tremendously. )ks a result,'p,resent rates are
entirely inadgquate to meet rising costs and
to carry throdgh our current program o
service improvement and expansion in
Washington. Last year, our earnings in this
State had dropped to the lowest return in
30 years.
An even beper service is on the way.
We are already working on a huge con-
struction program to keep pace witlf'Wash-
ington's growth. Many improvements are
coming.., expansions into many new areas
are in full swing. We're on our way to bring-
ing you a better, more extensive service than
ever before.
It is estimated that this expansion pro-
gram will cost $25,000,000 in 1947 alone.
IVe have tried to make ends meet, but "
costs have risen to a point where more
money is now essential. You can be cer.
tain that we are asking only enough...

,The responsibility of furnishing telephone
service in Washington carries with it an ob-
ligation to meet the service demands of a
progressive, rapidly growing state.
We have applied for statewide increases
in rates in order that we may be able, in view
of rising costs, to continue to furnish ade-
quate and dependable service. Our proposal
includes, for many communities, extensive
Service changes, in order to meet the public
need for an ever-improving service.

Present local rates were set
more than 20 years ago.
Charges now being made for local tele-
phone ervice ia Washington are based on
rates established between 1907 and 1924 in
the light of conditions then existing. Today
these rates are inadequate and have been for
a number of years.
Telephone costs have more than ii ''.'
"¢oubled since 1940 alone.
Although our business in Washington has
grown and revenues have increased substan-
tially in the last six years, costs have gone
up even faster. Payroll has almost tripled,
due to more em-
ployees and higher
,Wages. Equipment,
