P. Mr.. Drunmond tes-
tilted. has shown a smaller f1uc-
tuation of earnings over the past
"a years than the AT&T, the Vir-
ginia Electric Power Co., or the
Appalachian Electric 81 Power Co.
Might Ask Further Boost.
On the other hand, he said, all
three. of these companies have
shown a higher average return
on capital invested. All three, he
declared, have a much higher long
term debt ratio than has the
Virginia telephone company.
On cross examination q COM
pany witness stated the utility
firm might have to ask for a rate
increase on coin boxes within 1s
months, even if the commission
granted the proposed general rate
increases.
Arthur Harrison. a c. 81 p. vice
president, testified the company
was holding in reserve a rate
jump from cents to 10 cents
on calls from telephone booths.
He said the company estimates
that such an increase would bring
in 100000 to 100000 a year,
which might avoid a future effort
for still another general increase.

Seward seaport record. (Seward, Alaska) 1948-195?, 1950-07-14
Editorial . . .

Tony Schwamm failed last
night to explain away his failure
to comply with the promises
of his office and that of the
Governors to construct the Sew
ard airport during the present
building season. His excuses, al
though plausible to some extent
were nothing more than excuses
and some of them seemed very
weak. The fact that although
at the beginning of the year
Seward was well to the top Of
the list of priorities, nothing has
been done, and apparently no
notice taken of the situation
here until his hand was forced
by the people going over his
head to the Governors office,
was not explained to the salts
faction of those present.
HE HAS BEEN BUSY, which
is commendable. That he was
not too busy, however, to pro-
coed with the business in hand
for every other location in the
Territory except Seward did
not appeal to the sympathies of
Sewardites.
Another point he brought out,
namely that the plans and appli-
cations have to be certified and
passed upon by the CAB and
other federal planning and aid
agencies, all of which are time
consuming, sounded all right,
because we are used to the de-
lays pursuant to such applica-
tons. He laid himself open, how
ever, to criticism when he made
the statement that he has pro-
ceeded with the work on the
other projects without waiting
for federal aid, but on the sup
position that it will be forth
coming. Seward, however, can
not be constructed under any
such plan, but must go through

the mill.

the mill.
Of course, no one in Seward,
MIR. SchWamm implied, could
be so selfish as to deny the emer-
pency needs of Ninilchik, where
two planes day land on the
beach to carry mail and succor
to the many people there, and
TO the vast populace OF Dilling-
ham where there are AZ home
based planes and no airport.
And he is quite right! Seward
would not deny those rights to
any community.
THE UNDENIED FACT that
an airport in Seward, the port
of entry to the Interior, and a
runway large enough to accom-
modate the Dos planes, permit
ting the transportation of perish
able goods, thousands Of tour
lists per year, a lowering OF the
cost and time of transportation
of airfreight to the cities of the
Interior, must not be allowed to
interfere with the construction
of fields inland, and the opening
up of those lands to develop
ment. 1t should not interfere,
but on the other hand, it should
not have been delayed either.
WE ALSO FAIL to see how
the legal ENHANCEMENT, that IS,
the easements issued upon the
same land, by the same people,
for the same reason, should
prove to be the insurmountable
obstacle that it appears to Mr.
Schwamm who admits that he
has no legal knowledge, is only
an "airplane driver in his own
words.
WE WILL HAVE THE AIR
PORT next year according
to Mr.. Schwamm. The next
year" is our own Interpretation
of the promise as given last
night, and we hope that we are
right.

Shocking! Yes, just as shocking
as the story of a few years ago
that money and influence obtained

To the informed Catholic such &C

the natural law on gravitation.
Let us explain. There are GER
tain laws enacted for the spiritual
benefit of the Faithful For in
stance, the lay of abstaining from
meat on Fridays. The Church
made this law. 1t can, for cause,
dispense anyone from its observ-
ance.
There are other laws which God
made for all men for all ages. For

words of Jesus Christ, who is Cod:
What therefore God has joined

Pope has right or power to dis
pense anyone from the observance
Of this law, or to change it, or to
nullify it. In fact, the Church has
the duty to guard and enforce this
law at any cost.

ment (properly called "a decree of
nullity) has been granted. it
means simply this: that after +ex-

BY Mildred Kirkpatrick

1t is very seldom, if ever,
that the governor of any state
takes the trouble to visit all
the small communities under
his governing hand. 1t is true
that Alaska, although larger
than any state, has fewer in
corporated communities, blu
they are widely scattered.
Seward is off the main line
of travel, costing five or six
hours of tedious travel to reach.
The Governor has not been in
Seward for several years now,
but when we called upon him
for assistance in our problem,
he did take the time to pay us
real visit, and it is greatly
appreciated here.
The words of encouragement
from the Governor last night
and today, the commentator
for past industry and the cour-
age of the people during the
growth under strain for ten
years, go a long way toward
making up for any feeling Of
neglect.
That he is not in a position
to categorically order the inn
provements we want or the as
sistance we desire, does not de-
tract from the cheer and the
encouragement he leaves with
us.
He has put an end to the
delay on the airport, and al
though it is too late for this
season, it seems sure thing for
next year, on the word of Cover
nor Gruening. And taking his
word for it, we will wait and
control our patience on the mat
ter.
He could make no other prom
Uses: lacking statehood. our Gov
ernor also lacks authority. His
opinion on the disposition of the
railroad, was to the effect that
closing of the Seward link
would not be militarily sensible
nor economically sound, and
that he will continue to main
tain his already stated support
along that line.
The feeling as expressed by
those present at the public meet
ing is that the Governor has not
forgotten Seward, but is and
will remain an impartial friend
to Seward and all the rest of
Alaskan communities.
We thank the Governor and
his Lady for their visit, and
hope that they will return
again and often in the future.
