Electric ' rates in Highlands are among the cheapest offered by any municipality in the south. Rate No. 1, for which a minimum of $1.20 a month is charged, offers the first 10 kilowatt hours at 12 cents each, the next 25 at 10 cents each, and all over 35 at five cents each. Rate No. 2 entitles the user to the first 20 kilowatt hours at 10c each, the next 100 at three arid one-half cents each, and all over 20 at ' two and one-half cents tach. A minimum charge of $2.00 a monh is made. An unusually attractive rate was recently made by the board of com missioners to users of electric ranges. .This rate applies only to ranges, but water heaters, hot plates and other heaters can be operated under this rate provided a standard electric range is also being operated. The first 50 kil awatt hours sell at two cents each, the next 150 at one and one-half cents each, and all over 200 at one cent each. Along (with- low electric rates Highlands .' maintains unvaringly excellent power service. The drouth of lastv summer in no way affected the. service here, but elsewhere caused much inconvenience and loss. Since October, 1930, when grading ' was .completed on No. 28, giving .quick access to the power house in case of emergency, the service has ' been practically continuous, states J. E. Potts, town manager.

This record hasbeen made in spite of only one unit in the power sys tem. . ' . The growth of the town will eventually justify an additional un it, but Highlands is well served by the present arrangement Upkeep, interest and sinking fund on the power and water system amount to approximately $12,000 annually, and bring revenues of approximately $8,000. But the dif ference in the gap is steadily, if slowly, closing. Bond payments are spread over a 40-year period, but long before they are paid, the power and water system will take care, of all expenses, and probably net a profit Highlands owns, and efficiently operates a system well worth keeping.
