TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
Blessed arc the undejiled in the way, w-ho wxilk in the law of the Lord. Psalm 119:1.
Somebody Erred
The city’s utility customers knew
something had to be wrong, when their
New Year's utility bill greeting arrived.
Majority of residential customers
found power service charges up from
40 to 50 percent.
Somebody did err, but not the bill
ing machine.
The much larger bills came from
the new rate schedules which the city
commission, in its ill-wisdom had adopt
ed, and, in its wi.sdom, has already mov
ed to revi.se dowunvard.
Who erred?
The city commission erred in adopt
ing the report of Southea.stern Consult
ing Engineers, Inc., after pledging mere
ly to pass on the rate increase granted
Duke Power Company, which did not
approach the 33.8 percent increase for
residential customers the engineers
recommended.
The engineers en-ed either in mis.s-
ing the signals or in finding it an easy
chore o append as recommended rates
Duke Power Company’s schedules. It is
also a mystery how the engineers could
recommend a decrease for the small
three-customer outside commercial ac
count, yet recommend a 59.9 percent in
crease for Kings Mountain Public Hous
ing Authority. The latter is the beauti
ful kind of account any utility seller
would want; one-meter billing and no
collection problems. Tlie housing au
thority pays the tab for 1.50 dwelling
units, billed through nine meters at the
sf'veral sites.
Some history:
Anyone who has kept abreast of
the city’s financial history over two
decades and more knows tliat the city
has lived and breathed, minus e.xccssive
property taxes, off its utilities profits.
Fifteen - sixteen years ago, the electri
cal system was showing a gross oper
ating profit of ?125,000 per year. It was
a heavy load for this utility to carry
and any city commissioner of the era
would be quick to acknowledge that the
distribution system was being robbed,
from standpoint of upgrading for today
and growth anticipation for tomorrow,
to pay the city’s other freight.
Ran Tough lob Well
Edwin S. Lanier, retired commis
sioner of insurance, had as tough a job
as anyone in government, certainly
toughest in the council of state, perhaps
even tougher on a continual and contin
uing basis than the governor’s.
The role of the commissioner of in
surance (and same can be said for com
missioner of labor, a post Frank Crane
left via retirement) is that of middle
man between weu’ring factions.
It is the commissioner’s duty to bo
the middle man, the baseball umpire
who “calls ’em as he sees ’em” within
the framework of the rules. It is the
commissioner’s duty to be fair is setting
insurance rates: fair to the insurance
companies, which deserve an honest
profit, and fair to the customers’ com
panies which deserve protection against
gouging.
In 1955, the city turned on the nat
ural gas and this utility quickly came
to the aid of its electrical brother, pro
viding annuajiy growing profits to 1)
permit electrical .system improvements
without borrowing money and 2) to
share in defraying other city expenses.
I Back to errors:
Southeastern specializes, it con
tends, in electrical engineering anil ad
vice to power-selling cities, all either
North Carolina customers of Duke, Car
olina Power & Light Company, or Vir
ginia Electric & Power Company, with
one spill-over into South Carolina w^here
South Carolina Electric & Gas Company
is the supplier.
But in the Kings Mountain report.
Southeastern writes: “In general, it is
desirable to match the rates of adjacent
utilities where minimum cost require
ments can be met. It is recommended
that the same general conditions of ser
vice offered by Duke Power Company,
such as power factor cori’cction clauses,
demand ratchets, and contract minimum
demands be adopted along with the pro
posed rates. . .”
There is one fact of life these speci-
ialists for the cities appai’ently have
not absorbed:
Duke Power Company is a TAX-
PAYING regulated public utility, while
pow'cr-selling municipalities are TAX-
COLLECITING agencies.
It should be possible tor Southeast
ern to return w’ith minum of time, sweat
and tears, with a recommendation from
Duke's “RW” residence-with-water heat
er schedule. A customer using 1100 kilo
watt hours power in a month paid $18.59
under the city’s old rate. Under Duke
“R”, the city’s new rate, he pays $27.01,
an increase of 45 percent. Under Duke’s
“RW” schedule, $21.61, an increase of
slightly over 16 percent.
If there appears an imbalance in
Duke’s over-all WHOLESALE rate in
crease, it must be remembered that
Duke’s percentage increase was on the
city’s former wholesale rate, while the
city’s percentage increase is on profit
making RET.4IL rates.
Bid On Surplus
Governor Terry Sanford in 1961
thought he could meet his campaign
pledge to up teacher pay out of a tobac
co tax, but couldn’t sell it.
Eight years later, Governor Bob
Scott did sell a tobacco tax, but not in
the degree anticipated. He called for a
five-cent ta.x per package of cigarettes
and couldn’t sell it. As a result, the
then-new governor got his money but
with a two-cent tax per package of fags,
and a one-cent crown tax on soft drink.s.
The hodge-podge gave Scott his
money, but took much coin from the
pockets of soft-drinkers and weed users.
The two cents escalated to five and the
one cent to five in the market place. The
makers of these products reaped more
coin Hian did the state treasurer. Shed
no tear, however, for the state’s money
bags man did very well indeed.
Perhaps the auto caused Mr. Lanier
his greatest continuing headache. His
administration was marked by inflation
generally, and, specifically, increasing
cost of automobiles and automotive re
pairs, increasing cost of medical and
hospital care, and the dollar value
(crassness not intended) of life itself.
Obviously, the insurance undenvrit-
ers needed higher premium income, and,
of course, were quite willing and able
to ask it.
On the other side were fho auto
owners, required by state law to buy
minimal auto liability coverage, and
chewing just about everytime their poli
cies reached expiration date, as premi
um costs escalated.
Mr. Lanier was roundly flayed, and
frequently, by both groups.
That fact must be interpreted to
mean that Conunissicwier Lanier ran his
job and ran it well.
There is a movement afoot in the
legislature to repeal one or both, in view
of the impending record surplus.
Not likely.
Since everybody else is putting in
their bids for that slush fund, the Herald
might as well, too.
The drafty old gingerbread Govern
or’s Mansion was built by Governor T.
J. Jarvis, like Luther Hodges a term-
and-one-half man. Governor Jarvis serv
ing the state from 1879, when Governor
Zeb Vance died in office, to 1885.
It’s about time the state thought
about providing up-to-date diggings for
its governor and his family. 'The home-
folks don’t matter much, maybe, hut the
Governor does entertain many guests
from other states. The guests deserve
better.
