about permanent and lasting results.
We realize that the interests of this
company in your community can be
satisfactorily promoted only by work
ing in harmony with the people Of the
city, and we regret very much the
present misunderstanding by number
of the people ln your community of
the motives and attitude of this com
pany toward them The recent read
lustment of electric rates made by as
in Hood River was absolutely neces-
sary 10 do away with existing unfair
and improper discrimination among
your people, and was made Tor no other
purpose. The next result of this read
justment was to cheaper the service 60
a large number Of the users of elec-
tricity and to establish rates which we
believe are fair and equitable TO all.
We are working constantly toward
economy in operation and assure you
ana the people of Hood River that
whenever the service can be furnished
at lower rates, tie cost of the service
to the people will be Immediately re-
dueed and every customer given the
advantage therof.
We shall appreciate any action that
you or your committee may take tt
make our proposition plain to the
people of Hood River and trust that
you will be able to work out a prompt
and satisfactory solution of the city's
present problem.
