KPL trims interim rate request
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP)—Citing the need for quick action on its request for an interim rate increase, Kansas Power and Light Co. has agreed to trim $1.44 million from its original suggested increase of $39.03 million.
The interim increase is being sought immediately and is part of a total permanent hike of $55 million per year being considered by the Kansas Corporation Commission. KPL wants the increase to cost the new of the Jeffrey Energy Center.
In a related matter, KPIF filed yesterday with the commission its reply to legal
documents submitted by interveners in the KCC proceedings.
In its reply, KPL devoted much of its response to arguments leveled by Kansas Legal Services Inc., which is representing low income consumers of KPL.
KPL STATED the attorneys for the poor were not searching for the truth.
Hal Hudson, director of public relations for the Topeka-based utility, said that rather than press the KPL position further, the company would accept challenges made by KCC staff to portions of the original $39.03 million increase.
If approved by the KCC, the interim rate increase would remain in effect pending completion.
'We will accept this amount ($37.59
million) if the commission will give it to us now," he said.
In its written reply to the commission, the company found what it called several faults with arguments presented to the KCC last summer. Surveys represent low income consumers.
Brake line rupture caused crash
Police said yesterday a rubber hydraulic brake line apparently had rubbed against the exhaust pipe and burned through, causing leakage of brake fluid.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)—A ruptured brake line has been blamed for the crash of a bus that injured 33 members of a local church group on their way to the Mid-America Billy Graham crusade Sunday night.
"Like Don Quixote's windmills, Kansas Legal Services Inc. continues to fight Jefrey Energy Center units 3 and 4," the reply stated, countering assertions by legal reasons that no need has been shown for further KPL construction at the energy center.
No charges will be filed in the case, police said. The bus, which belonged to the Sterling Acres Baptist Church in Independence, Mo., was carrying an estimated 40 persons to the
crusaded. Authorities said the bus lost its brakes about 6 p.m. and overturned on a ramp.
POLICE SAID six persons remained hospitalized after the couple injured was Gladys Freed, 66, who is listed in fair condition in the intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital in Chicago.
Injuries ranged from minor to serious. Some passengers suffered broken bones, broken teeth, and even broken fingers.
The bus was impounded at a police garage.
THE NEW plant can be expanded to include a third and fourth generating unit, but further expansion is not part of the rate increase request.
KPL also rejected the consumer group's contention that the utility's rate of return should be limited to 9 percent, rather than the requested 8.43 percent.
The KCC approved the higher figure as the proper rate of return during KPL's last year. The KCC approved the lower figure.
"To suggest a return lower than that at this time would be at variance with previous commission orders and ignores present interest rates on borrowed money.
WE NEED CERTAIN COLLEGE MAJORS TO BECOME AIR FORCE LIEUTENANTS
Mechanical and electrical engineering majors, aerodynamics and environmental engineering majors, chemistry majors, and computer science majors will be able to use computers to young men and women as well as people of all ages. These people may be you, being the two or three year AP PROGRAM students. And to help you with the college journey, this year your GE coursebook could be purchased.
The AMCRO program works to an Air Force command. That means event support starts salary promotion, medical and dental leave 30 days and evaluates each year. But more than that it has a very specific mission: to help civilians with a chance to choose their country with pride. You know about the Air Force MOCR schooling. It is a great way to gain experience. Most Air force majors want more air jobs. You become an Air Force major soon.
