PNB Earnings Show Decrease For Past Year
Pacific Northwest Bell Presl
dent Zane E. Barnes described
1970 earnings as "disappoint
ing" In the company's annual
report mailed March 18 to more

Barnes noted that 1970 net
Income Increased only $583,493
to $18,663,991, versus a record
$3.2 million increase in 19G9,
and earnings per share were up
only 2 cents to $1.28 in 1970
compared to a 9 cent per share
increase the previous year.
In his message to sharcown

the condition of the regional
economy as the primary reas

"As a result," Barnes said,
'we have had to look within
our business lor ways to re
verse this trend. But our efforts
to find reasonable savings have
still not been enough and we
have asked for higher rates In
both Oregon and Washington in
1971."
Barnes noted that during 1970
every operation involving tele
phone service Improvement and
expansion was critically exam

greater mistake than to take
service shortcuts now," he said,
for they would only bring poor
telephone service In the future."
To help meet its service com
mitment PNB invested $180,972,
000 during 1970 in new equip
ment and facilities in Oregon,
Washington and Northern Ida
ho, and will spend some $189.9
million In the trl-state region
In 1971.
Barnes said PNB's service is
amonn the best in the nation
and to make it even better dur
Ing the 70's will require large
amounts of capital.
