The by approximately ten percent; there will be an upward adjustment in long distance calls within the state, increases m ser- John E. Lattin, Vice President and General Manager for Mountain Bell cited inflation during a time erf unprecedented growth as the reason for seeking higher telephone rates. Our construction program has been stepped up in recent years to meet the demands of new customers and to continue high quality service for existing customers. We have invested $176 million for construction of new telephone facilities in Utah during the past four years and an additional $70 million will be spent during 1974. Although part of the budget increase can be attributed to a record number of new customers during the past-fivyears, most of it is due to higher costs. Since 1968, the price of copper has risen 84 percent. During the same period the average investment per telephone has increased from $445 to $545 at the end of 1973. Overall wage costs have risen 78 percent which includes the wages of 998 additional employees needed to keep up with Utah requirements. Everything we need and use costs more, Lattin said. He explained that the telephone company has employed new e technology, better operating procedures and tight expense controls to avoid repricing We rates before now. have absorbed much of the effect inflation has had on our purchasing power by getting more done through mechanization.

Two-part- y service would be raised 31 cents oer month, while the charge for a single business telephone would increase 82 cents per month.

The proposed increases for and person-to-perso- n operator-assiste- d calls would be greater to compensate for the higher labor costs involved. The new tariffs also call for a substantial increase in one-tim- e connection charges. If approved, new residence customers would pay $20 to have an installer dispatched, to connect the appropriate line to the central office equipment, plus $2 for each phone installed on the customers premises.
