Principles. Then Commissioner. Best mounted his favorite hobby with a question as to “what right: the city “has to ‘make any rates.” “He “argued ttiat: the city commission should wash its hands of the whole :matter and refer the public utility rate adjustments to the railway commission. Other commissioners and public utility representatives present, as well as’ interested. citizens, . insist- ed: that {t would be better for all con- cerned if the city and its utility com: ‘ panies could .get together ~ without bringing in. outside influences “Tn response to Mr. Best’s,, query, Supt... Aasness ex@@ined ‘why the Hughes Electric Co. can sell cooking current at ‘three’ cents. “Our plant’is equipped to carry 1; - 900 kilowats.” said the eleetriéal man. “we: necd: this peak Joad-only: about -- two: hours-in the: day, but, we are Te quired to keep-our plant running 24 hours each day, and:the overhead ex- pense. goes. on, practically the same, whether we are selling 100 kilowats or 1,900. To run our business efficiently. it is necessary that ‘we have a load to carry, during the daytime, ‘whey there is no demand for light: We must have a load on our generators all the time. pense for fuel, and oil we can, supply this power during the daytime at the low rate of three cents, and we have given the domestic consumers the ad- vantage of thig:rate.
