President James E. Griffin
said the rate increase, which
would increase Company
revenue by about $1.3 million
on an annual basis, is needed
to recover increased costs of

Connecticut Valley does not

power needed to meet its
customers' demands. This
power is supplied by Central

Corporation which was
recently granted an increase
in its rate to Connecticut

Regulatory Commission,
according to Griffin.
Griffin said, "This increase
is needed to allow the Com-
pany to keep pace with rising
costs of purchased power.
This is the first purchased
power related increase of the
Company since August 1980."

"If we lose one American

December 1981 article in a
Singapore newspaper called
The Strait Times which
heralds the expiration of the
manufacturing clause as
"promising" news to
Singapore printers.
Thomson has written to

President James E. Griffin
said the rate increase, which
would increase Company
revenue by about $1.3 million
on an annual basis, is needed
to recover increased costs of
purchased power.
Connecticut Valley does not
have generating facilities of
its own and purchases the
power needed to meet its
customers' demands. This
power is supplied by Central
Vermont Public Service
Corporation which was
recently granted an increase
in its rate to Connecticut
Valley by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission,
according to Griffin.
Griffin said, "This increase
is needed to allow the Com-
pany to keep pace with rising
costs of purchased power.
This is the first purchased
power related increase of the
Company since August 1980."
The increase reportedly will
