North Carolina Utilities Commissioner On the first day of January. 1938, the Utilities Commission] again began reductions in electric rales, and has continued these re- 1 reductions throughout the year. Every major electric power com pany in the State has reduced its rates during 1938. The Durham Public Service Company has made' two reductions. "The most out standing reductions were those of the Duke Power Company, which gave an annual reduction of $835,-1 000 In March, ajid that of tile Carolina Power and Light Com pany* in the amount of $716,000, which was announced last week. The remarkable thing about these reductions that in -each! instance they have followed re ductions of considerable size, which have been made from year to year since 1932. The aggregate amount- of all the reductions in ! electric rates'.- which have been made for the year 1938 is $1,803, 700, based on the actual consump tion of electricity and the rates charged therefor in 1937. The uew rates" of the Carolina Power andj Light Company, which have iust been procured, are among the; lowest in the liation. and were not> I regarded as possible a few years ago. - With tile present low electric j rates prevailing.- in most parts of the State, the main deterrent to j the free use of .electricity is t'h e financial inability of the people to purchase the, appliances^, to use electricity. Just as the cost of an! automobile is the rtererminiiig fac tor lu the purchasing of a, car,1 rather than the cost- of the gaso line. so is the cost of appliances and not the. cost of electricity the I -niirin limitation on the use. Thousands of. hotlies in North ! Carolina are without' the conven iences afforded by electricity, sim-. ply because of lack of money to buy appliances. The present cost of electric current -IS negligible com ? pared with the cost- of major ap pliances. It i? in the appliance field, therefore, that the federal government has the greatest op portunity to expihid the- use of electricity, lessen drudgery an.d I provide the conveniences whicli electricity brings. The. building of 1 plants and transmission lines in f new or inadequately served terrl | tory b< air right, but it wo hid be | far m?r? sensible to assist the | people i|i purchasing nppiiuuces to ?V the electricity- now at their doors, than Jt is to contribute millions of dollars In grants for the construction of new generat ing plants in sections where al ready there ts a surplus of elec tricity sufficient to supply increas . ing demands for years to coine.
