Expenses are going up faster than revenues 23 per cent more since 1940. Like any other business, when ex penses rise we need more money to pay the bills. Payroll Tripled In 10 Years In the telephone industry, wages is the main cost of domg business. Last year wages took 50 cents of every donar we spent for operating expense. In the last 10 years our wage bill has tripled. It is now running 16 per cent more than in 1949, the last time tele phone rates were increased. Another Wage Raise Last Month Last month a new wage contract was signed increas ing wages $2.50 to $5.00 per week in line with the general trend in industry. This was done after several weeks of bargaining sessions. This is our third wage increase since 1949. Taxes Zoom Taxes is our second largest expense item. They are now four times more than we paid in 1941. Since 1949 they have nearly doubled. Last year about 30 cents of every dollar you paid for telephone service, including excise tax, went for taxes. That comes to nearly $2 per month per telephone. Government last year took more in taxes than it cost to maintain our telephone plant. Materials Cost More Common items of materials such as poles, wire, cable, trucks and telephones have more than doubled in price since 1941. They are up 9 per cent since 1949 and going higher. Much New Plant Needed To Meet Service Requirements In the seven years since the war we have had to add over $11 million in new plant and equipment to keep up with service demands. This was nearly three times as much as we added in the preceding 20 year period. Further substantial increases must be made to meet new pressing demands for service. The money for this growth must be borrowed from people who buy our stocks and bonds. They will put money in the business only if earnings are sufficient to assure a reasonable re turn and safeguard the investment. Telephone Service Prices Lag v Most businesses raise prices right along as their costs go up. Since 1941 the price of many things you buy has doubled. Our prices, which are regulated, have gone up only 39 per cent in this period as compared with a general rise in the cost of living of 89 per cent. Fair Prices Needed Our present application to the Commission asks for a fair price for our service in view of today's operating conditions. We believe a fair price is one which provides sufficient revenue to meet expenses and pay a reasonable return to the people whose savings are used to build new plant Itr growth and good service. We are asking for just that no more. The Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph Co. Dwarf 1st, Mrs. Wm. J. Sprandel; 2nd, Mrs. J. B. Cook; 3rd, Mrs. Philip Lepert. Persian Carpet 1st, Verna A.
