The Attomej General’s office i filed reports on its investigation of J the rate increase and investigation J by C.W. Amos, a Richmond-based | consulting firm. These reports will • be presented at the SCO’s public ! hearing December 7. {

According to the Attorney Gen- J eral’s office Potomac Edison re- j quested rates that would allow the • company between 11.5 and 12.5 per- ! cent profit. The lower increase pro- J posed by the office would allow only J 9135 to 10.35 percent profit. This ac- * counts for most of the difference be- ! tween the rates requested by the I company and those recommended by J the Attorney General’s office. J

Also the office is recommending • that figures to estimate “production ■ maintenance expenses” be reduced ! and that the higher rates be spread ! more evenly between the different J types of utility customers.
