Telephone Company
Seeks Increased
Rates In Oregon
The Pacific Telephone and Tel
egraph company Thursday filed
with the Public Utilities Commis
sioner of Oregon new schedules
providing for a general state
wide increase In rates.
"If the people we serve in Ore
gon are to have the amount and
kind of telephone service they
,are demanding and should be
furnished," declared F. D. Tell
wright, vice president and gener
al manager for Oregon, "we must
have enough price relief to meet
current wages and costs and to
keep our credit sound.
Our present intrastate earnings
in Oregon, which include the rate
revisions granted last January,
are rapidly approaching tha van
ishing point.
"Between now and the end of
next year the company should
spend $26,500,000 to enlarge and
Improve the telephone system in
Oregon. To do this we must go
to investors for money. Investors
are alike in one thing they put
their dollars where they can ex
pect safety and a fair return."
In general, the filing by the
company would increase one
party residence service $1.00 per
month; two-party residence, 75c
per month and four-party resi
dence and suburban service, 50c
per month. No change is propos
ed in present farmer line rates.
Business rates would be increas
ed $3.50 for one-party and $3.00
for two-party in Portland, and
$2.50 for one-party and $2.00 for
two-party elsewhere throug hou t

I the state. There also would be
increases in certain steps on the
present intrastate long distance
schedules, Including an increase
to 10c on all present 5c long dis
tance routes.
In all, it was said, the increase
would total on a current annual
basis about $5,500,000, or, per
centagewise, an average increase
of only 26 12 percent over the
company's present intrastate re
venues. This $5,500,000 figure
would net the company, after fed
eral taxes, etc., $3,311,000.
According to Oregon law, the
filing made by the company
would become effective in 30
days, unless suspended by the
Public Utilities Commissioner.
who then would call hearings and
issue an order within six months.
