Watch and Cash 1978 UP&L Requests Rate Increase Continued from Page B-- l allowed UP&L in the 1976 decision to 14.5 percent. At that time UP&L officials said the commission's action on rate of return would have a detrimental impact on the companys earnings and its ability to attract new capital. Critics at last years hearing cited the fact that since UP&L had received the higher authorized rate of return, the company had enjoyed record profits and its stock had become one of the most attractive utility investments in the nation. Mr. Baueom said that since the commission lowered the rate of return, the firm has dropped from 10th most profitable utility in the nation to about the 90th. He said the stock had dropped to about book value and that the company almost lost its favorable ratings on the bond market. He said the attrition factor would have the same effect to the company as an increase in authorized rate of return. Rate Structure The proposed rate structure would have a lifeline-typ- e provision, which would favor residential customers who conserve energy.

Regarding impact statements and delay in range improvements, Mr. Calkin suggested the bill be changed to force BLM to assess impacts and permit improvements and remove that unjust burden from the backs of Congress. He suggested the bill be reworded to include: INCLUDED IN THE SHOW AND SALE WILL BE: The absence of completed land use d environmental plans or impact statements shall not be the sole basis for not allowing minor range improvements. Any range improvement that is judged to have insignificant impacts on the environment through the environmental analysis review process should not be delayed for environmental reasons.

Another provision would bring the rates to irrigators closer to the rates paid by other customers. Rates paid by irrigators are currently about of the cost of service. Under the new application, it would cut that benefit in half and irrigators would pay about 1 half what it costs the power company to serve them. However, Mr. Baueom said if irrigators agree to a load management program in which they would run their pumps during off peak demand periods, they could keep their current benefits. Also, residential customers using less than 300 kilowatt hours of electricity a month would not be subject to the general rate increase. The average residential UP&L customer uses 500 kilowatt hours a month. Another provision in the new rate structure states a person over 65 years of age who is a head of a household with an annual income less than $7,000 would not be subject to the increase for the first 300 kilowatt hours he used each month, regardless of how much elec1.3 u Schubach Jewelers and Mr. Victor Nash, president of International Gems Inc. have combined to bring to Salt Lake City the greatest gem show and sale of all time.
