Commission Gives Phone Company */ Increase in Rates New Schedule Will Cost t Eastern Carolinians $1,072,500 a Year The State Utilities commission Wednesday authorized Carolina Telephone and Telegraph company to raise the telephone bills of ap proximately 99,000 Eastern North Carolinians $1,072,500 a year. The new rates(will net the com-| pany an estimated $455,000 more J a year after taxes and lift its lag- i ging rate of return from around 4.8 ; to a more healthy 6.5 per cent. A 6.5 per cent on net investment, the commission explained, is "fair and reasonable" and necessary to enable a telephone company to do its job. The company's officers had begged the commission for a net increase, after taxes, of $900,000. To get that, they would have need ed approximately $2,500,000. For residential customers, the increase will amount to 25 cents a month. For business customers, the increase will range from $2.25 to $2.75 per month, depending on the size of the local exchange. Pay station rates were raised from five cents to 10 cents per call. The charge for extensions was raised from $1 to $1.25 per month for residential subscribers and from $1.50 to $1.75 for business subscribers. Connection charges were lifted from $4 to $6.75. In fixing the new rates and charges, the commission folfewed a formula adopted first to gr^p an increase to the state's other major telephone company. Southern Bell.
