Collier Electric Co. et al. 39
Fort Morgan ..------------------------------------- $1, 630
Sterling------- --------------------------------- , 505
Sidney__ 1, 505
Sidney------------------------------------------1, 505
Kimball------------------------------------------- 890
Total--------- ----------------------------- 5, 530
1 If the allocation for the monthly charges was made by A. T. & T., it would be:
Sterling ------------------------------------------------- $1, 094. 17
Sidney 1, --------------------------------1 666. 67
Kimball ------------------------------------------------- 2, 769. 17
Total (Sic $0.01) -------------------------------- 5, 530. 00
The termination charge, the initial amount of which would be reduced
one thirty-sixth for each month the arrangement remained in effect,
would apply only if the customer terminated the service within 3
years. If this contingent termination charge was apportioned all at
one time, without any reduction of the liability on the basis of one
thirty-sixth each month, it would be as follows:
Fort Morgan ------------------------------------$24, 600
Sterling ----------------------------------------21, 825
Sidney -----------------------------------------21, 825
Kimball -----------------------------------------18, 500
Total ---------------------------------------86, 750
1 If the allocation for the full termination charge was made by A. T. & T. without any
reduction on the basis of one thirty-sixth each month, it would be broken down as follows:
Sterling ------------------------------------------------- $16, 275. 00
Sidney -------------------------------------------------- 24, 626. 00
Kimball ------------------------------------------------- 45, 950.00
Total -------------------------------- -----------86, 851.00
The allocations made by A. T. & T. are obviously in error, being an overstatement of
$101 (Tr. 376).
There is another factor that enters into the charges that will be made
by A. T. & T. and that is any rent that the Telephone Company is re-
quired to pay for the land, towers, buildings, and other equipment
of Collier Electric that it chooses to use would be passed on to the
Telephone Company customers. While there exists no lease arrange-
ment between Collier Electric and A. T. & T., one of the partners of
the former estimated that the additional cost arising from a lease
agreement would increase the total monthly costs to $7,150 and, like-
wise, there would be an increase in the total termination charge of
$42,900. These charges are all predicated upon the the condition that
the land, buildings, towers, antenna mountings and reflectors at Fort
Morgan, Sterling, and Sidney, would be provided by Collier Electric
for the Telephone Company's use under some lease arrangement, the
rent for which would be charged to the customer.
30. Any comparison of the proposed rates by both Collier Electric
and A. T. & T. leads to the inevitable fact that the charges for the
proposed service by A. T. & T. will be higher than those presented by
the partnership.
