LOWER LIGHT
AND GAS RATES

Nogales is to have lower utilities
rates.
The state corporation commission
on Tuesday ordered the Citizens
Utility Company of Nogales to re-
duce its gas rates 18 per cent. and
cut residential electricity charges
10 per cent, effective Immediately.
Commission chairman Wilson r.
Wright said the reduction would ef-
feet a saving of $4,000 to consumers
The rate changes will provide
lower assessments for major gas
users, with small reductions for
small consumers. The first brackets
of the gas rates are unchanged, but
reductions were ordered in all other
brackets.
Wright said the new schedule
would make little changes for rural
and residential electricity users
The minimum residential light rate
is $120.
Under the new schedule, the first
35 kilowatt hours will cost Nogales
consumers 10 cents; the next 40 will
cost nine cents; the next 25 will
cost seven cents; the next 100 XVIII
four cents, and all over 100 XVIII
three cents.
Estimates Reduction
Charles Beck, rate engineer for
the commission, estimated that elec-
tricity users now paying $3.50 for
80 kilowatt hours would be billed
for only So under the new schedule.
The rural residential rate is iden-
tical with the Nogales city residen-
tiaI rate, but So minimum levy is
assessed in the outlying districts
The minimum under the general
gas rate is $1.20. The first brackec,
which specifies a cost of 40 cents
per tllerm for the first five ther1ns,
remains unchanged. Under the new
schedule, the next 10 therms will
cost 26 cents per therm; the next Is
therms, 20 cents per therm and the
next 20 therms, II cents. Electricity
in excess Of 20 therms will cost 16
cents per therm.
Under the old schedule the cost
was 36 cents per therm in the sec
ond bracket, instead of the 26 cents
provided in today's order.
Gas bills for consumers using 20
therms. which totaled $7.40 under
the old schedule, will now amount
to IS. 40.
