last evening on the criticisms made by
the evening papers in connection with
his company's announcement of a
lower schedule of rates, effective Aug
ust first, said the criticisms were not
unexpected, though they were unjust.
Concerning the animation that he had
been forced to make the new schedule
by the announced intention of certain
gentlemen to apply for a franchise, it
is a matter of common knowledge that
months ago he announced that such a
schedule would be made before his
company began the use of government
power, and he was only carrying out
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1909-06-02

his own plans, regardless of what any
body else is doing.
Concerning the other charge, that the
new schedule makes no material re-
duction to the consumer, there is little
use to talk If people refuse to read
figures or figure for themselves.
Nevertheless he would like to make a
more specific statement for the benefit
of some patrons who might be misled
He said that during the month of May
the company served I'LL electric light
patrons. OF these 1913 had special dis
counts of from 10 to so per cent, which
have been heretofore explained. Some
months the patrons whose bills never
exceed the minimum of $3.50 might
number $50 and in the winter time
there are few whose bills do not eX
coed the minimum. One hundred
would be fair average of the mini
mum rate patrons the year round. Sub
tracing this 100 and the 103 patrons
leaves 9OS patrons who, had the new
schedule been in force in May, would
have had the benefit of a flat reduc
ton of 25 per cent, or the difference
between a zoe and a 15c rate. Had
this schedule been in force in May the
total saving to the consumers for that
month would have been $4,000. May
is a large business month and in fair
ness could not be taken as an average
for the year, but in his opinion the
saving to consumers in a year by the
new schedule would easily aggregate
$4,000. Under the new schedule there
will be many added to the list of min
imum rate patrons who now pay more,
and some who are well within that
rate can utilize more lamp hours with
out exceeding it.

men of the country declare they feel
