Passengers and Passenger Revenuo- Case rand Case middotII

Adult Passengers and Revenue

Because of the method of fare collection the company does not main-

t[in records of passengers carried HowErVer it does maintain a daily record

of cash fares and token fares This revenue informationi s used herein in

conjunction with a traffic check which ltlas m~de to determine the n~ber of

passengers by zones The traffic check was conducted in 1950 in connection

with Application No 32335 and the resulting percentage distribution by zones

of adult passengers is sho1rm in Column 1 of the following tabulation The

column to the right shows the percentage distribution used in this reportwhich

has been adjusted to reflect variation in diminution by zones and in the trea tshy

ment of certain passengers handled to Hollywood Park

estimated adult revenue passengers for the twelve-month period ending ~

October 311955 under prosent fares are135363000 andare shown in the

chart at m1dpqint of the rate year Token use under present fares was

estimated to be 35 in each of the four zones The diminution or loss of

passengers due to increased fares was estimated to be 25 of the percentage

incrbase in the fare involved The estimated 135363000 adult passengers

developed in Chart 2 are also shown in Table 1 Coi1lffiIl 5 Line 13 and flrEl

distributed to the various zones on the basis of the percentages shown in

the above tabulation

Hollywood Park passengers are esti~ated to be 200000 annually

and the fare for these passengers is 10~ Although these Hollylood Park

passeng~rs may originate in the dOlntown area they become in essence new

passengers when they board the Hollywood Park Line since they have no transshy

fer privileges Adult passengers and revenue (shown in detail in Table 1)

Token Adjustment

It is estimated that based upon tho present experience of applishy

cant three tokens out of 1000 tokens sold or 0356middot will never be redeemed

This amount will be considered as an added revenue and is estimated at

$20000 under present fares

Other Revenue

From such sources as rent interest on franchise bonds charter

advertising and miscellaneous there is an estimat~d rovenue of $187000

under all cases

Revenue under Case II - Proposed Motor Coach Substitution (Application No 35728)

UnderCas8s II-A and II-B proposed motor coach substitution the

estimated rovenue will be the same as in Cases I-A and I-B respectively

Operating and Maintenance Expenses -- Case I

Estimates of operating and maintenance expenses are shown in

Table 3

General

Unless otherwise stated in the following paragraphs operating

and maintenance expenses are based on experience and conditions currently

prevailing In estimating operating and maintenance expenses it is

estimated that 100 new 48-passenger diesel coaches will start operating

at the beginning of the rate year replacing older coaches now in

operation These new coaches will slightly increase the fleet cost of

tires and substantially decrease the cost of Account No 4140 - Maintenance

Expense

Wages All wages are included in the detailed estimates

shown in Table 3 at the level prevailing immediately

prior to ~ 1 1954

Wage Increase The wage increase which becomes fully

effective on December 1 1954 is sh~m separately

on Line 12 in Table 10 Results of Operation

Fuel The cost of fuel is based upon the current level

of costs including an ircrease in the Sales Tax

on diesel of 05 effective July 1 1954 for

the City of Los Angeles

Tires The unit cost of tires is based on that prevailing

under contract for the period July 1 to Decernber-31

Operating Expenses - Case II

Case II - Operating expenses are shown in detail in Table 11

and are based on operations of Casc I adjusted to reflect the estimated

decrease in rail expenses due to the abandOnroent of lItrEiet car operations

as proposed in Application No 35728 the increase in motor coach expenses

re~uired by the substitution of motor coach service for street car service

and the increase in trolley coach expense due to the conversion of Line

Rate Base and Depreciation Expense

In General

In accnrdance wi th current Cornmi ssion practice of treating all

property en a remaining life basis the Commission Staff has made an

analysis of Applicont1s property As 0 rosult as of January 1 1954

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

Under both Cpses I and II 100 nel motor coaches have been included

in the rate base as of November 1 1954 tho beginning of the rate ye~r

Other Lpnd (Acct bull 503) and Rights of Way (Acct 502) hewe been

adjusted to reflect estimated original cost

Under Cese I

150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

Staff Witness Hibbards Exhibit ith 10 f ~r spares

All property on group plan depreciation reflects the current

4 rate of accrual with nermal additions and retiroMents tken into considerashy

Under Case II

As evidenced by correspondenco betoJeen the Commission and

Applicant and the request for changes in accounting practices as outlined

in a letter from the Applicant to the Commission under date of April 291954

it is assumed that applicant intends to completely convert to motor coach

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

boginning January 1 1954

150 coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series have been included in order

to satisfy oquipment requirements as outlined by Staff litness Hibbards 1

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

of cash fares and token fares This revenue informationi s used herein in

conjunction with a traffic check which ltlas m~de to determine the n~ber of

with Application No 32335 and the resulting percentage distribution by zones

of adult passengers is sho1rm in Column 1 of the following tabulation The

column to the right shows the percentage distribution used in this reportwhich

General

Unless otherwise stated in the following paragraphs operating

and maintenance expenses are based on experience and conditions currently

prevailing In estimating operating and maintenance expenses it is

estimated that 100 new 48-passenger diesel coaches will start operating

at the beginning of the rate year replacing older coaches now in

operation These new coaches will slightly increase the fleet cost of

tires and substantially decrease the cost of Account No 4140 - Maintenance

Expense

Wages All wages are included in the detailed estimates

shown in Table 3 at the level prevailing immediately

prior to ~ 1 1954

Wage Increase The wage increase which becomes fully

effective on December 1 1954 is sh~m separately

Fuel The cost of fuel is based upon the current level

of costs including an ircrease in the Sales Tax

on diesel of 05 effective July 1 1954 for

the City of Los Angeles

Operating Expenses - Case II

Case II - Operating expenses are shown in detail in Table 11

and are based on operations of Casc I adjusted to reflect the estimated

decrease in rail expenses due to the abandOnroent of lItrEiet car operations

as proposed in Application No 35728 the increase in motor coach expenses

re~uired by the substitution of motor coach service for street car service

and the increase in trolley coach expense due to the conversion of Line

Rate Base and Depreciation Expense

In General

In accnrdance wi th current Cornmi ssion practice of treating all

property en a remaining life basis the Commission Staff has made an

analysis of Applicont1s property As 0 rosult as of January 1 1954

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

Under both Cpses I and II 100 nel motor coaches have been included

in the rate base as of November 1 1954 tho beginning of the rate ye~r

Other Lpnd (Acct bull 503) and Rights of Way (Acct 502) hewe been

adjusted to reflect estimated original cost

Under Cese I

150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

Staff Witness Hibbards Exhibit ith 10 f ~r spares

All property on group plan depreciation reflects the current

4 rate of accrual with nermal additions and retiroMents tken into considerashy

tion

The 40 P C C crrs on uni t plan depreCiation wore extended as

of Innuary 1 1954 to a total life of 25 years

Under Case II

As evidenced by correspondenco betoJeen the Commission and

Applicant and the request for changes in accounting practices as outlined

in a letter from the Applicant to the Commission under date of April 291954

it is assumed that applicant intends to completely convert to motor coach

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

Adult Passengers and Revenue

Because of the method of fare collection the company does not main-

t[in records of passengers carried HowErVer it does maintain a daily record

of cash fares and token fares This revenue informationi s used herein in

conjunction with a traffic check which ltlas m~de to determine the n~ber of

passengers by zones The traffic check was conducted in 1950 in connection

with Application No 32335 and the resulting percentage distribution by zones

of adult passengers is sho1rm in Column 1 of the following tabulation The

column to the right shows the percentage distribution used in this reportwhich

has been adjusted to reflect variation in diminution by zones and in the trea tshy

Token Adjustment

It is estimated that based upon tho present experience of applishy

cant three tokens out of 1000 tokens sold or 0356middot will never be redeemed

This amount will be considered as an added revenue and is estimated at

$20000 under present fares

Other Revenue

From such sources as rent interest on franchise bonds charter

advertising and miscellaneous there is an estimat~d rovenue of $187000

under all cases

Revenue under Case II - Proposed Motor Coach Substitution (Application No 35728)

UnderCas8s II-A and II-B proposed motor coach substitution the

estimated rovenue will be the same as in Cases I-A and I-B respectively

Operating and Maintenance Expenses -- Case I

Estimates of operating and maintenance expenses are shown in

Table 3

General

Unless otherwise stated in the following paragraphs operating

and maintenance expenses are based on experience and conditions currently

prevailing In estimating operating and maintenance expenses it is

estimated that 100 new 48-passenger diesel coaches will start operating

at the beginning of the rate year replacing older coaches now in

operation These new coaches will slightly increase the fleet cost of

tires and substantially decrease the cost of Account No 4140 - Maintenance

Expense

Wages All wages are included in the detailed estimates

shown in Table 3 at the level prevailing immediately

prior to ~ 1 1954

Wage Increase The wage increase which becomes fully

effective on December 1 1954 is sh~m separately

on Line 12 in Table 10 Results of Operation

Fuel The cost of fuel is based upon the current level

of costs including an ircrease in the Sales Tax

on diesel of 05 effective July 1 1954 for

the City of Los Angeles

Tires The unit cost of tires is based on that prevailing

under contract for the period July 1 to Decernber-31

1954 The estimate of the cost of tires reflects the

From 1953 Annual Report to the Insurance Department State of California The present premium rate charged by Transit Casualty Company to applicant is 7 of passenger revenue In this report as in pre~ous reports the estimate of the Commissions staff has been predicated on unit costs related to the number of passengers carried and tho vehicle miles operated The estimate for Case I is shown in Table 5

Operating Expenses - Case II

Case II - Operating expenses are shown in detail in Table 11

and are based on operations of Casc I adjusted to reflect the estimated

decrease in rail expenses due to the abandOnroent of lItrEiet car operations

as proposed in Application No 35728 the increase in motor coach expenses

re~uired by the substitution of motor coach service for street car service

and the increase in trolley coach expense due to the conversion of Line

No 41 from motor coach operation to trolley coach operation with a

corresponding decrease in motor coach expenses

Rate Base and Depreciation Expense

In General

In accnrdance wi th current Cornmi ssion practice of treating all

property en a remaining life basis the Commission Staff has made an

analysis of Applicont1s property As 0 rosult as of January 1 1954

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

Under both Cpses I and II 100 nel motor coaches have been included

in the rate base as of November 1 1954 tho beginning of the rate ye~r

Other Lpnd (Acct bull 503) and Rights of Way (Acct 502) hewe been

adjusted to reflect estimated original cost

Under Cese I

150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

Staff Witness Hibbards Exhibit ith 10 f ~r spares

All property on group plan depreciation reflects the current

Under Case II

As evidenced by correspondenco betoJeen the Commission and

Applicant and the request for changes in accounting practices as outlined

in a letter from the Applicant to the Commission under date of April 291954

it is assumed that applicant intends to completely convert to motor coach

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

boginning January 1 1954

150 coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series have been included in order

to satisfy oquipment requirements as outlined by Staff litness Hibbards 1

Unless otherwise stated in the following paragraphs operating

and maintenance expenses are based on experience and conditions currently

prevailing In estimating operating and maintenance expenses it is

estimated that 100 new 48-passenger diesel coaches will start operating

at the beginning of the rate year replacing older coaches now in

operation These new coaches will slightly increase the fleet cost of

tires and substantially decrease the cost of Account No 4140 - Maintenance

Rate Base and Depreciation Expense

In General

In accnrdance wi th current Cornmi ssion practice of treating all

property en a remaining life basis the Commission Staff has made an

analysis of Applicont1s property As 0 rosult as of January 1 1954

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

Under both Cpses I and II 100 nel motor coaches have been included

in the rate base as of November 1 1954 tho beginning of the rate ye~r

Other Lpnd (Acct bull 503) and Rights of Way (Acct 502) hewe been

adjusted to reflect estimated original cost

Under Cese I

150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

Staff Witness Hibbards Exhibit ith 10 f ~r spares

All property on group plan depreciation reflects the current

Under Case II

As evidenced by correspondenco betoJeen the Commission and

Applicant and the request for changes in accounting practices as outlined

in a letter from the Applicant to the Commission under date of April 291954

it is assumed that applicant intends to completely convert to motor coach

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

boginning January 1 1954

150 coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series have been included in order

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

Operating and Maintenance Expenses -- Case I

Estimates of operating and maintenance expenses are shown in

Table 3

General

Unless otherwise stated in the following paragraphs operating

and maintenance expenses are based on experience and conditions currently

prevailing In estimating operating and maintenance expenses it is

estimated that 100 new 48-passenger diesel coaches will start operating

at the beginning of the rate year replacing older coaches now in

operation These new coaches will slightly increase the fleet cost of

tires and substantially decrease the cost of Account No 4140 - Maintenance

Expense

Wages All wages are included in the detailed estimates

shown in Table 3 at the level prevailing immediately

prior to ~ 1 1954

Wage Increase The wage increase which becomes fully

effective on December 1 1954 is sh~m separately

on Line 12 in Table 10 Results of Operation

Fuel The cost of fuel is based upon the current level

of costs including an ircrease in the Sales Tax

on diesel of 05 effective July 1 1954 for

the City of Los Angeles

Tires The unit cost of tires is based on that prevailing

under contract for the period July 1 to Decernber-31

1954 The estimate of the cost of tires reflects the

estimated higher unit middot tire cost per mile for the

loa ne coaches which are to be put in operation at

the beginning of the rate year

Operating Expenses - Case II

Case II - Operating expenses are shown in detail in Table 11

and are based on operations of Casc I adjusted to reflect the estimated

decrease in rail expenses due to the abandOnroent of lItrEiet car operations

as proposed in Application No 35728 the increase in motor coach expenses

re~uired by the substitution of motor coach service for street car service

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

Under both Cpses I and II 100 nel motor coaches have been included

in the rate base as of November 1 1954 tho beginning of the rate ye~r

adjusted to reflect estimated original cost

Under Cese I

150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

in a letter from the Applicant to the Commission under date of April 291954

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

boginning January 1 1954

150 coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series have been included in order

to satisfy oquipment requirements as outlined by Staff litness Hibbards 1

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

Rate Base and Depreciation Expense

In General

In accnrdance wi th current Cornmi ssion practice of treating all

property en a remaining life basis the Commission Staff has made an

analysis of Applicont1s property As 0 rosult as of January 1 1954

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

Under both Cpses I and II 100 nel motor coaches have been included

in the rate base as of November 1 1954 tho beginning of the rate ye~r

Other Lpnd (Acct bull 503) and Rights of Way (Acct 502) hewe been

adjusted to reflect estimated original cost

Under Cese I

150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

Staff Witness Hibbards Exhibit ith 10 f ~r spares

All property on group plan depreciation reflects the current

4 rate of accrual with nermal additions and retiroMents tken into considerashy

tion

The 40 P C C crrs on uni t plan depreCiation wore extended as

of Innuary 1 1954 to a total life of 25 years

Under Case II

As evidenced by correspondenco betoJeen the Commission and

Applicant and the request for changes in accounting practices as outlined

in a letter from the Applicant to the Commission under date of April 291954

it is assumed that applicant intends to completely convert to motor coach

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

boginning January 1 1954

150 coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series have been included in order

In accnrdance wi th current Cornmi ssion practice of treating all

property en a remaining life basis the Commission Staff has made an

analysis of Applicont1s property As 0 rosult as of January 1 1954

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

Under both Cpses I and II 100 nel motor coaches have been included

in the rate base as of November 1 1954 tho beginning of the rate ye~r

Other Lpnd (Acct bull 503) and Rights of Way (Acct 502) hewe been

adjusted to reflect estimated original cost

Under Cese I

150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

Staff Witness Hibbards Exhibit ith 10 f ~r spares

All property on group plan depreciation reflects the current

4 rate of accrual with nermal additions and retiroMents tken into considerashy

in a letter from the Applicant to the Commission under date of April 291954

it is assumed that applicant intends to completely convert to motor coach

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

boginning January 1 1954

150 coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series have been included in order

to satisfy oquipment requirements as outlined by Staff litness Hibbards 1

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

boginning January 1 1954

150 coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series have been included in order

to satisfy oquipment requirements as outlined by Staff litness Hibbards 1

In General

In accnrdance wi th current Cornmi ssion practice of treating all

property en a remaining life basis the Commission Staff has made an

analysis of Applicont1s property As 0 rosult as of January 1 1954

1 Motor coaches of the series 6200 6300 6600 6700 6800

and 6900 (404 coaches) were put on a total life basis of

12 years This is considered reasonable in view of the

attained age and the condition of the fleet

2 The annual accrual of the Genoral Office Building (Acct 522)

was adjusted to reflect a totel life of 50 years

3 Buildings in Accounts 523 and 524 were assigned a remaining

life of 24 years with depreciation reserve adjusted to reflect

age-life condition

Under both Cpses I and II 100 nel motor coaches have been included

in the rate base as of November 1 1954 tho beginning of the rate ye~r

Other Lpnd (Acct bull 503) and Rights of Way (Acct 502) hewe been

adjusted to reflect estimated original cost

Under Cese I

150 motor coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series (including current

work orders for rebuilding) have boen deleted due to the inclusion of the

100 new coaches as well as tc conform to the equipment roquirements set forth in

Staff Witness Hibbards Exhibit ith 10 f ~r spares

All property on group plan depreciation reflects the current

4 rate of accrual with nermal additions and retiroMents tken into considerashy

tion

of Innuary 1 1954 to a total life of 25 years

12 shy

Under Case II

As evidenced by correspondenco betoJeen the Commission and

Applicant and the request for changes in accounting practices as outlined

in a letter from the Applicant to the Commission under date of April 291954

it is assumed that applicant intends to completely convert to motor coach

operation by the end of 1965 The Rate Base under Case II assumes that all

property relnted to the rail and trolley coach oper2tion ltlill be fully

depreciated by that time This would include all rel~ted items of property

hitherto considered non-dopreciable those rel~ted ~o the present proposed

conversion havo been charged to the group plan depreciation reserve as of

November I 1954 those remaining 2xe depreciated over ~ 12 year period

boginning January 1 1954

150 coaches of the 6000 and 6100 series have been included in order

to satisfy oquipment requirements as outlined by Staff litness Hibbards 1

Exhibit No The work orders for rebuilding 83 of those coachos have

been put on a 3 year lifo (Soc Chart 5)
