Showing utter disregard for the

Fine for Little House Owner
The discussion of the munich
pal plant business by the electri-
clans yesterday showed the COM
mission that the little householder
with his small light bill is today
practically running the plant, pay
ing all fixed charges, and that he
will continue to do SO and will
eventually pay off the bonds.
With this situation before them.
the commission put the power
rates so low that 1t will attract
new business. And all the new
business will be Just that much
additional revenue with little in
crease in the cost of operation.
The cooking and domestic use
rate, which is also to be made In
the next week or so, will further
add to the revenues without in
creasing the cost.
In short, the council is adopting
rates on business basis.
City Using Little Light.
AS shown by the electricians.
the present light uesrs are only
using the city current on about a
30 per cent load factor. For more
than two-thirds of the time the
city current is lying on the wires
idle.
IL the city can get the house
wife to use this current in the
daytime for cooking, washing.
sewing and for other domestic
purposes they will then be selling
1t twice where they sell it once
now.
The same is true OF the manu-
featuring plants. They will use
the juice in the daytime that
business houses use at night for
light. This is what builds up
the load factor and piles up prof
its for a power and light business.
Fine judgement.
The commission has gotten on
to the game through calling ex-
perts, and the rats 1t is making
now are not only lower than any
one else has ever offered, but
they are high enough to give the
city fine revenue.
In adopting the rates the COM
mission has shown the finest
piece of real business Judgment
ever exhibited In this municipality.
