United Telephone rate increases (cont.)
[continued from front page]
climbed well over 50%.
The company was also
allowed to increase rates for
certain supplemental ser-
vices, PBX trunk groups and
non-recurring charges. In-
cluded in the PUC ruling,
were proposals by United
for reductions in rates for
base rate area expansions in
certain exchanges and de-
creases in zone rates in
other selected exchanges,
totaling $42,265 annually.
Also, charges for telephone
colors were eliminated -re-
sulting in an annual de-
crease of $7,216. All
changes are effective on 18
December.
The PUC action reduced
United's original request of
an annual increase of $5.5
million in operating re-
venues to $2.8 million.
L.G. Wigbels, United’s
president, said, ‘“We fully
documented, justified and
thoroughly believe in the
$5.5 million we requested.
Our customers also evi-
denced that our request was
reasonable as no formal
complaints were made to the
PUC.
‘““However, it is apparent
that there is an honest
difference of opinion with
the PUC staff concerning
the level of earnings
needed. We had no realistic
alternative other that to
accept the PUC’s cut in our
request because further
delays would only make our
need for additional revenues
more critical. Runaway
inflation,”” Wigbels con-
Cafeteria (cont.)
[continued from back page]
cafeteria food is supplied by
the government, but most of
it comes from local busi-
nesses. Student salt shakers
have been removed because
of the government concern
with the heavily salt laden |
American diet. The cafeteria
could be fined heavily if they
supplied salt shakers for:
student use.
The older students agreed
that cafeteria food doesn’t
always taste like home
cooking, but after working
in the cafeteria, the students
appreciated the great
lengths the cafeteria ladies
go to in order to make the
food eye-appealing and
appetizing. They learned
that cooking in large
quantities and having to
keep food hot during the
one-and-one-half hour lunch
‘period ' poses other pro-
blems.
Most high school students
agreed that working in the
cafeteria is very demanding.

We have no discretionary

the company can accomplish
