The request applies to the company’s residential, commercial, industrial and other customers served at retail rates. “If we don’t solve this problem now, Georgia consumers will find themselves in an energy crisis of unprecedented magnitude,” without bond. The death was by shooting. Chris Albert Lever pleaded quilty to burglary and was sentenced to five years probation by Superior Court Judge Edwin D. Fulcher. In other court activities Judge Gordon Chambers of State Court said at a commital hearing last Wednesday that there was not probable cause to bind Wallace Harper over for trail. Harper had been charged by Richmond County Investigators with possession of marijuana. Harper was arrested during a raid by county investigators along with Joseph P. Thornton, Patricia Weeks, and Garth M. Shaw, at 2227 Albermarle Drive the month of May 1973. He told Judge Chambers that he had only been at the house moments before it was raided. The others arrested in the raid were charged with possession of barbituates, amphetamines, LSD, marijuana, and another drug suspected of being MDA (a hallucinogen) or heroin. said Edwin I. Hatch, company president. “The consequences could be catastrophic,” he added. “Without an immediate increase in rates Georgia Power’s construction program, already curtailed because of inadequate earnings, would suffer further cutbacks,” Hatch said. The company must carry out a $3 billion construction program over the next five years to meet Georgia’s growing power needs, he explained. “Even greater amounts will be spent in he years after that to provide for power needs that will quadruple by 1990,” he added. He said that, in addition, the company will have to file for permanent rate increase very shortly to bring revenues back to a level that will cover all operating costs, pay for environmental protection equipment required by law and provide a fair rate of return on total plant investment. The proposed emergency increase would go into effect by July 1, and would provide the company sll.l million in additional revenue before September 30. It will add approximately 3.7 cents a day to the average residential consumer’s electric bill. “This emergency increase is absolutely essential to avoid the immediate financial crisis,” Hatch added. “Inadequate earnings have already influenced the cutback of four major generating stations,” Hatch said. These stations are a nuclear generating plant near Waynesboro, a nuclear unit near Baxley, and two pumeed-storage hydroelectric plants, one near Rome and one between Eatonton and Sparta. Hatch said the emergency relief is being sought so that the company’s earnings will be sufficient to legally permit a SABE'S CLOTHING 1022 BROAD ST. \V\EEE For Ladies \\\ Flats Sandies Heeis S- Amvets Post 616 9th & Walton Way FRIDAY JUNE 15th L „ MICKEY MURRARY AND SWINGING DUKE SATURDAY JUNE 16th POST INSTALLATION & SOUL >™ RS OF OFFICERS f W Si W 3;3 ° pm witiWi "Learn To Play The Guitar At I AV MUSIC JHI CENTER 967 Broad St. * Augusta, Georgia \ Phone 722-7989 Thadi iA Jcuj iKuau (Crntpr "EVERYTHING MUSICAL" where the Best of all Gospel & Rock Bands Trade EXPERT INSTRUMENT REPAIRING 310-312 - STH STREET PHONE 722-5757 proposed $l5O-million sale of first mortage bonds and a $25-million sale of preferred stock scheduled for November. “More than 80 percent of Georgia Power’s construction funds must be raised from the sale of securities,’’Hatch said. “And If our earnings are not adequate to permit the sale of these securites, we will not have the capital to build plants necessary to provide power for Georgia’s future,” he added. Future power shortages in Georgia could cause widespread umemployment, an exodus of young people from the state for lack of opportunity and perhaps cessation of all industrial plant expansion, Hatch warned. While the consumer price index has risen more than 40 points since 1958, he said, the price per residential kilowatt-hour has declined from 2.05 cents to 1.9 cents. He added that even with the proposed increase, the Georgia Power average would be well below that of the nation. “Our present price for electricity is simply too low to allow a fair return on investment,” Hatch said. “For the past 12 months the rate of return on the company’s more than $2 billion worth of plant was 6.65 percent, far below the return of 8.26 percent authorized by the Public Service Commissionn.”
