RATE CUT DECISION
is DUE TOMORROW
Favorable Action Expected
on Proposal to Reduce
; Electricity Costs.

The Public Utilities will act probably
tomorrow on the proposal submitted at
the public hearing yesterday by the Po-
ton1ac Electric Power Co. for a new
electric rate schedule under which re-
ductions amounting to $378,9l8 would be
passed to consumers in reduced rates as
compared with those in effect last year:
The amount of the proposed rate re-
ductionS is figured at half OF the COM
panys earnings last year in excess of 7
per cent return on a rate base of some
SCI, ,7oO,0 900. The proposal was made in
accord with the consent decree under
which rates have been adjusted an
nually for a number of years.
Indications today were that the COM
mission would approve the proposal as
submitted yesterday with little or nc
change in the various schedules, unless
a. recheck of the mass of figures used
in the compilations should show any
substantial errors
Since no major objections were voiced
yesterday to the proposed new rates
either by commission experts or counse
or Peoples Counsel Richmond B
Keech, expectations were that the new
rates would be approved.
Officials of the power company ex-
planned after the session yesterday that
the proposed new domestic rate would
make it possible for new customers tt
install electric ranges or other heavy
duty appliances for home use without
the expense of an extra meter since
the proposed rates on schedule A have
been adjusted to permit all home ap-
planceS on single meter.

dismal reflection that he could never

would see Packy going about all hale

an explanation and would certainly
refuse to accept the only one he
could give.
He bade Mr.. Slatterly hasty fare

walked toward the chateau, would
Gertie say when she found that he
had not fulfilled those gallant boasts
and promises of yesterday?
