Kosh Sees Company
Entitled to Return
Of Only 5.6-5.7%

David A. Kosh. consultant re-
tanned by the District Public
Utilities Commission. today told
the commission the Potomac
Electric Power Co. should have
less of a rate increase than the
10 per cent boost it has re-
quested.
His testimony came as hear
ings resumed in the board room
of the District Building after
nearly a months recess.
Mr.. Kosh said the company
should be entitled to a return on
its net original investment in
property used to serve the public
Of between 5.6 and 81 per cent.
Company Seeks 6.25 Per Cent.
The company had asked the
utilities commission to grant
rates estimated to yield a return
Of 6.25 per cent.
The company asked for a rate
increase which would produce
$2,591 900 of additional annual
net income. plus $3,l94,000 to
cover additional taxes which
would have to be paid because
Of the increase. The total in
crease to the company's $4,000
customers would be $5.785.0 900
Mr.. Kosh attacked testimony
Of an earlier company witness.
DR.. Ralph E. Badger, a New York
and Detroit consultant, as
neither new nor valid" DR..
Badger had urged that Pepco
be allowed a return of nearly
10 per cent. -
Sees Less Risk Here.
Arguing that an electric util-
ity company suffers very little
from competition, Mr.. Kosh con-
tended that Washington is rel
atively depression-proof, thereby
lessening risks to investors in the
company.
He also contended that the
growth of per capita income in
the Washington area has been
lower than in other States.
Comparing Pepco with seven
other companies. Mr.. Kosh con-
tended the Washington company
is, at least as good" an invest
ment opportunity.
