These figures show the average price
OF electric power in 1917 in the entire
United States To have been only two
thirds what ii was ten years earlier
These reductions do not tell the entire
benefit to the consumer. as they show
only the price of current and offer no
suggestion as to the economics brought
about by Improvement in electric
lamps, motors and other appliances for
utilizing electricity. In lighting alone
the Improvement in electric lamps In
the last fifteen years has given the con
sumner from three to five times as much
illumination with the same amount Of
current. That Is, one cents worth OF
electricity nov produces five times as
much light as it did fifteen years ago.
one Of the most impressive facts
shown by the above table Of electric
prices is the effect that water power
development has had upon power costs
Ii will be seen that in the Middle At.
lantiC, West North Central and East
South Central States, where there has
been little water power development,
the rates remained almost the same
for ten years, while in the West South
Central States, where there Is Irj water
power development worth mentioning.
the cost Of power actually increased. In
New England and the South Atlantic
States, where there has been consider
able use Of water power, the price
dropped off one-third. while In the
Mountain and Pacific states, where the
greatest development Of water power
has taken place. the reduction was
fully fifty per cent.
These figures tell the story very i'm
pressively Of what may be expected In
the way OF benefit to the Industries OF
the entire country when the 54,0OO,0OO
horse power Of water now running to
waste IS harnessed and put to work.
