Show j An Alarming I Situation j I We have told you in our advertisements that our business J I in Utah last year resulted in a dcfiicit. in our revenues of j I 2244,073.10. f I Here are some figures showing an even more alarming fe situation: fj I So for in 1918 our gross income increased 1.1 per cent J I over the same peroid of 1917. But I The expense of maintaining our lines and equipment j during the same period increased 47.4 per cent, and , The expense of operating our plant during the same time I increased 24.8 per cent. j d . . . Sli Thisneans that unless some measure of relief is accorded us through increased revenues the year 1918 will close with I a deficit of over four hundred thousand dollars in Utah. 1 Obviously, our revenue and expense problem is one j that will not solve itself the solution lies in adjstments of J I rates that will produce revenues sufficient to cover these ever- I- increasing costs.
