Levy Defeated

An official bid call scheduled
for Tuesday, May z, for the fin
ishing and furnishing of six ell
ementary classrooms is being adj
vertised in the Sidney Herald,
beginning this week, by the Sid
ney Board of School Trustees.
This is the result of the 1874 to
30 votes in favor of a special levy
to finance the project.
Final returns from the Sidney
high school district reveal that
the proposed special levy to en-
large and furnish the Sidney
High School vocational agricul-
ture building failed of passage
by ii votes. This means that en-
rollment in agriculture at Sid
ney high school will have to be
strictly limited until such time as
added room is available. Had the
levy passed, the expanded room
would have been available this
September.

Sidney Trackmen
Trounce Dawson
Meet Clendive

The Sidney Eagle tracksters
with one victory already estab-
lished will travel to Glendive
Monday for an invitational meet
at the Dawson County School. AL
though the number of track
cams entered is unknown,
a good representation from east
ern Montana is expected. This
will be the second official meet
of the season for the locals.
Last Saturday under near per-
feet weather conditions Sidney
easily defeated Glendive in a
dual meet 91-57. Only a slightly
chilly As degrees prevented this
from being a perfect track day.
In a dual between the fresh
men from the two schools Sidney
scored AZ points to Dawson's 10
in six events.
In the varsity track and field
events the locals grabbed ii firsts
to Dawson's three. The Glendive
trackmen failed to win a run
ming event.
Fifteen Sidney competitors en-
tered the scoring column with
sprinter Doyle Dotson leading
the way. Doyle was high point
man for the meet taking first in
the 100, 220 and 440, running
on the winning relay team and
placing fourth in the broad
jump for a total Of 17h points.
Tom Quilting contributed 11h
points, Bob Potts 10h and John
Marman and Jack Marion 10
each as both won two first places.
For the Red Devils who were
never a threat, senior Ed
Schlauch was high man with 13
points.
Winning times, heights and dis
tances were especially good for
this early point in the season,
Particularly promising was the
showing of Dotson in the 100 and
220 yard dashes. These events
were picked as possible weak
spots by the Sidney coaches in
preseason predictions.
The potential power of the Sid
ney club will be better tested
however, next Monday, as ad-
ditional schools will be compel
ing with the local trackmen.

MDUiitiesFl Files
For
Rate Increase

Montana-Dakota Utilities Co.
announced today that an applica.
ton requesting an increase in it:
residential and commercial cleo.
tric rate schedule has been filed
with the Montana Public Service
Commission. In a letter addressed
to the Public Service Commission,
MDU President, Cecil w. Smith,
said that the rate of return on
INDUS electric property has been
declining for the past three years
and for 1856 was less than five
percent. He pointed out that this
is below the minimum rate OF re-
turn considered by regulatory
bodies as reasonable. Smith cited
greatly increased costs of con-
struction, materials, labor and tax
IS as the major factors responsible
for the decline in the rate of re-
turn on INDUS electric property.
In his statement accompanying
the application, Smith said that
MDU electric rates have not been
increased since 1851. In the last
six years materials and equip
ment costs have advanced "a per-
cent and labor costs are up "
40 percent. Power plant construc-
ton costs, a major item in INDUS
program to take care of customers
expanding needs, r 25 percent
higher than they were in 1851, re-
sulting in a proportionate increase
in depreciation, property taxes and
return required on investment.
Smith pointed out that another
extremely important factor affect
ing future utility earnings is the
rise in costs of money needed to
finance the company's growth.
During the past six months, in
terest costs on long term borrow
ings have risen AZ percent and
rates on utility preferred stocks
have risen proportionately. These
increased costs of securing new
capital must be incurred to take
care of new customers and meet
the growing needs of existing GUS
toners.
"We have been spending ap-
proximately 100000 annually
for the past six years for new con-
struction and our 1857 budget to-
tails $12, 900, 000," Smith said. SIN
view of these necessary heavy ex-
penditures, MDU Is faced with the
constant need for obtaining new
capital. In order to continue to at
tract capital to finance the utility
expansion required to adequately
serve Jul territory earnings must
be maintained at reasonable lev
els. We regret the necessity of
asking for increased electric rates
and have done everything we can
to improve our efficiency and thus
keep our costs as low as possible.
In spite of our best efforts we
have been unable to keep up with
the rising costs and find that a
rate increase is our only re-
course"
Smith said that the proposed
new rates would result in a gross
increase of 1903 900 in Montana
electric revenue before income
taxes. After deducting income tax
es the net amount available to
the company will be approximate
ly $144,000. Application of the pro-
posed new rate schedules indicates
a uniform increase of 12K percent
in the commercial rate. The in
crease in the residential rate will
be approximately Is percent and,
on the average, will amount to less
than three cents per day per us
toner. The Controlled Water
Heating rate will be increased IA
cent per XVIII. No change will be
made in the Uncontrolled Water
Heating rate which permits un-
use of water heating serv-
ice
