legislators Cool To lifeline fair Share
RALEIGH (CCNS)-Life-line
fair share legislation got a
cold reception from many
legislators last week attending a
joint session of House and
Senate Utilities Committees.
Lifeline legislation would
allocate the lowest cost per
kilowatt hour usage given any
electric customer for the first
350 kilowatts used. The lowest
kilowatt usage is presently
given to commercial and indus
trial customers with the resi
dential users paying the highest
rate.
Rep. Laura Tally, Demo
crat of Cumberland, a sponsor
of the, legislation, brought two
experts to the committee meet
ing to explain the concept, but
somehow, by the questions and
answers legislators gave, they
seemed to be more confused
or adamantly against the legis-
, lation ,'thart . they were ini
tially I -
Dr. Frederick Wells, repre
senting , Resources for . the
Future, ' a -Washington based
group, explained that higher
electric' rates' 'were caused by
the; increased cost of paying for
, nuclear generators. He said that
higher costs would bring about
an, increased L profit to com
panies' which; should .be dis
tributed to :the residential
users. California, he said, al
ready.1 ha1 adopted su ch a
system.' J : .. '
Many legislators question
ed the loss of revenues to the
electric companies that would
be sustained under the life -line
plan. Senator I. Beverly
Lake, Jr., contradicted Wells'
estimate that the legislation
would cost Duke 60-80 million
dollars 1 annually, with CP&L
and VEPCO 67 million and 5
million, respectively. Wells said
that his estimates which were
much lower than Lake's would
vary with the rates set by the
utilities commission.
; Several legislators com
plained ' that to give resi
dential consumers the same
rates presently giyen to in
dustries would "spark the fire
of inflation."
Conservative Sen. Julian
Allsbrook of Halifax County
said that due 'to the already in
creased : cost of electricity
many industries in his district
were already producing their
own electricity. Wells said if
they were, that would be fine
and would reduce the need for
greater expansion" of 1 power
generating facilities and thus
increased costs. '

The tremendous acxeptance
of the 1977 Cadillac
and what it could mean
to you.
4
new car in Cadillac history. The question is: Why? Why have so many
Americans chosen to own what we proudly call the next generation of the
luxury car .. .Coupe deVille, Sedan deVille and Fleetwood Brougham?
Here are some of the reasons:
rff!S. -ZLZ 135
LJ
All tHe luxury and then some. It's
every inch a Cadillac. With all the
luxury, security and elegance you
expect. And more. More efficient
' use of space than in 1976 . . .more
convenience. . .more maneuverability
in city traffc.
It's a lively generation of luxury.
Agile. With pickup responsive
performance that could surprise you.
Cadillac service. Your Cadillac dealer
is equipped and committed to treating
you like a Cadillac owner.
Advanced engineering. We used
many Seville design concepts taking
advantage of some of the world's
foremost automotive technology.
Added protection for your investment.
Including extensive use of such
corrosion-fighting materials as
Zincrometal panels and bimetal
(stainless steel on aluminum) moldings.
The bottom line. In two of the most
meaningful measurements of a
car resale value and repeat owner
ship Cadillac consistently leads all
U.S. luxury car makes.
But to fully understand its acceptance, you have to drive a 1977 Cadillac.
Your Cadillac dealer would be delighted to arrange it..
Leave it to Cadillac to lead the way.
