ABOUT 6 CENTS.

ABOUT 6 CENTS.
 Upwards of 69 per cent of our total output of electricity is used for POWER purposes, leaving only about 31 per cent used for lighting.
 The 69 per cent of the output sold at power rates, running from 214 to 10 cents per kilOwatt hour, brings us an average price of close to 3 cents kilowatt hour.
 The remaining 31 per cent of our output is used for lighting. A little more than half of it is sold for residence lighting at 1872 cents kilOwatt hour, and the remainder-abOut 40 per cent-is sold for business lighting at 10 cents.
 The reason for the lighting rates being higher than the power rates lies in the in- creased cost of distribution, and because practically all of the lighting is done during less than four hours out of each 24, averaging the entire year.
 Electric rates in themselves compose a problem upon which the greatest variety of expert opinion exists. There are scores of methods of charging and scarcely any two electric service organizations in the United States have rates worked out in the same manner.
 For this reason alone the accurate com parisOn of electric service rates is very difficult, if not impossible. It is labor of months upon the part of an expert to classify the rates of two dozen cities, reduce them to a common standard and contrast them on an equitable basis.
 Every local condition must be considered in comparing electric service rates.
 Such things as the relative density of population, the cost of fuel or power, the cost of equipment, supplies, material and labor; the quantity of electricity sold per capita, per mile of distributing system and per kilOwatt plant capacity; the times of the day and night when the various pro- portions of energy are demanded; difficult

A. & C. WELL.

\ The new well for the A. & C. rail- road and the town of Parker is nov down forty feet and the end is not vet in sight. Frank Willis is superin- tendent of the work and is doing an excellent job, but is getting awful tired looking for water while sinking within loo feet of the river. This must seem queer to the reader, but. is neverthe- less d fact. The well, which is twenty five feet below the water of the river is now making only little more than fifty gallons minute. The well is twenty feet in diameter within the ce- ment caisson. After passing through several feet of alluvial deposit in the beginning a cement foundation was en- countered. This formation runs in horizontal layers of various thicknesses between which the water percolates. sinking will be continued until 150 or 200 inches of water steady flow is se cured.

Our Rates for Electric Service

to DUPLICATE a heavy investment which as it stands is fully equal to meet all demands made upon it for electric light and power.
 They want to use public funds to com pete with a progressive, efficient and req sonably disposed company, which has been assured bv the United States Government that it will have the exclusive right to RETAIL in Phoenix one-fifteenth of the estimated electric power to be developed by the Salt River irrigation prOject-in consideration of paying the WHOLESALE price for power demanded by the govern ment, and giving up important and valua bic water power rights on the Arizona Canal.
 The sum which we will pay the govern nlent for power the first year will amount to $60,0O0 or more. This money and all similar payments go to the Reclamation Service to help defrav the cost of the irri- gation project.
 Would this money be going into the Rec lamation Fund now if the Pacific Gas & Electric Company had not provided mar ket for the power, surrendered valuable rights, abandoned two hydrO-electric power houses and paid the government what it asked for the electrical energy supplied?
 When men who know nothing whatever about the electrical business attempt to analyze electric rates they usually make very misleading statements.
 For instance, an orator at a recent meet ing sOr Int to determine the average rate paid , ALL electric energy sold by our company by averaging the residence and business LIGHTING rates. He pro- duced result more than double the true figure

GOOD OLD OYSTER PIE.

In the old time shallow pudding dish was lined with good puff paste. filled with crusts of bread, these GOV cred with a top of the paste. and baked The edges of the dish were buttered so that the crust would not adhere to them too closely. and when the paste was baked this top was lift ed off carefully. the bread crusts re- moved. and in their place put oysters prepared just as for oyster scallops. except that the oysters were allowed to cook in the sauce for three min utes after they went in. Then the crust was laid back on the dish and the whole sent to the table. The ar gument against lining the pie-dish with raw paste. putting in the un- cooked oysters and baking all toseth- CT. was that by the time the paste was ready to eat, the oysters were over done and insipid.

We have been accused of demanding unfair rates for electric service. Many erroneous statements have been made about our rates and many unjust comparl- sons made with the rates charged in other localities where the conditions are vitally different.
 Last summer we met representatives of the Commercial Club and business men and fully discussed FACTS, figures and conditions We agreed to heavy re- duction in electric lighting rates effective August l. We kept our agreement to the letter.
 At that time the members of the Com mercial Club who looked over our state ments publicly announced that they were satisfied with the new arrangement and considered it highly desirable for the peo- pie of this community.
 We offered to meet the,tommercial Club and representative interests at the end of six months, if such demand existed, and to confer again regarding the adjustment of rates. We made 1t plain that we were willing to repeat this method of friendly settlement until all differences of opinion were harmoniOusly compromised. DOES THIS PROPOSITION NOT STRIKE YOU AS FAIR AND REA- SONABLE?
 Does it look to you as if we were trying to ''rob" the people as orators in the present campaign charge-or that we are anxious to do business in a square, straight forward way, expecting. only to earn req sonable profit9
 Instead of any attempt to meet with the company to consider rate matters, the small group of men who are fighting us and trying to wreck our property, have started movement for COMPETITIVE municipal ownership.
 These men want you to spend the peo- ple's money and use the peoples credit

ties of financing and obtaining money; the character and quality of the service rem dered; all questions relating to readiness tO-serve and minimum charges; graduated scales of rates; graduated scales of dis counts; questions of maximum demand. ratios of demand to installation, etc. are only few of the many facts which must be obtained and studied.
 Our rate of 1 11h cents a kilowatt hour. paid to the government for electrical ener- gy, is merely a WHOLESALE price repre- senting an operating cost with no invest ment charges whatever for our sulbstation and steam auxiliary plants taken into con sideratiOn.
 For every kilowatt hour of government power which we deliver to the consumer we absorb high per centage of loss At the subStatiOn about 20 per cent of the electrical energy is lost through transform ing and preparing the current for local use and distribution. In distributing there is a further loss of about p per cent, as nearly as can be ascertained.
 The result of these station and distrib- uting losses practically doubles the whole sale rate of 11a cents which we pay the government.
 In addition must come the cost of dis tributiOn, the general costs of operation and the investment charges which include interest, depreciation taxes, etc.-all serv- ing to bring the cost of the electricity DELIVERED to the consumer from one to eight times the rate of 115 cents which we pay the government.
 A little careful thought given to the above facts may cause you to take a some what different view of our electric rates. The facts should convince you that the making of electric rates is subject which should be handled by men who are able to give great deal of time and study to the problem.
