COMMISSION ORDERS
 NEW RATES INTO EFFECT
New Rate for Cooking Electricity Goes Into Effect

Believing it d benefit locally both to the company and to the consum- CTS of electricity that the rates ap piled for by the Pacific Gas and Electric company be allowed to stand and become active for cooking pur- poses, the commission issued yester- day their permit for the issuing of the rates, and ordered the rates which they thought equitable for this class of electricity.
 The application of the Pacific Gas and Electric company to the corpora- ton commission praying that a rate on electricity for cooking purposes be authorized by the commission was filed the seventh day of October, 1913, and the comm mission deeming it a matter of which notice of hearing was unnecessary, an immediate hear ing was had thereon.
 From the evidence introduced as such hearing the commission found:
 | That there is an increasing ten
 iency on the part of consumers to use electric cooking utensils;
 2. That electricity for cooking pur- poses can be supplied at the rate
 of 6c per XVIII at approximately the average profit which is derived from the company's existing rates for Oth- CT classes of service;
 .. That such electricity for such purposes is supplied principally al hours of the day when the plant ol the applicant is not fully loaded, such service being designated off peak service:
 i. That the current consumed shal be measured through separate meters.
 The commission has therefore or Gered that the Pacific Gas and Elec- l trio company shall make, charge ;lnc collect for electricity used for cook | ing purposes where separate meter: are installed to measure the same rates according to the followina | schedule, toWit:
 l 16 KWHs or less. per month, $1Oo | Over 16 KWH's, per XVII, .06. 1 This rate shall take effect and b.
 in force from and after the frs day of october, 1913.
