Little Falls, Minn., Oct. 1s. 1916.
To the Common Council of the City OF
Little Falls:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, one of
the Electric Light Schedule committee,
would have much preferred to concur
wholly with the majority report of the
committee, but is unable to do so in
some respects. ~. H.. ....5%4E
He does not believe that the proposed
rates will make for a substantial de-
crease in the cost of electric lighting to
patrons generally. In the residence
lighting there is apparently a: general
decrease in those having An Installation
Of the average Of six lights or more, the
consumers being in number, al. OF those
having less than the average of six. they
win apparently either pay slight in
crease or remain as they are under the
minimum charge of one dollar per
month. In this class are numbered 81
consumers as against the 21s The num-
ber of exceptions in one class will no
doubt equal the number of those in the
other, so that this average seems rea-
sonable one. There are also about 30
consumers who are at this time on a
two-light fiat rate of 60 cents. If they 80
remain there will in effect be sixty-cent
schedule rate it is very apparent that
there will be an increase of 40 cents to
each of these patrons.
In the commercial class there is a to-
tai of 148 users. Taking the average Of
II drops and "a kilowatts consumed per
month shows q general increase. of 4S
cents to each patron. Taking this state
ment as an apparent fact and with the
statement that those having the larger
number of drops will be the greatest
gamers, although there are some. excep-
tions, it is obvious that those receiving
the benefits of the decrease Will come
from the class above the 12-drop aver
age; who numer ~, number Of which
are also increased. The users of over II
drops number a, or much less than one
third of the commercial lightning pa
irons. 1t is therefore quite apparent that
much the larger number Of these ~
users will either remain at the minimum
of the one dollar charge or. be Increased.
It might be stated that there are some
sharp decreases among the commercial
light users. under the proposed rate, but
it seems to me this but shows that the
cost of lighting has been too high.
:; It seems to me, that the company has
accepted or agreed to a schedule when
will amount in the aggregate to them
practically the same sum as under the
drop system, with possibly the exception
Of some sharp decreases, which conclu.
sion pretty nearly agrees with the state.
