ELECTRIC LIGHT COSTS
oNE-FoURTH 1907 PRICES

Electricity for lighting in the
United States in 1907 cost $176,.
100000. Last year the cost was
three times that much. but thirteen
times as much electricity was used
for lighting. This IL q reduction
Of more than 80 per cent in the
cost Of lighting, and has occurred
in spite of rising costs of all ma
terials used and OF higher price
levels for practically everything else.
This has been due to improve.
nents in electric generating and
transmission systems. greater eff.
cheney and better electric lamps.
The saving which has thus been
passed along to the users of electric
lamps in the United States amounts
to, more than a billion and q half
dollars annually.
