MOUNT bills as $6.23 more a month In summer or a 14 percent increase, and $4.63 more a month in winter months or an increase of 11.24 percent. The typical residential customer usage is 500 kilowatt hours of electric power a month. has already received approval for 60 million of the $173 million sought.

This Interim increase, granted by the state Board of Public Utilities in May, raised residential customers' charges by $1 month, according to Dawson. The BPU is scheduled to rule on the levelized energy adjustment request this week. So far, here's where the board, the Public Advocate's Office and the administrative judge stand on the request: The Public Advocate's Office wants rates reduced by $2.3 million. An administrative judge has said no to the request, but he can be overruled by BPU. This week, BPU will hear the utility's base rate increase request.

last asked for a levelized energy adjustment boost of $142 million. It was granted $118 million in two Installments: $84 million in March and $34 million in April, adding $1.67 to residential customers' monthly bills. According to Dawson, the average residential customer charge has gone up by 32 percent since the Three Mile Island accident in 1979. And no respite from lofty rates is in sight: has acknowledged it needs $4 billion within the next five years to recover from Three Mile Island. Meanwhile, Atlantic Electric Co.

last week received the go-ahead to raise rates by $50.5 million, for a 16 percent increase in revenue. The increase would add $6 to the average residential customer's monthly charge. Atlantic Electric serves 352,000 customers in Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem counties and parts of Ocean, Gloucester, Camden and Burlington counties. In granting the increase, BPU also agreed to consider a proposal that the utility set Its rates so that the casino industry would bear much of the burden of the rate boost. The public advocate's office had contended that "the casinos are the prime reason demand is going up" in the area served by the utility.

New Jersey Natural Gas Co. The gas company wants to pass along the rising cost of natural gas to its customers. It is asking for a $27.8 million increase, or an overall 18 percent rise in customer's bills. The Public Advocate's Office and the utility have tentatively agreed to shave $1 million from the request. The American Gas Association predicts that despite an adequate supply of natural gas all around the country, prices will rise about 15 percent annually due to deregulation.

Utilities, however, are under a federal mandate to make industry, rather than residential customers, absorb more of the higher cost of gas. Thus, said Dawson, the impact of a rate increase by New Jersey Natural Gas will be heavier on the industrial or large user than on residential customers. The gas company has 220,000 customers in Monmouth, Ocean, Morris and Cape May counties. New Jersey Bell Telephone Co. The telephone company In February filed for a $207.3 million rate increase which would: raise the basic exchange rate for residential customers by 25 percent.

activate pay phones with a quarter instead of a dime. make customers pay for directory assistance. boost charges for "vertical service" to businesses and for telephone hook-ups. The request was partially settled Sept. 3 when the utility and BPU agreed on a list of stipulations amounting to a $127 million increase, Dawson said.

"The hearings are over and the briefs are coming in and there are still other issues that have to be agreed upon," he added. Dawson said New Jersey Bell's rate request is expected to be settled by late fall or early winter, and could take effect Jan. 1981. THE BURDEN of the rising cost of energy is heaviest on the poor. According to a recent Energy Department study, low-income families will spend about 30 percent of their income on utility bills.

"The high energy costs are hardest on poor people because the amount of money they have is roughly the same as last year," said Camilo Vergara, in charge of the Inner City Program of the New Jersey Department of Energy. Vergara said the state's heating assistance programs for low-income people and for the elderly and disabled may not be able to assist all deserving residents. Press Staff Writer THIS WINTER beleaguered energy consumers can be spared uncertainty over adequate supplies of fuel. But they still face the problem of whether they can afford it So far, oil and gas supplies are more than adequate and should remain at relatively high levels in the coming winter months if the weather cooperates. But New Jersey consumers can't expect any reprieve from soaring bills for fuel, as well as telephone service.

Several requests for rate increases by utility coirjpanies are currently pending and one needs a score card to keep track of them. Here's how much more money three utilities Jersey Central Power Light New Jersey Natural Gas Co. and the New Jersey Telephone Co. want from their customers: Jersey Central Power Light Co. Current oil Inventories are about 12 percent above last year's at this time, mainly because of the mild winter and consumers' conservation efforts.

Yet New Jersey consumers cannot look forward to cheaper heating oil. JCPAL, which supplies electric power to 700,000 customers In the state, owns 25 percent of the disabled Three Mile Island nuclear generating station and all of the off-again-on-again Oyster Creek nuclear plant in Lacey Township. It is trying to recoup losses from buying expensive replacement energy from its customers at two fronts: One is through a $72 million increase, under the so-called "levelized energy adjustment clause," the other by raising its basic charge. The levelized energy adjustment clause enables the company to pass along to customers the higher cost of buying fuel. The proposed increase would add $3.17 a month to the average residential customer's bill.

Under the adjustment clause, utilities project what it will cost them to buy fuel for the next 12-month period, explains George Dawson, Board of Public Utilities spokesman. The companies, however, can file another request if they deem their forecast to be way off the mark. has also filed for a $173 million increase in its basic rates, which would be reflected in a typical residential customer's School and Rider College, Trenton.

Twelve of the wounded were reported in critical condition. The grenade attack came just hours after Prime Minister Robert Mugabe announced his government would dismantle assembly points in the bush and resettle 22,000 guer-Hilars near urban areas, including Salisbury.

The attackers raced their car into the parking lot of The Feather's Hotel just before midnight, lobbed grenades and fired into the packed hotel bar and then sped away, police said. The hotel in the northeastern suburb of Mabelreign is frequented by both whites and blacks, police said. The bar Door was covered with blood and the walls were riddled with bullet holes, police said. Investigators said shell casings found in the parking lot indicated the weapons used In the attack were Soviet AK-47 assualt rifles, the type used by black nationalist guerrillas here before Zimbabwe became an independent, black majority ruled nation last April. Police said they were unable to determine a motive for the attack.

Mugabe's government has tried to contain growing violence from bandits and disaffected black nationalist guerrillas housed in bush camps since the January cease-fire ended seven years of civil war. The decision to move guerrillas from the bush camps follows weeks of murders, attacks on white homesteads, assaults and other violence blamed on the guerrillas. Many guerrillas will be allowed to keep their weapons but will be housed in fenced compounds near this capital city and the second-largest city of Bulawayo, Mugabe told supporters at a rally yesterday. Four days of violence in the rich farming and gold mining district of Goromonzi culminated in Thursday's shooting death of a 25-year-old white farmer, Chris Johnson. He was a descendant of Maj.

Frank Johnson, who led the first white pioneers to what was then called Rhodesia in 1890. Bus strike settled The Associated Press NEW BRUNSWICK About 96 Suburban Transit Co. bus drivers ended their five-day strike last night and were expected to be back on the job for tomorrow morning's rush hour, a bus company spokesman said. Negotiators for Local 1589 of the United Transport Workers union and the company, which transports about 10,000 commuters from the Trenton-New Brunswick-Princeton area to New York City, reached an agreement about 7:30 p.m. yesterday, said dispatcher Jerry Leonard.

The drivers were to meet this morning to learn about the details of the contract, which already had been approved by their negotiators, according to Leonard. Leonard declined to release details ot the agreement. "All I can say Is there has been a settlement, and we will be back on a regular schedule Monday morning," he said. The drivers walked off the job at midnight Tuesday after refusing Suburban's lastest contract offer of almost 30 percent wage increases over three years.
