The increase amounts to $197,000. Rate relief was sought by Cascade following an increase, granted by the Federal Power Commission, to El Paso Natural Gas Company which will affect the price Cascade must pay for its gas. Increases granted by independent gas producers had prompted El Paso, Cascade’s supplier, to seek and get off setting rates. Provision is made by the Pu blic Utility Commissioner for utilities to apply for rate re lief to offset such increased ----- - - costs. The El Paso increase goes into effect April 1; the size of the needed offsetting amount indicates Cascade will need rate relief at that time. The increase will merely enable the company to maintain, not improve, its present level of earnings. The effect of the increase on' a customer’s bill will depend on the volume of gas being used- and the rate schedule which ap plies to that particular custo mer. The new charges are also I contingent on subsequent actions; by the Federal PowerCommis- ; sion which has reserved the ; right to rescind the rate in crease to El Paso. Were the Commission to take such action, the increases passedonbyCas- cade to its customers would be refunded.
