Despite the fact the Potomac
Electric Power Co. has temporar-
lily lost one Of its major custo-
mers. the Capital Transit Co.,
due to the strike. production and
use of electricity this summer
has topped previous records.
officials said today Capital
Transit's bill for electricity is
estimated to run between $70.-
900 and $4,000 monthly. 1t
varies according to conditions.
An exact estimate Of the money
lost by the strike by Pepco has
not been determined. Likewise,
officials said. the kilowatt hours
that might have been used by
Capital Transit, had the strike
not interviewed. have not been
calculated.
Although the street cars were
not running. Pepco still broke
all records Of existing peaks,
officials said.
The summer 1854 peak was
reached September Z with 741,-
900 kilowatts. Figures for sum-
mer 1855 to date topped this by
these amounts on these dates:
$4,000 July S; $4,000 July 81:
$4,000 July 81; 100000 July %
and $4,000 August 2.
The daily net output for
Pepco showed for 1854 the sum-
mer's biggest day was l2,201 900
kilowatt hours on July II. This
has been exceeded this year as
follows, in kilowatt hours: H.

81; 13,416.000 July %: 1854, 900
July 81 and 1888. 900 July %.
Depicting the steady increase
in the use Of electricity, in 1854
the average residential customer
used 2,540 kilowatt hours for the
year against only 2,029 for 1850.
Pepco officials attributed the
advance to the increased use of
air conditioning. fan equipment,
the installation of air condition
ing in new buildings, automatic
laundries. deep freeze, dish
washers and a greater acceptance
Of electricity in daily living. The
Washington area population in
crease is also an important fac
tor in the added use of kilo-
watts.
