ELECTRIC SERV oCENY
W. A. HOTCHKISS January 18, 1972
Division Manager
To the Honorable Mayor
and Aldermen
City of Wichita Falls
Wichita Falls, Texas
Gentlemen:
Texas Electric Service Company, because of sharply increased
costs that it can no longer absorb or offset, and facing its largest
construction program in history, must request your approval of a 6%
increase in its rates. This increase, to be applied uniformly on all
rates, is the minimum amount needed to continue to provide dependable
electric service for the growing needs of our customers. For the
average residential customer, the increase will amount to less than $1
per month, or 3 per day.
Only twice before in the history of our company has it been necessary
to request a rate increase, while our efforts to keep the cost of electricity
as low as possible have resulted in a number of voluntary rate reductions.
Our last increase was granted in 1961, and was offset by voluntary reduc-
tions in 1963 and 1965.
So, in spite of continuing inflation, the electricity used by today's
average residential customer costs less than in 1961, and even with
this 6% increase the cost will still be less than it was ten years ago.
We have been able to hold the line against rising costs through
economies resulting from increased usage, installation of larger and
more efficient generating units, and by taking advantage of automation
and other technological advances. But relentless inflation and the
resulting higher costs affecting every phase of our business have now
outstripped the economies we have been able to realize in the past. As
a result, our rate of return, based on the fair value of our property, has
declined from 6. 13% in 1970 to 5. 73% in 1971, and will decline further to
about 5. 45% in 1972.

To the Honorable Mayor
and Aldermen
January 18, 1972 Page 2
At the same time that we are experiencing this cost squeeze, we
are embarking on the largest construction program in our history. In
the next two years alone, we must spend $165 million on new construction.
These new facilities are needed to provide continued reliable service to
aid in the economic growth of our area, to help solve environmental
problems, and to avoid the causes of power shortages that have been
experienced in other parts of the country.
We must raise about $100 million of this new money in a very
competitive market at a time when high interest rates are still prevailing.
It is essential that we maintain earnings that will keep our securities
attractive to investors, so that we can obtain the needed capital at the most
favorable rates. Our success in accomplishing this will be an important
factor in enabling us to keep the cost of our service as low as possible
in the future.
Texas Electric Service Company has a good record of providing
dependable, reliable service to its customers at reasonable rates. To
assure that we continue this record in the future, we must now ask for
this increase in the price of our service.
We will appreciate your approval of this request.
