Social and Personal
The homo of .Mrs. Charles

House and Gar#ten club.
Mrs. Amas Doan entertained
members of tlie Contract Bridge
cluib Tup.sday afternoon at her
home on ('rescent Hill road.
And More Rcte
Mayor John Henry Moss jested this
week, “I thoug'ht I was through with
electrical rate problems until I learned
Duke Power Company is seeking yei
another rate increase.’’
Duke is basing its case before the
Federal Power Commission on its con
tinued and projected groulli and need
for capital funds to stay' ahead of de
mand for electric energy.
Duke’s problems in this dirretion
are not new. The rate of return dropped
for a couple of years and meanwhile
Duke became a N'icllin of tight money .
It took a large bond issue to tlie mat'-
ket-placo and found the then-going rale
of interest eight percent.
“We need more income to attract
capital," Duke contends.
One rate increase of last year was
granted in the form of a fossil energy'
charge. Thus the city has paid Duke
up to more than $0006 a month to help
out Duke with its coal bill.
Duke will entail no little expense in
seeking the more than SS million it
wants via increased rates.
The supporting data Duke is sup
plying the Federal Power Commission
consists of four bulky' volumes.
The city's electrical system con
tinues lo grow which moans that Kale's
Mountain lias been and continues lo he
a larger customer, Dul<t*’s pnijectlon of
sale of power to the city for year end
ing in March is .‘>51-1.131 on the curreu:
rate schedule aiKi the compatiy hones
Kings Mountain (under the reou-Vtod
rate schedule) will pay Duke .Vlvi^.dll:!
for power in the year ending March
1974.
There is a slight fallacy in Duke’s
rate-of-return argument, for the com
pany’s transmission volume is growing
by leaps and bounds. The electric cities
and coops, 56 customers in all. as tlu*y
fight the case before VPC, will call at
tention to dollar return rather than rate
of return.
Friend Indeed
In periods of non-stress and strain,
the average citizen doesn't get very ex
cited about civil defense.
Yet Kings Mountain had a iwent
problem which would have boon diffi
cult of handling, certainly not in three
days, without the fact of a civil defense
agency, not to mention numerous other
organizations and individuals who pitch
ed in to help when the temporary pumps
at Buffalo Creek waterhole sank due to
a leaky pontoon that subsoguently went
down.
The city had been to Anniston. Ala
bama, once before on water business.
At that time the city was dry as were
the city’s York Road and Davidson Lalie
resevoirs. Pipe from Anniston enabled
the city to tap two streams and aug
ment the raw water supply until the
rains came.
The city's water-logged pumps are
being re-worked, the job is virtually
complete, and Anniston equipment will
be returned home, with a full measure
of thanks.
Mr. Turbyfill
It seemed impossible that Earl Tur
byfill had succeeded Hunter Allen as
city electrical superintendent four years
ago. Time indeed flies.
His decision to return to his native
Asheville was regretted by city officials.
Mr. TurbjTill proved himself a quiet
but quite efficient workman who knew
his business.
The community wishes him well.
Time is running out for annual tax
listing.
City tags are on sale at the tax list

Lyndon Bcines Johnson
