TO OUR ELECTRIC LIGHT AND
GAS CUSTOMERS:

In view greatyncreased cost of COAL labor and supplies
which prevails of supplying electricity and gas
increased point where it is necessary for US to have
relief therefore, next month will add 1870 to the net
bill of all electric customers and 1870 of our gas Gus
TONER'S This increase is not to be considered
permanent but primarily to assist through the present
extraordinary conditions.
We had hoped that it would not be necessary to ask our
customers for any assistance and with this IN mind we
carried the whole burden for year Conditions
however, have grown steadily instead OF improving,
and we have come point where is absolutely necessary
we are now appealing you and the rest of customers
to help US out, to the extent provided above.
This increase represent the entire increased cost
to u.s. but the amount that feel that is necessary to
enable provide for proper and adequate service under
present conditions over which we have no control.
We fully realize that customers have been called upon
to pay increase practically all the necessities OF the
home and business but confident that this very
slight addition to the electric and gas bills will not too
greatly add the burden of the individual but IN the agge
gate will help relieve very serious situation with u.s. Also
we would cali your attention to the small percentage OF
increase asked compared with increases OF all other
necessities.
We believe our customers have confidence in our good
faith and Intentions and with this in mind we have stated
our case frankly feeling that will realize the full justice
of action.
