In com- paring the rate in cities the same size as Casper, Cheyenne and Sheri- dan, were considered and it was seen that, while the rates for power were on a par operating conditions ob- tained in those cities more favorable than in Casper due to cheaper fuel and labor. The Sheridan plant has paid from 10 cents to a dollar a ton for coal making the fuel bill almost negligible. No statement was made as to what steps the power company in- tends to take to remedy the rate de- fect, it being the general feeling ex- pressed that every effort would be made by the company to give Casper perfect service at the present rates in other states. A comprehensive plan for combat- \ting the disease has been adopted by the board.
