PEpCO Plea
For Rate Hike
Accountant Finds

Here Justified

The Potomac Electric Power
Co, seeking q rate increase
throughout the Washington
area. today won support Of the
chief accountant Of the District

told the commission he felt the
proposed hike in electric rates
was justified"
The company hopes to win
approval Of new rates which
would produce q system wide
increase in revenues totaling
$4.819.157 or 6.95 per cent. Sim
liar applications for O rate in
crease have been filed with the
Maryland and Virginia COM
missions. A decision is expected
in the District in about q week
following the end Of hearings
today. Mr.. Falk disagreed with
company oficials on one point.
Point Of Difference
Last week. the company told
the commission It considered
the requested increase of an
emergency" nature. r. Roy
Dunn, PEPCo president. testi-
ned that later in the year the
company would reaurn to re-
quest q substantial increase in
its allowed rate Of return.
Mr.. Falk. however, testified
he felt the proposed increase
was mot in the nature Of an
emergency which would
justify q further increase In
rates before the end Of 1882"
He said the increase. If al
lowed, would result in a level
of earnings that win provide
the company with Q fair rate Of
: return on its investment :.
for a reasonable period In the
future"
Effect of Increase
The proposed increase is ex-|
pected to boost monthly bills
of most residential customers
from an average OF $6.72 now
to $7.27 or an increase Of S.
cent?
James Francis Reilly. PEPC0
attorney, told the commission
in his final argument that the
company needs rate relief now
because earnings at our pres
ent rates cannot support more
common stock and yet. Il our
credit rating Is to stand un-
impaired, we must increase the
proportion Of equity in our
capital structure.
And" he added. ''in order
to carry out our construction
program. we must be in q posi-.
ton to raise $31 million Of In.
vest ment money during 1859
Those are basically the main
reasons why, in our applica-
ton. we call the relief we were
seeking emergency relief"

Mr.. Khrushchecv told an

in its internal life.
Alternatively. the Soviet

Russian troops.

Mr.. Khrushchev specified that

West elected to have a neutral

Autumn foliage promises to

adequate moisture in most

Autumn foliage is a physio-
logical phenomenon. 1t arrives
in easy stages as daylight
shortens and temperatures
become lower. It Is first seen
in swamps and other low
places because cool air settles
there. Frost has nothing to
do with it.

ing forced drafts and loss Of
heat. The filtered air is then
recirculated in the room.
From an architects stand
point. this range hood offers
another step forward in
kitchen design. It does not
take up cabinet space and
eliminates the need for thick
partitions. Because vents
and ducts are eliminated,
there are more possibilities
in kitchen layouts. The stove
can now be moved to any
part Of the room, whether 1t
be a new or old house. AS a
result, more counter space
can be designed into the
kitchen.
