‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MAY 12, 1980 FORCE LOWER RATE ON POWER UTILITIES Consequence Is, Says Expert Cooke, Home Patrons Pay 64 Percent of Income FROM 8 MILLS TO 8 CENTS Philadelphia Car Lines Pay use| Than Cent per Kilowatt Hour, Houses Ten Times That EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third of four articles by Morris Llew-, ellyn Cooke, noted Philadelphia pub- lic utilities expert, on electric rates for the home. Cooke directed Governor Pinchot's giant power survey in 1921, the biggest thing of the kind ever at- tempted. . * * x By MORRIS LLEWELLYYN COOKE Noted Expert on Electric Rates (Written for NEA Service) Householders and other small con- sumers of electricity are paying from five to 10 times the rate per kilowatt hour which is charged for wholesale power. These excessive rates have made possible the post-war era of in- terconnection and consolidation of companies with its accompaniment in many cases of flagrantly inflated cap- ‘ital values. Industrial users get the rock-bottom rates because theirs is the field where the competition lies. But there is a noticeable tendency in regulation to allocate costs as between the different classes of service and I am convinced that, the time is not far distant when , the electric industry for the first time HOW RATES VARY Here is another table showing all of the varying domestic ele ic light rates charged by privately owned utilities over the United States. The figures are top rates (in cents) per kilowatt hour and when not on a straight- line basis apply to from the first 10 to the first 200 kilowatt hours consumed. Average domestic con- sumption is around 30 kilowatt hours'a month. Many companies allow prompt payment discounts and some have special rates for cooking snd heatin, Muskegon, Mich. . Duluth . Minneapolis Kansas City ... St. Louis ... California, Mo. Omaha Butte Concord, N. Dover, N. Newark, N. J. Elko, Nev. Kaleigh Albany . Butftalo Middleton, N. Cleveland, which has the low- est rate of any community in this table, has a competing municipal lighting plant which charges a lower rate than the privately owned utility. in 1s history will be fcrced to set fair rates for domestic service—rates far below those which now obtain. A Wide Difference ‘The average rate for industrial power is about 13 cents a kilowatt hour. The average rate for domestic service is about 7 cents. Hardly any- one claims that the difference is a measure in the difference in cost of the two kinds of service. Generating stations are now built to take care of the needs of the large consumer and if anyone is to get the differential benefit it ought to be the domestic user. It costs just as much to generate electricity for one class of service as for another. At the pres- ent time the domestic consumers are using less than one-fourth of the total current end in many companies furnish more than half the revenues. Since transmission systems are es- sentially bulky carriers of current, there is little reason to make fine distinctions as to possible differences in costs of transmission between cur- rent used for light and that used for power. ‘Distribution costs, where appor- tioned to kilowatt hours used by dif- ferent classes of consumers are markedly affected by the conditions of ‘use. Nevertheless, for a use of 360 kilo- ‘watt hours a year, a recent national average, the cost of distribution amounts only to about 2 cents per Kilowatt hour. In Philadelphia electricity is sold to the street car companies for a little more than 8 mills per kilowatt hour. is the same electricity supplied to householder who pays a top rate 8 cents. A domestic of electricity which would cost the street car company about 42 cents. The difference, in Philadelphia as everywhere ‘else, is far too great. ‘The large consumer cannot be to pay much more than the actual cost of production. If he doesn’t get ®@ low enough rate he can afford to establish a plant to generate his own power. On the other hand there appears to be no effective way by which the small consumer can get his case ade- quately presented to the public serv- ice commissions and considered by them. Such presentation can only be made at great expense and no public agency is constituted and equipped to render this distinctly public service. While yower rates have gone down markedly since 1920, lighting rates | and domestic rates, already relatively | too high when judged by the cost-of- service |) have remained on the average at sbout the same level, “You simply have to be conventional in bridge.” but with reductions more or less marked in domestic rates for large use in certain places. A Few Comparisons Here is a table, prepared in 1928, showing relative selling prices per Kilowatt hour. The first column of figures gives the average for all con- sumers, including large power users, and the second the average for do- mestic consumers: Pittsburgh . Philadelphia . Detroit .. New York How disp the domestic consumers is brought home by the following statement tak- en from an advertisement of electric lamps in an issue of the Electrical World: “Of the 68,732,000,000 kilowatt hours generated in 1926, only 21 per cent was used for light—yet that 21 per cent returned $1,072,000,000, or 64 per cent of the total central station rev- enue.” re Among other things, Governor Gif- ford Pinchot’s giant power board found: That domestic service is largely off- Peak and should be rated as such. That the cost to serve small con- sumers is only three times that of serving large consumers but that the former are commonly charged 10 times as much as the latter for the same unit of current. That this discrimination against the small consumer should be cor- rected. That rates should be standardized and based upon the cost of service to each class of consumers. — NEXT: Domestic rate distribution costs and their effect on the house- holder’s monthly bill. 9 | Our Yesterdays | —_—_—_—_——* FORTY YEARS AGO State Senator Worst drove in from Williamsport yesterday afternoon, and spent the day renewing the many acquaintances formed at the capitol last winter. He reports farming oper- ations well under way in his com- munity. The new steamer, Chaske, making her first voyage, has reached Bis- marck after a trip from Pittsburgh by way of St. Louis. The Chaske has accommodations for a number of Passengers, the first of which were Miss Amelia Brandt, sister of H. Brandt, the purser, and Jack Little, who is returning to Bismarck after spending the winter in the east. Tom Fortune has gone to Fort Bu- fort with his crew of men. He has work there to keep them busy the rest of the summer, as he. was award- ed the contract for furnishing 1000 cords of wood, and 1700 tons of coal, for the river steamers. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Justice N, C. Young of the supreme court leaves this week for Tabor, Minn., to be present for the golden wedding celebration. of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles 8. Young. They have six children, all of whom will be attend the celebration. ‘The junior-senior party of the Bis- marck high school was held last eve- ning at Eagles hall. Dancing and cards were the pastimes. Later a banquet was served at Homan’s cafe. State Engineer Fellowes went: to Hebron today where he will inspect an individual irrigation plant that is being operated there. He was accom- panied by J. 8. Green, who ts also an irrigation enthusiast. Irrigation is attracting much interest in the state, and John Tyler, who resides near Mc- Kenzie, is arranging to irrigate 160 acres of his farm. He will-secure the water from Apple Creek, using a 20 horse power engine, with which he al- 80 does his plowing and threshing. TEN YEARS AGO 4 Members of the junior class of the Bismarck high school last night pre- sented the comedy, “What Happened to Jones,” before a large audience at the city auditorium. C. L. Vigness, for 12 years Burleigh county superintendent of schools, but at present superintendent of the Glen Ullin schools, is in the city to- day, attending a Knights of Pythias meeting. J George H. Paul of this city will this week take over the Hotel Ellendale, at Ellendale, which he has purchased. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Krueger, who have j been operating the hotel, will go to New Salem to visit relatives for a time, and later will locate in the west. } N.D.

OF ACREAGE Crop, Delayed by Late Oc- tober Rains, Too Short of Growth to Resist Cold STATE HAY STOCKS SHORT Only Half as Much as Last May on Farms; Argentine Wheat Estimate Shows Decrease A production of 12,650,000° oushels of rye is indicated by the May 1 con- dition of the crop in North Dakota, according to the report of the federal agricultural statistician at Grand Forks. Last year 8,415,000 bushels were harvested. It is estimated that a total of 1,250,000 acres were seeded to rye by North Dakota farmers last fall. Of this amount, 1,100,000 acres, repre- senting an 18 per cent increase over the 1929 harvested acreage, remain for harvest, indicating an abandon- ment of 12 per cent, or 150,000 acres. The increase in the acreage seeded to rye over last fall's estimate result- ed because of later than ‘average seedings followed the October rains. ‘The growth of these late seeded fields ‘was so short, however, that it was in no condition to withstand the unfa- vorable spring weather. Root growth was very poor, and plant growth in- sufficient to hold snow cover. As a result, winter killing was very severe, Particularly, in some districts, the east central district suffering the greatest damage. In the northwest and north central districts, two im- portant rye producing areas, condi- tions are reported to be fairly favor- able. Condition of the crop remain- ing for harvest is 79 per cent of nor- mal compared with 77 per cent last month, and 81 per cent in (May. 1929. The ten-year average condition is 82.3 per cent. Stocks of hay remaining on farms in NorthDakota May! represent 6 per cent of last year's crop or 149.000 tons. This compares with 12 per cent last May or 402,000 tons and with 393,000 tons, the five-year average. Condition of tame hay meadows on May 1 is 69 per cent compared with 82 per cent last May and a ten-year average of 78 per cent. Pasture con- dition at 69 per cent is 9 points below last year and 7 points below the 10- year average. For the United States ‘Winter wheat production for the United States on May 1 is forecast at pres-| A. M. AHI. oer Breit | 525,070,000 bushels, compared with 578,336,000 bushels harvested last fall, and with 550,636,000 bushels, the five- year average production. The acre- age remaining for harvest is estimat- ed to be 38,676,000 acres. 43,434,000 acres were sown last fall, indicating an abandonment of 11 per cent as compared with 6.5 per cent last year. The acreage of rye remaining for harvest is estimated to be 3,521,000 acres with 3,824,000 acres seeded last fall. Condition of the crop is report- ed as 84 per cent, indicating a pro- dyction of 46,831,000 bushels. In 1929 40,629,000 bushels were harvested. Hay reserves on farms May 1 repre- sent 10.9 per cent of the 1929 produc- tion or 12,496,000 tons. Condition of tame hay meadows at 79.9 per cent is considerably below last year. Pasture Condition as well, reported at 77.3 per cent is 10 points below the May first condition in 1929. Foreign Crop Prospects, ‘Wheat production in the Argentine is now estimated to be 137,420,000 bushels. This is nearly 170,000,000 bushels below the official estimate of the 1928-29 crops. This latter esti- mate is believed to.be about 40,000,000 bushels too low. The 1929-30 esti- mate is also believed by the trade to be about 20 million bushels too low. ‘Wheat acreage in 16 countries is now estimated to be 132,742,000 acres com- pared with 133,247,000 acres in these same countries in 1929. Beneficial rains have improved crop conditions in the Balkans where drought threat- ened. Rains in other sections of ope we considered as favorable to crops except in parts of France, where heavy rains have caused excessive wood growth.
