Texas Power 4 Light Company has a
long, solid history of providing its
customers with reliable electric power at
the lowest price consistent with good
service. The Company wants electricity
to always be one of the biggest bargains
in your budget
However, there are circumstances
beyond our control which indicate future
electric rate increases are inevitable.
Higher Cost of Fuels The diminishing
supply of natural gas and fuel oil has
pushed the prices of these generating
plant fuels to new highs and is
significantly increasing the cost of
producing electricity TP&L's fuel bill was
over $40 million last year, 30% higher

than in 1971, and it's expected to be even
higher in 1973.
Higher Cost of Construction Because
of today's energy crisis, new generating
plants must be built to operate with other
fuels, such as lignite and nuclear
matenals These plants are much more
costly to build than gas-fueled ones, but
to assure you an ample supply of electric
power in the future, construction of new
facilities is essential - and must be done
even though TP4L faces additional rising
. costs for labor, materials and land.
Higher Cost of Financing The rising
cost of money needed to finance new
plants and other facilities has been
increasing at a staggering rate.
All of these circumstances are beyond
our control - and they make producing
your electricity much costlier than ever
before. However. TP4L will continue to
use every practical method and every
possible efficiency to keep the price of
electricity low and still provide you with -
dependable electric service in the
years ahead.

Says Jon Crews, 26, mayor
of Cedar City, Iowa There's
a lot to put up with, but if you
learn you can do good things '
One of the good things he's
learned, as example, he says,
was how to stop a superhigh-
way from being built through
the center of his town Among
other strategies he turned in
his driver's license to indicate
the auto was not as critical as
the engineers, Teamsters and
asphalt companies insist
To be sure. this learning
process can be risky. Michael
Obuchowski, 26, member of the
Vermont legislature, says he
got into politics because he
felt it needed cleaning up
Now he fears Maybe I'm
not so clean as I thought I
was " Obuchowski says he's
found himself voting for bills

he dislikes Compromise, he
says. is the name of the
game, ' but I can see how you
might compromise yourself
into dishonesty."
Obuchowski, however in-

you do trade one vote for an-

clear why you're doing it."
Finally says Ms 0 Conner
from San Diego, if an official
ever finds himself slipping far
away from principal, ' the
thing to do is get out of of-

On the contrary, says Ruth-
erford. "I think most young
