Carolina Telephone Company Is Granted Rate Increase TARBORO — Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company was granted a $15.9 million rate increase in an order issued by the North Carolina Utilities Commission last week. The new rates will increase the utility's local service revenues by about 12.5« percent annually. Last August the company applied for increases totaling $47.2 million, later amending that request to $45 8 million due to existing revenues remaining higher than earlier expected. Then, in February, the Commission approved statewide long distance rate increases giving Carolina approximately $7.1 million and reducing its rate case request to approximately $38.7 million. Tuesday's order reflects the effects of the $7.1 million in long distance revenues and allows only $15.9 million of the remaining $38.7 million covered by the August request. The Commission's Public Staff, which represents consumers before the Commission, had recommended $8 5 million. The Commission's order did not specify wliat the increase would be for basic phone service but required the company to submit specific rates within the next ten days under guidelines established by the Commission. Rates are expected to change by the middle of this month, according to T. P. Williamson, vice president-administration for the Tarboro-based utility. The Commission authorized a 15.75 percent return on common equity, that part of Carolina Telephone's property and investment that is represented by stockholder investment. The companyhad requested an 18 percent return on stockholder investment and had argued that the higher profit level was needed to attract money from investors to meet its construction requirements. The Public Staff argued that a 15.75 percent return on common equity was sufficient. The Commission partially sided with the Public Staff's arguments on how the company's capital structure was calculated as well as several other Public Staff recommendations on accounting for revenues and expenses. "We are disappointed with this result," Williamson said. "First, the Commission's order authorizes only a 15.75 percent return on the stockholder portion of our investment in equipment and facilities. That is too low in view of other opportunities available to investors today. Secondly, we are further disappointed because we stand no chance at all of actually being able to earn even that level of stockholder return. We have more stockholder funds employed than the Commission order reflects. A shortfall is therefore inevitable." Carolina Telephone had argued that stockholder investment totaled $214.1 million. The Public Staff said it totaled $166.5 million. The Commission chose a middle figure of $189.6 million. "As a result," Williamson said, "we believe we will have to re-evaluate our entire situation very carefully, particularly our construction plans and all of our operating and other expenses. It takes a lot of money to accomplish what we are doing throughout the 50 counties where we operate. If the revenue just isn't available, we will have to adjust accordingly" The Commission denied the company's proposal to stop subsidizing basic local service rates with revenues from yellow pages advertising. The company contended that yellow pages advertising is a competitive service and therefore should not be used to subsidize its regulated services to local customers. According to Williamson, "As has been acknowledged by the Commission and the Public Staff, much of our request, as is true of requests of other telephone companies throughout the state and nation, was due to factors beyond our control. Carolina Telephone has no control over today's interest rates, inflation or the national trend to deregulate parts of the telephone industry. We are concerned that the Commission's decision does not take sufficient note of these factors which will result in inevitable increases in the rates for basic telephone service." The Commission found the quality of service provided by Carolina Telephone to be good. The company's earlier announced plans call for spending approximately $104 million during 1982 for construction due to growth, changes in technology and the need to replace depleted equipment and cable facilities. "in today's economy, no one wants their cost® to increase," Williamson stated. "The facts are that the rates for telephone service have not kept pace with inflation and take a smaller portion of today's family income than ten years ago." Carolina Telephone, the second largest of the state's telephone companies, serves about 567,000 customers in 50 counties primarily in the eastern half of the state. Nandina Popularity Grows Nar.dina, long a favorite as a foundation plant, is becoming more popular as an accent plant or specimen plant for containers It's widely grown throughout North Carolina Some people call it "Heavenly Bamboo " N C Agricultural Extension Service specialists say that the plant is a native of China and is a member of the bayberry family Nandina grows as a mass of upright, unbranched stems. The leaves will range from deep green in shady locations to a light green or reddish purple in the sun It blooms in mid-spring but has only moderately showy white flowers The shrub is most appreciated for its bright red berries in the fall of the year. For best results, plant Nandina in partial shade Try to select rich soil with good drainage. Don't plant Nandina between curbs and sidewalks because the soil temperature will be excessively high. After several years, the plant will become "leggy." and the inner canes or stems should at that time be removed near the ground level. The extension specialists at North Carolina State University suggest that Nandina should be used more in landscaping. It makes an excellent showing when planted against a screening fence or stucco wall Nandina is one of the most disease and insect resistant of all evergreen shrubs • THE U.S. HAS ABOlT THE MOULD'S LARGER airport— Dallas FT. \A/ORt'H- COVERS ABOUT / 7, SCO ACJSES.
