lied. The prices of all elements en-
tering into the cost Of providing
service have continued upwards.
We have tried in every possible way
| to avoid further rate increase
without success and we have no
alternative.
Revised rate schedules are en-
closed herewith, and become effective
on bills rendered after July l, 1918.
These rates will be reduced when
| normal conditions are restored.
The increase in passenger and
freight rates, ordered by the govern
| ment officials operating steam rail-
roads, shows the urgent necessity of
higher charges for utility service un-
der present conditions. The increase
| in freight rates, ranging from 25 to
200 per cent, has a vital bearing
upon the cost Of providing the serV-
ice this company supplies. These
freight rates have resulted in a
large additional increase in the cost
Of coal for electric light and power
and gas making purposes, on top Of
a previous enormous advance in coal
costs OF course, these freight rates,
the cost Of coal, materials, supplies
and taxes, etc, are beyond our con-
troll but they certainly add to the
operating expense Steam and gas
coal in 1917 had increased material
~ in price over 1916 figures, but the
prices Of this year on steam coal are
1917 over 1917 and those Of gas coal
S2.97 over last year. You. who have
your coal problem at home in pur-
chasing possibly 10 tons Of coal, will |
appreciate what this advance means |
TO this company, which uses ap- |

property.
Practically all Of the service rem
dered by this company is vital to
the public welfare, health, necessity
or convenience. Much Of it is re-
CURED in connection with the pro
duction Of essentials to ma .ntaining
the nation and winning the war. We
must meet present and future de-
mands for service. We must finance
and construct additions and extern
sions of an absolutely necessary
character.
President Wilson has said:
1T Is essential that these utilities
should be maintained at their maxi
mum efficiency and that everything
possible should be done
with that end In view"
The responsibilities now resting on
our company are exceedingly i'm
pOrtant and we are doing our utmost
to perform our work with the high
est degree OF economy and eff
cheney. To fulfill our obligations to
the community and to the nation we
cannot escape the necessity for in
creased compensation.
The situation that this company Is
forced to meet is the same situation
faced by every business and every
individual. We must meet 1t straight

THE present top rate net price for

some months ago to partially offset

also revised on an upward scale. The
principal increase, however, Is in

business being harder hit by war

The following letter was ad-
dressed to all consumers Of gas and
in Fargo and Moorhead:
To our customers:
After having made a voluntary de-
crease in gas and electric rates early
in 1917, we were, at the beginning Of
this year compelled to add a small
war surcharge to bills for
service owing to heavy and unprec-
edented increases in the cost of
fuel, supplies, material and labor
and higher taxes.
Our customers, approaching the
conditions caused by the war, &C
cepted the increased charges which
represented the first rate advance in
the history of the company.
Our hope that this temporary sur
charge would enable us to cope with
increased costs has not been real
