What should Pacific North went lie II charge for telephone services in Oregon' The stale's Public I'tility Commissioner, Diarmuid t)S illinium, started the thorough investigative process to answer that ques tion through public hearings that got underway October IK, I Salem. PNH applied for a two phase increase in rates September 13 when it asked (or an overall increase of annual revenue amounting to (31 1 million, with S13 million of that amount to be awarded as immediate emcrttencv relief 1 Hiring a aeries of back ground briefings for press, radio and TV represenia lives conducted at seven locations throughout the stale between Septemtier 25 and Octotier 2. Don Gundcrsen, head of PNB's Oregon oerations, discussed the basic reasons why PNB needs higher rales. liere are the main points he presenled: I. As a regulated monopoly, franchisee! to provide com munications services in stipulated locations in Oregon, PNB has a basic service commitment. We have honored that com mitment. 2 That comitment requires that PNB meet demands of growth in Oregon resulting from increase in number of customers and over-all greater use of service. For example- In 1972 we will connect 345.0(10 phones and dis connect 295,000 for a net estimated gain of 50,000 in Oregon. We will handle approxi mately 12 million more long distance calls in 1972 than last year. Our Oregon customers will generate about 60 million more local calls this year. 3. Meeting these demands causes PNB to continue to add to its various types of equipment-cable and conduit, buildings, local and long distance switching equipment, telephone sets and so forth. Cost for these additions in 1972 will amount to about $97.6 million. 4. These equipment ad ditions make it necessary for PNB to continue to raise large amounts of invest ment capital on a continuing basis in the competitive financial market. 5. To raise this capital, PNB must have adequate earn ings in order to treat investors fairly. We have not been able to do so because we continue to earn lens than what the Com missioner determined in his last order was a mimrnun rate of return required to do so. 6 There are three ways in which adequate earnings ran be accomplished: tat Limiting additions : equipment., this defeats our commitment to serve. (b) Cutting bark on expenses ..the company has reached lis limit on this. C) Incresse revenues. 7. Further limits on equipment additions or expense reductions could lead to serious service protdenis something neither the Company nor its customers would find acceptable. 8 The only approach left then is to seek to increase revenues while main taining tight control over operating expenses and capital expenditures for equipment additions. Through the process of Investigation and hearings, the Commissioner and his staff will rule on the question of what PNH should be allowed to charge for Its services.
