The Senate Finance Committee had made a similar decision earlier. Subcommittee chair Burke and colleagues urged action, while the wage base was set to rise to 16 500 in 1977.

Village water rate hike okayed by commission
The California Public Utilities Commission authorized Park Water Company to raise rates 9.6 percent for about 1,500 customers in its Vandenberg Water division to cover higher power and wage costs while noting electricity costs rose 28 percent and wages 23 percent since the last rate set.
