The plea was argued Wednes day before examiners of the Stale Public Utilities Commission in Klamath Falls. City Manager G. S. Vergeer was present to oppose the rate change. A brief prepared by OWC Presi dent Oscar P. Newman, also pres- tnt, called for increases of 24.12 per cent for residences, 23.21 per cent for commercial establish ments, 22.20 tor industries,, and 24.02 for other municipal sales. He estimates the increase would yield an average return of 6.36 per cent annually compared to the 5.38 per cent average annual return the company now is earning on its investment here. That means for every $100 the company receives in revenue, $6.86 would be profit. Newman said his company estimates that much prof it is necessary to preserve com pany- and stockholder confidence in its securities. By NORM CARDOZA . Newman said company profits The Oregon Water Corporation have declined since 1950, though Oregon Weather By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 24 hours to 4:30 a.m. Thursday Max. Min. Prep.

He cited the ris ing cost of service. Service that cost $100 in l;3 now costs $333, he said. In addi tion, though the company has spent a large sum on new facilities here since 19"i0, tlie area is growing quickly and other new facilities, will have to be added. That means new securities will have to be sold, Newman stated. But Vergeer says no evidence has been submitted to show the capital investment ratio per custo iner in the city limits has not in creased enough to justify a rate increase. He also says the com pany did not answer a protest filed by the city when it was noti fied by the PUC of the rate In crease application. The increase thus ought to be turned down by the PUC, said Vergeer. He also says proposed minimum rales for all customers, includ ing residences, are unrealistic. The new rate would cost $1.60 per month for the first 300 cubic feet of water. The next 700 cubic !eet would cost an additional 26 cents per 100 cubic feet, the next 4.0(H) cubic feci, 19 cents; the next 25.000 cubic feet, 13 cents; and everything over 30,000 cubic feet would cost 10 cents per 100 cubic feet of water. But a breakdown of tho 52,722 bills listed as sent out in Newman's brief shows that only 11,906 bills were for less than 400 cubic feet, Vergeer said. "If the rates are to be changed, we believe the minimum billing should be based on 400 cubic feet of water service," he added. Vergeer also charged that pro posed rates for fire hydrants arc too high. Newman's brief, he says, indicates a nine per cent increase in revenue from hydrants. But the cost would jump from $5 per year to $39.96 per year, per four-inch hydrant, assuming the hydrants are newly installed. Hy drants installed before the rate in crease became effective, would. agreed Vergeer, cost only nin per cent more per year. Vergeer also said new rate pro posals would cost the city 29 per cent more lo irrigate parks, play grounds, highway landscaping and other improvements. That service then would cost $343 additional an nually. The PUC probably will render a decision within 30 days. LADIES! Would you like o new $50,000 horn, FREE? Phone TU 4-8484 Alts. & Eves. Reds May Orbit Pair NEW YORK (AP) - The Soviet Union may put two men into orbit around the earth this spring and try to land them safely in the Pacific Ocean, a scientist predict ed Tuesday night. Air Force Brig. Gen. Don R. Flickinger said he believes the Soviets have solved most of the problems and are waiting until the shot is scientifically expedient. The recently designated Pacific Ocean test area seems the most likely recovery area for such a space capsule, he said in an in terview. He predicted the Soviets will trigger the re-entry of their space capsule by radio from a Siberian command station. With their available rocket pow er the Soviets can put up to a 10,-000-pound capsule in orbit enough to carry two men, the general said. Eastern Oregon Mostly cloudy through Friday.
