the use of 500 kilowatt hours

"This is possible because

will tend to keep usage more

"The increased use of elec-

keep the cost of service low,"
Staacke says. "It lets us build
bigger, more efficient generat-

larger investment, but it means
we can produce electricity at
lower cost in the long run.
"By any standard, the cost
of electricity is lower than for
almost any other purchase a
person makes. In a period when
all other cost-of-living prices
have risen, the average price

When you need electric serv-

Certainly this outlook leads to
increased use of electric power,
since the amount used is gen-
erally considered a good meas-
ure of how modern a family's
living is.
“The low cost of electricity
in this area and the step-down
design of the rates also have
been great stimulants to the
use of electricity here. Largely
as a result of the homeowner’s
increased use he paid an av-
erage of only 2 cents per kilo-
watt hour, the lowest price
ever tor this area, and one of
the lowest in the country.
"Two successive hot sum-
mers have been factors, too,”
Staacke continues. "And this
region has led in the control of
climate. Records show that
over half the homes in this
area have some form of electric
air conditioning, ranging from
single room air conditioners to
large central units. This has
Why has the number of elec-

Recause the men who work
from these local service cen-
ters live in the area, they are
thoroughly familiar with the
neighborhood they service.
They know its requirements,
and are able to give faster,
better service in emergencies
because they are so completely
infoi med abqut the community,
its facilities, and its needs.
"The establishment of these
local service centers, with de-
centralization of our const rue-
tion and maintenance opera-
tions, helps us provide better
electric service to this arts.”
explains Karl K. Kreamer, op-
erations vice president of

tion helps assure adequate and
dependable electric service to
each community we serve.”

Hospital Notes
I, PATIENTS - Mrs. Bertha
Families of this area have
increased their use of electric
service by an unprecedented 30
per cent in the last two ytart
alone. This, according to figures
just now available, is the larg-
est increase for any compar-
able area in the United States,
and follows a long period of
steadily increas-
ing use during
the previous 79
year history of
electric service to
the area.
Why this great
surge in the use
of electricity,
staacke which has seen
the area's typical family in-
crease its consumption by al-
most one-third—from about
5,000 kilowatt hours in 1961 to
almost 6,600 in 1963?

Step-Down Electric Rates
Encourage Greater Use
Why do residents of the Gulf
Coast area get more for their
electric service dollar than for
most other dollars they spend?
A principal reason is the fact
that homeowners here use
large unts of electricity
on a (top-down rate.
Tom Standish, managr f
the HL& ...t
department, ex-
plains how this
helps hold down
the cost of your

"The unit of
measurement
used in charging
STANDISH for electricity is
the kilowatt hour. While this
may be an unfamiliar term to
some, it means this: If you
operate your washing machine,
sewing machine, two radios
and television set in your home
for one hour, you use about a
kilowatt hour of electricity.
And the average cost for this
much electric service to a resi-
dential customer is about two
cents.

principle which reduces the
