The reduction In power rates Will be
made by virtue of a compromise between
the company and commission reached
in 1924 in settlement of the company's S
appeal against the valuation of Its prop
erty by the commission for rate making
purposes According to the compromise
the company each year Is required to
reduce its rates If its earnings in the
previous year exceeded rs per cent on
its valuation
The earnings in excess of this per-
centage are divided in two, the COM
panv taking half in cash and the con-
sumers getting the other half in re-
duced bills. At the time the compro-
mise was entered into. the rate was 10
ceuts per kilowatt hour. Each year
since then there has been reduction
and following each reduction the COM
pany has made more money.
