Bell Seeks 5.7 Million Rate Hike In Kansas
Southwestern Bell Telephone Co asks the Kansas Corporation Commission for an estimated 5.7 million dollar yearly rate increase. If granted at current 6.59 percent return, the company would see about 2.4 million more annually by adjusting plant value to 202 million. Witnesses from the company and observers from GSA and Marysville attended. The case traces back to 1959 when the commission set the return, a Shawnee County court upholding higher figures, and the Kansas Supreme Court affirming 6.59 percent with refunds totaling about 7.6 million already being made.
