Al furnished by Wrangell's city municipally owned light and power and a householder in Juneau both rental units in Juneau plant. This incorrect statement ap- peared in an editorial in the March | 5th issue of the Daily Alaska Em- pire, citing what purported to be tee amount of the average monthly censumer’s bill in cities in 1 where electric service is a 1 enterprise, and compar- ing such amounts with the aver- age monthly consumer’s bill in the town of Juneau under private en- terprise. First, let me here state, that, a. Mayor of Wrangell and a repre- sentative of the people of Wrangell, I have no interest in, and do not wish to enter into the rate contro- versy now being conducted in Ju- neau, but I do strenuously object to| a flagrant'misstatement of the av- erage consumer’s cost for electric service in the city of Wrangell un- der municipal (\\nwxs'up as set out in the Empire’s editorial This editoriau states that the a crage monthly bill for electric ser- vice in the city of Wrangell is $2252," under municipal ownership, ! as compared to $1226 in the city of Juneau, under private owner- ship. The amound stated for Wran- gell is far from correct. I have| had a rate expert check the fig- s appearing in the Empire edi-| The Empire's figures were ased on a monthly average use of 313 kilowatts. Even using that nount of consumption, the aver- e would be $14.17 ir ad of, as! ated in the Empire, §: But an average of 313 kilowatts does rot apply in any sense of the word to the city of Wrangell, and I, and 22.52. the people of Wrangell, object to having them used as & basis Upon a check .of the Wrangelll light plant’s books, I find that the average paid by householders per| month in Wrangell for the entire This is, indeed, far below the average of $22.52 as stated in the Empire’s edi- torial for the city of Wrangell. In! fact, the largest monthly bill paid| by the highest household user in! the city of Wrangell during the| 1945, was $13.18. Even this,| jile by no means average, below the amount the Empire s s is household average in Wrangell.| The incorrect statement is poor publicity for Wrangell, and that is son for making this correct- statement. i V.

We, too been given a copy of the rate analysis made by Mayor Hanford's rate expert, who was Mr. Henry L. Gray of Seattle. Figuring that if householder in Wrangell have a {used 313 kilowatt hours a month,) the Wrangell bill, according to Mr. Gray, would be $14.17. The Juneau householder would pay $9.01 for the same service In addition to this service, we compared the rates| charged for electric water heaters when quoting figures in our editor- ial, using KW water heater as an example. We figured an average would be 250 KW hours per month which would cost the Wrangell user $325, plus a charge of $2.00 for “connected capacity” as quoted in| fhe Wrangell rate book. The same 250 "KW for the Juneau consumer would cost §$ If Mayor Hanford | will compare Juneau rates to! Wrangell rates he can readily see that by taking a standard number cof kilowatt hours for comparison, which we did, the Juneau rate is, far cheaper The people of Wran- gell do not get as much electricity | for their money as do the people | of Juneau.
