A rate reduction on electric power hue been offered by the Duke Power Co. to cities and industrial plants that would save them four per cent on its present powwr bin to the Duke Power Co., but these customers are not, satisfied bo ac cept this cut which the mayor* and Industrial men say Is too small and they are asking for more. Mayor McMurry was in Raleigh last week before the Corpojmtton j Commission, appearing with the executive committee of the mayor* of North Carolina of which he is a jnember. He says the Duke Power company’s compromise Date would save Shelby $250 a month, but he doe* not think this is enough and he with the other members of the executive committee are contending for a greater reduction No Ixwa] Cut "If Shelby should jtet a reduction In Its rate from the Duke Power Oo would such reduction be passed on to the domestic consumers?” Mayor McMurry was asked this morning by a representative of The Star 'Weil, the city could not make anv reduction in its rate# until the end of the fiscal year.’’ he stated. ’’Shel by Is the only city in North Caro lina that is absorbing the consum er’s tax of three per cent levied on power by the federal government This makes the city pay to the federal government the consumer's tax instead of the consumer paying it. therefore It Is costing us quite a considerable sum. However, at the end of the fiscal year we might re scale our electric rates for our pa trons if a reduction of any consid erable amount Ls obtained from the Duke Power Co., from whom we buy our power.-’ added the mayor Would Save a Million In a letter sent out by the Duke Powpr Co . under date of Octobei 3. the Duke Power Co. says as an aid to the return of prosperity and to see if sufficient volume of busi ness for their continuance, it >i.* willing at once to institute reduc tions in rates which, when applied to the whole Duke Power system would mean a saving to its custom ers at a rate of approximately a million dollars per annum and the corresponding decrease In the net earnings to the Duke Power Co. In other words the Duke Poorer Co. does an annua! business of about twenty-six million' dollars. Tt proposes to reduce rates that would cut this income a million dollars a year, which ls slightly more than four percent under the present rates.

J. J Gradv readily consented this morn ing to co-operate with the citizens. I am always ready to comply with any reasonable request,” said Col Grady. "It had not occurred to me that the loud motor of my plane would disturb religious services, bu: I realize now that it does and since the church going people think flights should not be made over the city while religious services are on you can state that X will not fly on Sundays over the city between 10 and 12 o'clock,” he readily agreed. Col. Grady who is one of the crack pilots of the World war, is doing a rushing business at the I Mauney airport near Elizabeth church. He was busy all day Sun day.
