while. The reasou for THIS was shown
BY an imaginary case worked out
b. Mr.. Stuart
Cost Per kiowatt Hour Decreases
It assumed that a farmer used 20
kilowatt hour8 per month, at the
energy rate established for the Red
Wing line. This would cost him the
fixed charge Of $50 plus 81 for the
energy, total Of 1890 or 1915 cents
per kilowatt hour. But II be used 50
kilowatt hours per month, his total
bill would amount TO only g. Or Is
cents per kilowatt hour. II be used
100 kilowatt hours. his bill would be
only $1,000. which Is 1915 cents per
