Enger: As I und�erstand it, som� sort of trade was made
_ concerning the grocery store in that neighborhood,
` and the property would" revert back to residential.
� _ ' There seems ,to be commercial activity .in area de-
� signated as lst residential. Therets a bakery
started up there - it might be legal - I dontt know.

Dear I�iro� .Carlton: . �. _ � , -'
„
, ;, ' . . .. \
� . The City, of. �Stockton :appeared as a�.protestant at the
Pacific ;Telephone�_ rate .:hearing Septembeer 27 ;to 2g,:. It was very
enjoyable �to ;hear the company witnesses attem�t. to explain away the , '
very successful issue of stock made by the company in� early 1950
when per. share earnings and'_',. rate of return wexe. even lower than at
-present. Other facts appeared,,�with; were :al�so :awkward.for the ,.:com-
� pany to ignore, namely: . _. _
(1) Earnings per share have doubled since the Spring of 191�9 0
.. ' 1 U
, ����
>� . -; ; ,
_ (2) Due to the substant'ial _completion of the dial conversion
program the traffic expense of`,the eompany 'is actually
i � low�r in 195o than in 1g40 .
(3) Between the time that the eornpany s�arted to:.:,prepare its
_ , . rate case and August 31, 1950, the per share���earnings
� rose from �7.50 to ;�9.60 (annuaT.i;zed� and the rate,,;of
_ return from 5 .5°j to hearly 6.5J e L�'
It thus appears that for the first time since the war the
cities have a chance to beat a major rate case or, at least, to hoTd
the raise to the pay p�ones alone. + � �
� , There is a great deal of research, statistical �rork and
procurement of expert witnesses yet �to be�;:,donee The City Attorneys
at the rate hearing conferred in orc�er to`-coordinate o,ur work so as
to spend our money most efficiently.
San� Francisco and Los Angeles will cover the whole ;field, ,
not too intensively, with. t°heir permanent rate,.,attorne,ys and engin-
eers e � An association of�5.�u�h:�rn California cit'i�es,,;led by Glendale
will procure ;an expert witness in the investment f3.eld_ to testify
�hat present earnings are ample to sell eommon stock.
`The City of, Stockton. has appropriated �500 ta hire a 1oca1
certified ::�ubdaic accauritant, Bruce MeKnight,' who, has had experienee
both as an aceouritan� for public u�ilities and as a City wi�ness in
publie util.i'ty rate � hearingse In a recent hearing in which
Nlr. NlcKnight and I participated the Commission grated the California
Vdater Service Gompany a rate of, return of but 5 ;5 f. , (Compa-�e the
509� and the 5 .6jo recently granted the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company and the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company respectively) .
_ �- Our preliminairy study and �inve5tigation indicates that
Mr, I�leKnight shoul-d _prepare stati,stical te5tim,ony and charts on the
. following subjects at least:
' . (a) Chart. showing net'�revenue and. rate �of return in 1950.
(b) Chart. showing net ,revenue and rate of return in 195o if
increase in pay phones had been iri effect.
(c) Chart, showing earnings mn comrrion (in dollars and percentage)
: in, 195p, � ) , �
, � (dj Chart showing ditto `if inerease in pay �ihones had��.been in
ef.f ect.
,
(e) Chart showing rate of return and �earnings on common in 1950
if ,the debt-equity ratio had been the sazne as in 191�$-9 (time of
last telep�one rate hearing) plus 50f debt and 50� .equity on
new post lg�.$ capital (as the Commissi�on _suggested in its
last telephone decision) .
v (f)_ Charts showing. recent trends in earnings, dividend�,, rate
, of return, debt rati�. � ,
(g) Rates of return granted in 191�9 and 1950 in telephone cases
before, the Commisszons �of other States>

(1) Chart showing; aggregate purchase by .American Telephone) and
Telegraph of Pacific Telephone and Telegraph stock below
market ;:�rice and effect. on such policy on dividend d�is;burse-
ment, dissipation of surplus, etc . �
. . . .� . , ;
(j)� Differeriee between cost o£ money and rate of return.
� . .
(k) Destruetion of Companyts r�lience on the decreasing net and
gross �income � '
, per telephone, This will require an analysis
,o
•.r�
Y^'...�i,/_'r,s� � ' .. ' ,

of the source of income and its variability according to
_ number '�of t,elephones o - .As income iriclude.s���toll (�or lor�g dis-
tance revenue's' which are- not directly r�lated:':�o number of
telep3�ones it would appear -inevitable for'riet �er telephone
. to deerease as number of telephones .increasese �
_. ;
. (1) Demonstration .of the dec-lining traffic expenses due to in-
creased effieiency alnd declining i�non-recurring� expenses • � ;
t resulting from the extensive conver5ion from manual to
� dial telephones and the approaching completion of this con- ,
vers'ion� progra.rri. . .
,
�(m) Analysis of the expens�s and revenues from 19�.6 to 1950 to
show that the steadily rising net is an .inevitable result
,of expense and -revenue trends. . This phase of the investi-
gation _along� with (1) is� very important as the eompany
cla'ims tYiat �the present upsurge in' earnings is merely �
temporary. ' �
(n)- A� great dea�l of analysis must be done to break down the
_ � .company4.s testimonye Thus Mr. Wa�lkerts testimony on the
necessary� "under pricing" in offeririg �s�ock appears out of
` 1=ine with�.=•real:it,y.. Charts can be constructed :.�d demonstrat�
tni�: Ma,riy of' the 'other charts prepared by tYie eompany can
also be discounted with adequate inv�stigation, leaving the
witness4s opinion unsupported by faets. _ 1�s a .guidetj.o this
:- th� 356� pages .of-��test�imony at the ��191�9� telephone rate'
: heariri�g have ;been :read 'and summarized e

� It is obvious that the inve'stigation, analysis and prepara-
- � ��:c�n o� testimony ,and� ;charts outlined above eannot �be performed :�for
� �50o e ,,_ :� ,
� . , _ � . � �
, In the .past the cities of Central California have consid�er-
� "� ed i-t ad-v�isable:�.�;and ef�fec�ive to joi�n together in opposing rate in-
c�rease's. The cost� to each city in eondueting a separate .defense is
of eourse :�rohibitive. For example the cost of tkie transcript alone
if �50 per day. ' Only by,,pooling their money. for a joint :analysis and
preparation of testimony �can the cities build an� effective %ease.
The Coulmis5ion can not be aided��;by 50 cities each putting in �100
worth �of �superficial, .and perha,ps -inconsistent testiinony! %
Accordingly if you have not already decided on the manner
� of� your' d�efense to this � request' by the telephone company �far a rate
increase of �35,000,000 {on top of the 301 to 70f increase granted
� the companp in 191�7. 191�g and 191�9) would you consider �:cont�ributing
toward the� cost of our prepra'tion for opposin� the rate� i�ncJrease?
Every penny received would go�.to defray the cos,ts of
statistic-ians, w'i-tne�sses and transcripts. �No part of �th�� m'oney would
� � ) go far couns�l fee� �as I must of nedessity �represent the Gity of
�Stockton anyway. I would of course inform the Commission of the
names of- the cities' being repre.s�ented to� add strength' to our defense.
�,
I , believe that our defense could be conducted very econ- �'
� , omically as we....?would not hire e�ensive "opiniontt evidenc�el��ut would
depend on stati'stical and mathematical. proof.:

After establishing-�that this wa� legal expenditure iviayor Simons
statedlhe relt the ielephone Companyts earnings were now adequate
according to statements read, so as not �to cr�ate hardship on
stoekholders of Reddin�; to warrant the request�d increase in rates.
P�tr. Simons further commented that in the or,iginal request the
Telephone Company sent statisties showing ths�t the increase would .
not affect Redding area, but since Los Angeles requsst�d that the
; increase be on an area� basis rather than state-wide, ,it does affect

-Councilman�.T�Iorr�.sonQ s preliminary report on electric rates set
forth in 'full herewitha
I have studied the problem frorn va'rious an�les.
I have come to the conclusion that in order to
accomplis�i a reduct�.on to the users of electri�ity,
with proper protection to the ope.ration af .the
Electrie Utilities Department, that it is necessary
to set aside a definite amount af cash for the proper
operation of the Electric Utility Departmente Eased
� upon past experience, a r.eduction- could be had in the
electric light bills with no curtailment in the operation
of' that department. It could give adequate service to
the publico This is a prelir�inary report .
This subject was referred to the committee for further report,
as this was Councilman Tviorrison4s report, not the committeeso
