ther the company has argued its
rates have gone steadily down along
with greatly increased usage. It has
been reported the 1889 Residential
rate here was only 263 per cent OF
the 1913 rate, whereas the national
average for 1889 was 46.3 per cent
of the 1913 level.
A recent report to the PUG shows
that for January the average rev.
enue per kilowatt received BY the
Pepco for all its power service was
l.546 cents. For residential or do
nestic service the January revenue
averaged 1885 cents per kilowatt
the report shows. and for CONNER
cial and industrial service, 1894
cents per kilowatt.
One of the arguments advanced
Ii the past by the company was
that in the II years Of PUG regula-
ton prior to adoption of the sliding
scale plan, its rates were reduced by
but 10 per cent, whereas the ma
tional average rate declined 172 per
cent during the same period. To
this it added that Government stud.
les indicated the Pepco rates de-
clined more than the national av-
erage since 1925
