The family received friends Electricity From Pag* 1-A for the City of Shelby, contacted by phone following the Kings Mountain meeting, disagreed with Little. "That’s absolutely not true,” he said. “We’re not selling elec tricity cheaper than we’re buying it. We went up at the end of the year the same amount as Duke incrfcased.” Gidney said there was a lot of confusion over the television report last week, and confirmed that Channel 9 used old rates to compile a yearly average for Shelby and Lincolnton. (Chan nel 9 clarified its earlier report on Monday night’s late news). Gidney said Shelby’s retail rate of SS4.18 is much lower than Kings Mountain’s rate of $61.82 because Shelby gives all customers a water heating rate whether they qualify for it or not. “There has been some confu sion in exactly what numbers were used” on the TV report, he said. “Duke has a R rate with a footnote for water heating. If a customer meets certain water heating criteria, he qualifies for a reduced rate. We use it (reduced rate) whether they meet the criteria or not.” If Shelby used Duke’s residen tial rates, its rates would be $59.83, the same as Duke’s and Lincolnton’s, and $1.99 lower than Kings Mountain’s. But, in the long run. Little said, Kings Mountain’s rates could be lower than the others because the other three com panies are presently charging the lower winter rates. All will balance out when the higher summer rates take effect. “In other words,” Childers said, “we’re looking like the bad guy but when it’s all over we’re going to look good?” Little said when a final deci sion is reached on Duke’s pro posal, and if Duke is not given the entire 15 percent hike, the ci ty board can decide to cut its rate or make refunds to its customers. “But, right now, 1 think you’ve done the right thing” by the December increase,” he said. •Then, you’re telling us to stay where we are?”. King asked. “If you can do without $10S,0()0,1 recommend that you drop the rates,” Little said. “But the figures we recommended will barely meet your budget.” “I don’t see how the city can afford to lose $108,000,” King said. “And I don’t figure we’ll ever recoup that much money,” Childers a^d. Mayor John Moss called three times for a second to Commis sioner Nicholson’s motion to cut the rates, and then declared the motion dead because of a lack of a second. from 7-9 p.m. Wednesday at Masters Funeral Home.
