cEELE6RATes FIRST BIRTHDAY

The Southern Arizona Power
Company, of this city, which on
April first celebrated it's first
anniversary, has issued the fol
lowing letter to patrons, of the
public service corporations
To Our Patrons, Acril 1st Is
Our Birthday.
1T is just a year since this
company came into existence.
We started in with many
problems, first of which was
how best to co ordinate and
! make efficient two competing
systems. In doing this, we we're
compelled to curtail the force to
an efficient working basis, and
this worked hardship on a
number of good men.
The warning companies which
preceded US created misunder
standings to which we fell heir,
although in no way responsible
for them. 1t is not our province
to discuss anything these com,
panies may have done before we
took over their plants and equip
ments. But we do not propose
to be governed by their policies,
or to take credit or blame for
anything done by them before
our company came into owner.
ship Of their properties.
We want you to know what
our policies will be in the .man.
agement of this corporation, in
order that there may be a thor.
ough understanding between us,
and in the hope that you will CO
operate with us in trying to
make of the Southern Arizona
Power Company an institution
which will give the maximum
service to you at lowest possible
rates, and in which you and the
management can take mutual
pride.
We realize to the fullest ex
tent that the interests of the
| public and of those who serve
them are one; that the value of
such property to the owners
| rests chiefly in the good will of
the public; and that good will
can only be secured by good SER
vice, fair dealing, and conf
dence. To that end we will do
all in our power to improve our
various plants to the point
| where the service from each will
be of the best, and adequate to
your needs.
I'VE realize to the full that
public service corporations have
no place in politics and that par
ticipation therein is nothing
more nor less than an effort on
their part to secure from the
public advantages to which they
are not fairly entitled. We will
not be a party to any political
schemes, wire pulling, or efforts
to influence legislation of any
| kind.
I'VE thoroughly approve state
supervision and regulation of
all public service corporations;
in no other way can the public
and those that serve them be
sure that the rates are equita
Bile.
I'VE shall devote all our eff.
forts to the upbuilding and bet.
! terment of our plants, the i'm.
provement Of our service and
the satisfaction of our patrons,
in order that we may earn their
good will, confidence and ap.
proval.
I'VE ask you for the present
to remember that q year is a
short time in which to accomp
lish all these things. We know
that our service to date has not
been all we would like it to be,
but we are confident that it will
continue to improve until it has
reached that point"
