RATE EXPERT
ELUCIDATES
d. NJ. OSBORN OF THE w. w. p.
EXPLAINS MINIMUM
CHARGE
Discusses the Theory OF Rate Making
Before Group of University
Students

In his address to a group of uniyer-
born, commercial agent for the Wash
ington Water Power Co., reviewed
very briefly the development of serv-
ice rates, and discussed the theory OF
rate making.
Among the interesting things COW
cred in the talk was the minimum
charge. Mr.. Osborne explained that
much of the expense of operating an
electric light and power system goes
on continuously whether the consum-
ers take power or not, and that there
is a certain expense for interest on
equipment, bookkeeping, collecting
and so on, that must be met each
month just in order to be able to
serve customer, and even if he takes
no power. The minimum charge is in
tended to cover only that expense to
be met for the benefit of each Gus
toner in order that he may have
light or power when he wants it. He
said that the company actually loses
money on many consumers who go
very little above the minimum charge.
With regard to the power schedules
that enable a consumer of much pow
er to get a lower rate per kiloWatt
hour than the small consumer gets, he
explained that the user of much power
is no more expensive to keep books for
nor to collect from than is the small
one. that in his case the fixed ex-
penses are pro-rated over more pow
er. and that he shares the benefits OF
the production of a commodity in
large quantities and the relatively
lower cost of serving him in just the
same way that big buyers in other
fields do. He showed how, without
the big consumers on the system the
small consumer would have to pay |
more for his power and light, or go
without them.
The development of rate schedules
from the fiat rate of the early days
to the complex classifications of the /
present time was outlined.

only the Point Eagle was in the serv-

Germany will contend that the Eng

the Kaiser will advance some defense
for sinking the Manchester. There
were Americans aboard all the ships
