To Our Customers
1 " ''ll
i i
The above chart was prepared from the statistics furnished
by the United States Lrovernment. ~ j
'
Isn’t it surprising to you how small your electric light and v.
water bill is, as compared with the other expenses, and what a
kittle bit it will mean to you for these bills to be increased to the
"amount we are asking for?
We want it understood that the increase is not permanent,
but necessary to tide us over the present emergency, during
which, our operating expenses are substantially greater than our
income. With normal conditions, it will naturally bring about a '
decrease in the operation of l ght and water plants, and customers
can expect, and will receive corresponding decrease in the price
of water and electricity.
