Last Friday was "Hat Day" for all the 6th grade Shown above are the winners. They are, from left: classes at MVES and some of the ideas which the Tim Renner and Shirley Martin, silliest; Stacy children came up with were very original and Henderson, most original; Paige Anderkln, pretti- 'far-out." Six winners were chosen in three est; Bobby Cummins, prettiest and Kenny Graves, categories - silliest, most original and prettiest, most original. "CTC RATE INCREASE" [Cont. From Front] $83 million in equipment and facilities statewide. As pointed out earlier, the company has spent $24 million in equipment and facilities since its last rate hike. This allowed the company to provide additional calling paths, improved grades of serv- ice, and allowed meeting of requests from customers for new service in areas which were not serviced before. ' 'The high cost of the capital that we must borrow in order to finance these construction pro- jects is one of the major factors in the Company's decision to request increased rates," Morris said. Also, the cost of mainten- ance has risen dramatically in the last few years. "Back in 1975, our maintenance expense were $1.5 million in Kentucky," said Morris. "Last year we spent $3.5 million for mainten- • ance, an increase of about 133%. The growth in numbers of cust- omers, by 9,839 or 21.6%, ac- counts for only a small part of the increase." The cost of connecting new customers has increased sub- stantially over the four-year period. In 1975, the cost aver- aged $1,963 per customer gained. For 1979, the figure, was $3,420, a 74% increase. " "Even though oiy revenues have increased, the increasaed have not been sufficient to keep pace with our rising operating and construction costs. "We know we can't meet Kentucky's future telephone needs without putting addi- tional money into service im- provements, yet we can't build . without capital, and we can't get that capital unless we're earning enough to attract the investor who lends us that mon- ey. "We have an obligation to Drovide the most reliable serv.-- coii uni^ D? done if we Wive the money to do the Job," Morris said. Under the proposed rate scale, the average one-party Increase for a residential cus- tomer yrould be around $4.85 per month, and $7.85 for the one-party-buslness customer. A customer's specific rate depends upon his location, type of equip- ment and grade of service. In additon, Continental is proposing to charge for director assistance and to increase charges for a pay telephone call from 10 cents to 25 cents. "The request for a pay telephone increase is a move to relieve our regular customers of the burden of subsidizing public-phone us- age." said Morris. Continental Telephone of Kentucky serves 78,794 tele- phones as of December 1979. This is an increasae of 28.5 percent since 1975. The proposed rates for Bee Spring, Brodhead, Brownsville, Irvine, Livingston, Manchester, Mt. Vernon and Oneida are: $11.60 to $16.55 for one-party residential; $9.25 to $13.05 for four-party residential; $19.45 to $27.25 for one-party business; $13.05 to $19.00 for four-party business. ramblitlgs... by: perlina m. anderkin After a long hiatus from writing this column, I feel the urge strongly enough to try it once again.
