Pepco Cuts Plans Pending Rate Case Decision

came effective in April. 1851. The
money covers the period to De-
cember 81, 1858. This sum has
not been placed in escrow or q
special account, however, the
official pointed out, but is viewed
as a liability Of the company
should the rate case eventually
go against it. This money is in
litigation because the April,
1851, rate increase has been
challenged in the courts.
Due to the uncertain financial
condition, Pepco has postponed
completion of the fourth gen.
Grating unit at the Potomac
River plant at Alexandria. Va.
from 1855 to 1856. But the
company spokesman emphasized
there will be no interruption to
service and that the deferred
construction items will be re-
stored, when the time is oppor-
tune.
The PUG granted Pepco an
annual increase of about $40
million on its plea Il needed
higher rates to earn a proper
return on its investment.

that due to inadequate wiring,

A stable portion of room air
