This amount is computed as follows: Interest from Aug. 1, 1945, to April 1, 1970 (24 years and 8 months) on $57,130,000 of series C bonds, $49,470,250, less interest on $57,130,000 of new 3% general mortgage, series G bonds from June 1, 1945, to April 1, 1970, after allowing for annual sinking fund retirements as well as premiums at scheduled redemption prices, $37,843,925, indicating an interest reduction of $11,626,325, from which should be deducted the expenses of $2,349,763, leaving a aet saving of $9,276,562. The applicant has included in its interest computations the interest on the $663,000 of bonds held and to be held in its treasuryIf the interest on such bonds is excluded from tfcc computations the net saving would be approximately $9,157,222. The applicant expects to benefit through deductions for income tax purposes to the extent of approximately $2,800,000. The net working cash balances of the applicant as of March 31, 1945, after allowing for outstanding and unpaid vouchers, pay drafts, dividend and interest checks, etc., was $40,500,000. After certain deductions amounting to $5,900,000 are made, a free balance of $34,bdO.OOO remains for cash requirements accrued prior to March 31, and to permit of compensating balances to depository banks, which to¬ gether total $44,000,000. In addition to the working cash balance indicated above, the applicant had liquid assets amounting to $149,434,000. It is considered desirable to maintain and augment these funds to enable the applicant to meet the uncertainties and con¬ tingencies that may arise in the near future, particularly during the post-war reconversion period. The total 1945 taxes payable, regardless ©/ earnings, will approximate $130,000,000, the greater portion of which is based on 1944 earnings and the applicant believes., it mu&t«d!we reserves of approximately a year's taxes to meet any slump or drop ifl business or reveneus.
