"Slue ling of hatchery fidi attract angling pressure and eac h year fishermen catch more of the wild fish until the poni!altnn ts severely reduced." Amlhano added, "this change in Mocking strategy should hot only increase the sild fish populations, hut also decrease fisher-ma- n pressure cm non Mocked streams. This would create a more aesthetic sporting atmosphere and lirller philosophical approach to fisliing. Streams to which the hatchery rainlxisvs will lie diverted should offer more success to anglers and distribute the catch to more sportsmen."

The increase would apply to all classes of customers, averaging 12-- percent, with a mati mu in increase to any one c lass of customer of 118 prreent. The company is rifectiv asking the increase l with all meter readings on and alter Srptemlirr 10, 1971. E. AI N lluntrr, president of the utility, said this is the company's first recpirst for a rate Increase since the last inc lean was granted right yean ago. However," Mr, Hunter said, "while the ccmqMny hat taken advantage of every economy available to it, its cost have continued to rise and the inflationary spiral hat reached the point where it has no alternative lot to ropiest an increase in electric rates and revenue at this tune."

That was the only rale increase the company had received in the last IS years, and only the second one in the last 50 years.

The utility president pointed out that in the five years ending with 1973, the company plans an expansion program costing upwards of 1273 nullum to keep up wuh its customers' electric requirement.
