easterners will enjoy reductions a
mounting to approximately $5.00
. per year with the new rates tha
wont into effect 011 July 1st. Th
I natemonts received the first of thi
! month are figured- at the icdure<
in'es The lowered rates represents 1
reduction of about 10 perceut on al
clinrgs. The reduced rates mill tueai

three room house will save in th
satne proportion as the person wit!
a larga building.
Light and Water Commissioner
I.add liamrick and W. K. Maune
spent considerable time and stud
figuring a reduced rate that woul
upjiern an classes or customerf
The Town Council desired to mak
the reduction just as low as posal
hie without cutting into the rcvenut
of the Town.
The water rate before the preaeh
reridcticif had heen In effect slno
July 1931 and the light rate sinci
February 1936.
The new mlntmums are: Water
$1.15. Instead of $1.25 with 2.000 gal
Ions of water Included. Lights, S&
instead of $1.00 with 10 kilawatt
Included. Other rates with the ex
ception range which was not reduc
ed, will be cut about 10 percent
Kings Mountain already had one o
the lowest range rates in the state
The Town serves approximate^
1.000 customers monthly and the 25<
cut on each minimum will mean i
savings of about $250 per month.

making every effort to collect a!
taxes and privilege licenses.
