Rate increase bid denied by California PUC
The California State Public Utilities Commission dismissed Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company’s request for a $10,000,000 postwar rate increase. The unanimous decision cited inadequate evidence of public need and returned a 4 percent investor return, noting postwar revenue prospects did not justify higher rates. The company plans to seek rehearing and continue seeking funds to maintain service quality.
