Edison company declares that his COM
pany will not Intentionally rebate" or
violate the ordinance in any way, and
that he considers the selling of ap-
plianceS to customers as a legitimate
proposition to increase consumption of
electrical energy. The city authorities
have drafted the following open letter
to citizens, in lieu of spending money
on legal proceedings:
To the Citizens of Pasadena-The
Southern California Edison COM
pany Is making a strenuous effort
to take consumers from the munic-
ipal plant. We do not feel that we
should waste an equal amount of
money in trying to counteract their
efforts. The success of the munic-
ipal lighting works depends entire
ly upon your civic pride and loyalty
to Pasadena's enterprises. We feel
that the municipal lighting works,
which is directly responsible for the
saving of not less than 100000 a
year to Pasadena citizens by reason
of reduced rates for electrical en-
ergX deserves loyalty that is akin
to patriotism. We must depend abb
solutely upon this kind of loyalty
to hold the customers of Pasadena's
lighting system.
Our CUSTOMERS are DelnS ofered
the use of various electrical ap-
pllances If they will cease taking
current from the city's plant-or
rather from their own plant-and
use that of the opposition. We con-
slider this "rebating," and we de-
sire to call your attention to this
fact. This policy is inaugurated for
the specific purpose of taking Gus
toners from the city's lighting
system.
Your plant Is earning all proper
charges against the investment, and
it must have the continuous patron
age of its owners to keep up the
standard it has set, and to main
tain the prestige that 1t has given
Pasadena in establishing a plant of
this character. and making it pay,
