O u r total expenses have increased at a much faster rate than our total income. O ur wage costs are one-and- a-balf million dollars higher today than they would have been under the wage rates prevailing in 1946. O u r plant investment has risen since 1946 from $7,833,061 to $15,365,661. O ur construction expenditures for plant ex- pansion have increased from $650,000 in 1946 to over $2,(XX),(X>0 ¡n 1959, oyer $1.000,000 in 1951; and we a r e * now planning a new expansion program which will total about $10,000,000 during the next three year». Consequently, in order that we may be able to obtain the capital necessary to finance our program of new con struction. we find it necessary to request increases in telephone rate» (the first increases since 1946).
