Only Two States Rank
Lower Than D. Con
AVERAGE Electric Bills

Figures released by the Federal
Power Commission today showed
that only two States have lower
average electric bills than the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The report also showed that
while the District is far below the
national average, Maryland and
Virginia consumers pay only
slightly less than those in the
Nation as a whole.
The commission made a survey
that showed the average annual
consumption in Washington and
the Metropolitan area to be 1885
kilowatt-hours. Tables listing 100
kilowatt-hour consumption per
month are the closets available for
comparison in this area.
Rate Here is STA.
The national average is 1913
per month for 100 kilowatt-hours.
Only Tennessee, where the rate is
$2.52, and the State of Washing
ton, $2.66. are lower than the Dis
trict of Columbia. where the rate
is $2.74 per month.
Maryland ranks 18th in the
list of states with a rate of $3.51
and Virginia ranks 23d with 1914.
Those who use electricity for
cooking and other supplemental
purposes besides normal lighting
consume closer to
ESQ kilowatt-hours per month.
The average nationally for $50
kilowatt-hours it SOL. In this
category, District users pay $5.44,
Maryland users pay $685. but
Virginia averages slightly more
than the national figure with
S7.O9.
Slight Increase Reported.
The national figure is slightly
higher than a year ago but still
is lower than in 1889, when the
rate was $7.46.
Doil lib 1o1P, Illc CoIIlIIllSSlOll
said. electricity bills increased in
1712 per cent of the 1914 COM
munities surveyed, and decreased
in ST. per cent in the residential
bill most subject to change.
The changes in that bill-the
500-kilowatt-hour monthly bill
varied from increases of IS or
more month to decreases of a
like amount.
mo attempt has been made to
determine the reasonableness of
the bills shown" the commission
said. Many factors operate to
cause differences in costs and
rates among the various communi-

D. C.Mon, 20, Designs Project
To Make Over-Aged Useful

There's a man IN washington
who is about to embark on an
idealistic project designed to
assist men, retired, honest and
not ready to be shelved."
This man himself is more or
less retired. He is Otis j. Bouma,
10, of 1907 G street NV. where
he operates a tourist home.
He ran an ad in The Star last
week asking to hear from men in
the category he described who
were interested in attending a
meeting to consider means of
becoming occupied" So far Is re-
tired men have responded.
Meeting Set Tomorrow.
A preliminary meeting has
been scheduled at Mr.. Boumas
home at 1880 pm. tomorrow to
discuss ways of starting some sort
of local organization to help old
people.
"Frustration is horrible thing,
and old people want to feel use
full" Mr.. Bouma said.
There really is a definite need
for some organization. I hope
that out of this preliminary meet
ing, will grow a program that will
lead to something definite. My
only concrete suggestion at pres
ent is to fight for liberalization of
the social security laws"
Mr.. Bouma said he was inspired
to run the ad by letter a local
newspaper printed last month
from a retired man. This man
stated he would be glad to work
at forced labor in order to eat as
in Russia. rather than have the
freedom to starve in the midst of
a theoretical freedom"
Sees Loss of Assets.
The letter writer said the Ma
ton is losing one Of its greatest
assets-the experience and judg-
ment of men who have lived an
active life for 60 or 10 years.
There must be some way a civil
lied Nation like ours can make use
of that manpower," he concluded.
Evening star., 1949-09-13

Mr.. Bouma said among those
who have replied are a retired
Navy vice admiral, a Congrega-
tionalist minister and number OF
Government employees.
Mr.. Bouma has been in Wash
ington for IL years, coming here
to operate the tourist home after
a varied career in the Midwest.
He said he had been in sales work,
in the laundry business (when he
married the laundry owners S
daughter who was his first wife)
and banking. But most Of his
career was spent as specialist in
rescuing small newspapers from
the financial doldrums, he said.
"As for the meeting tomorrow"
he said, " hope we can be wise
enough to make the start in the
best possible manner"

Mrs. John Caiopoulas, 534 Hill

ers who escorts the children over
the path, told how many cried
this morning and wanted to turn
back after overshoes got stuck in
the mud and lost.
Mrs. John A. Caspar, 1921
Chaplin street Sc. has another
problem. She had to carry g.
year-old Richard Caspar back
and forth three times for Robert,
S, to attend kindergarten.
"All I do is spend time drying
off from the $3.50 a m. trip. getting
ready to call for them at lunch
time. taking them back after
lunch. then meeting them at 3
pm.." Mrs. Caspar said. I'VE
mothers are trying to think of
something we could do at the
school in the intervals to cut
down on the number of trips"
This morning the parents and
children consulted Mrs. Helen Ma
guire, Davis School principal. on
solving the problem. She told them
there was nothing she or the
school could do. It was then the
parents planned their petition to
the Commissioners.
