= Early next month you will
receive check like this for your
share Of 100000 rate dividend"
to all PP&L electric customer. The
amount Of your dividend will be
approximately one-half of your aver
age monthly electric bill-and it
will be paid by check and not Il -erely
a credit on your next bill.
We are taking this unusual step
because there is an unusual condi-
ton to be dealt with. The war is
causing an abnormal demand for
electricity at many places on the
PP&L system. Just as few ex-
amples, we are serving new war
industries, commercial businesses,
air fields, training camps, naval
bases and supply depots.
And besides serving electricity to
all our regular customers, PP&L has
been called upon to furnish electric

ity to a sudden influx of new families
in the neighborhood of all these war
caused activities. All this has result
ed in an unusual increase in our total
volume of business. =
You and all the other users of our
electric service have right to share
in the benefits of this extra business
while it lasts. The question has been
"What is a sound way of distribu-
ting these beneits?"
After thorough investigation, the
Washington Department of Public
Service and the Oregon Public Utili-
ties Commissioner have approved
this rate dividend" plan as a fair
and practical way to meet war
time situation.
The check you receive as your
share of this $500, 900 customer-divi-
dend will reduce further the cost you
pay for electricity-which already
is only about half national average.
