The averages of 1859 are TAX
en- as 100 per cent in the Labor
Department statistics. A month
before the start of the war electric
and gas rates were 80 per cent Of
this average. At the time of the
Little Steel" decision electricity
and gas were 97.5. When the hold
the line" order was given these
rates had come down to 96.6 and by
April of this year had dropped
again to 95.5.
During the 1939-45 period such
living costs as food had gained 46.1
per cent, clothing 43.6 per cent.
and house furnishings 43.S per cent.
Fuels other than gas climbed 2S.5
per cent.
Spokesman for the electric in
dustry commented that there had
been a steady decline in rates of
business-managed companits since
the inception Of the industry. 1t is
revealed by the 1914 annual report
of the Arizona Edison Company,
Inc, that compared to 1885 the
present average selling price of
electricity is only 3S per cent and
water 6S per cent of the 1885 level.

Gross Receipts at
Local Post Office
Show Steady Gain

Gross receipt figures for the Cool
idge post office, released WedneS-
day by j. B. Boone, postmaster
show a 2S5 per cent gain in re-
ceipts in 1945 as compared with
the 1886 figure. The figures, cover
ing the period from 1888 to 1945
increase steadily even through the
depression years.
Gross receipts for the local office
were S4,S46.9O in 1888. In 1945 they
are S33,66499. The fiscal year foI
the post office closes on June 80
Gross receipt figures do not in
clude fees.
During the past year, Boone
states, 80 to 40 post office boxes
have been broken into between G
p. m. and a. m. while post office
employees are off duty. The post
office inspector at Phoenix has
instructed the local office to lock
post office doors during this time
III these depredations continue. 1t Is
believed that Juveniles are respon-
sible for the box looting.
Federal investment in post office
buildings varies in unincorporated
and incorporated towns, Boone
states. An unincorporated town re-
ceiving between $4,000 and $685.
900 from federal funds for a post
office building would, if incorporat-
ed. be likely to receive between

Fish, Game License
Requirements Told
Service Personnel

"The status of returning Arizona
war veterans in regard to qualify
ing for resident hunting and fish
ing licenses has arisen on a few
occasions recently since the end
of the war in Europe" Fred Merkle,
state game and fish director said
today.
Members of the armed services
who are legal residents of Arizona
on entering their country's services
are eligible for resident hunting
and fishing licenses, regardless OF
how long they have been out OF the
state while serving their country
Mr.. Merkle said.
"a special soldiers license, cost
$3.50, permitting the holder to take
small game and fish in season was
set up by the State Legislature
at the beginning of the war for
members of the armed services
stationed in Arizona" Merkle point
ed out. However, members of the
armed services, not stationed in
Arizona and not residents of this
State are required to have the
nonresident form of hunting or
fishing license before they can le-
gally take game in the State"
Some States have been able to
allow all members of the armed
forces free hunting and fishing
privileges, but the semi-arid nature
of -Arizona's terrain naturally cur
failing the number of game animals
and birds and limiting the lakes
and number and volume of fishing
streams has not permitted Arizona
to do this" Merkle said. "Conser-
vation and proper administration OF
the States wildlife resources will
give Arizona's boys something to
hunt and fish when they return, y

Decline in Electric
Rates Revealed by
Department of Labor

Steady decline in electric rates
even during the war, hitherto not
shown separately in Department Of
Labor reports, have now been re-
vealed by the Department for the
first time, it was announced this
week by Coolidge office of Arizona
Edison Company, Inc. These de-
clines in rates, representing savings
to millions of electricity customers.
previously have been hidden by
their inclusion with other living
costs.
For a period of years the electric
light and power industry through
its spokesman, the Edison Electric
Institute, has protested to the De-
partment of Labor over the fact
that electric rates have been
grouped with the cost of fuel and
ice," thus making it appear that
these rates were going up rather
than down.
The June issue of the Monthly
Labor Review, published by the De-
partment of Labor, met with the
qualification of the executives of the
business-manage light companies,
since the review for the first time
made clear to its readers that dur
ing the period from August, 1899
to April, 1945, the average price of
gas and electricity had dropped 3,5
per cent.
Grouping gas and electricity with
ice and coal had made it seem in
prior reports that each of these
living expenses were climbing.
