The sul of the rates was made by O. W. Mat- tison, district superintendent. ‘The new rates are on a room basis. The room count will be based on a real estate rating, said Mattison, and in making the count unfinished at- tics, bath rooms, cellars, closets, garages, barns and outbuildings, hall- ways, laundries, pantries and porches not enclosed will not be counted. Premises having fewer than four rooms will be counted as four-room premises and premises having more than eight rooms will be counted as eight-room premises. Means Huge Saving Superintendent Mattison said the hew schedules will mean a substan- tial saving to users of electricity in Bismarck and in all communities served by the North Dakota Power and Light company. The total sav- ing to consumers in the western part of the state is computed at $60,000 to $70,000 annually. Mr. Mattison said the new rates will be the lowest in North Dakota, » if approved by the state railroad com- mission and allowed to be inaug- urated. They will be lower than the Present, the lowest in the state, he said. The North Dakota company calculates on a $2.10 monthly saving on an eight-room house, compared with the Otter Tail rates, he said. Points Made by Company The proposed reduced rates have been in operation in South Dakota, said the superintendent of the local company, and they have given satis- faction in that state. The Northwest- ern States Public Service corporation of Huron, 8.

Further points he made in behalf of the new schedules included asser. tion that “the new room rate sched. a human murderer, Black Diamond, | ule for residential service means that | the average rate for all sizes of homes will be approximately the same. “It also means that electric appli- ances can be used any place on the customer's premises and enjoy the Jow rates for such service without the installation of separate power circuits. “Extensive improvements are under way for the interconnection of the systems of the Northwestern Public Service company, The Northern Power and Light company and the North Dakota Power and Light company, as well as improvements to power plants, distribution systems and the like, (Continued on to Page 6) until he strangles to death.
