3
reasons
for higher
electric bills
If you're like most Texas Power & Light
customers, the amount of your electric bill
inTfeCent months, and perhaps this month,
is higher than it was at the same time last
year.
There are three reasons why.
One major reason is increased usage of
electric power. Air conditioning alone can
account for a sizeable increase in your bill.
During the'Summer of this year, there were
many more days with temperature readings
of 100 degrees or more than in 1973.
A second reason is that in March of this
year the rising costs of producing and
supplying electric power made it necessary
for TP&L to obtain increases in the price of
electricity.
Also, the amount you pay for electric
service is subject to an adjustment based on
the price TP&L must pay for the fuels
needed to generate electric power. Our fuel
costs are now more than 80% higher than
they were last year and this increased cost
is reflected in your bill.
Texas Power & Light has always worked
to keep the price of electricity as low as
possible, consistent with maintaining
adequate and dependable service. We will
continue to do so in the future.

Thi* I* The
Church of Christ
Christianity is that which is
the product of God's will. God’s
will is that people follow Christ,
submit to him, obey him, thusly,
becoming Christians. The
principles of Christianity are
found in the New Testment ot
our Lord. There are three
parts:
Facts to be believed by
mankind, Commands to be
obeyed, and Promises to be
received and enjoyed.
The facts of the gospel (which
produces Christianity) are the
death, the burial, and the
resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1
Corinthians 15: 1 thru 8. We
can either believe or disbelieve.
It’s up to us. To believe, along
with obedience, saves us, Mark
16:16. The commands to be
obeyed are numerous but simple
and beneficial. Twenty one of
the twenty seven books of the
New Testment tell peoplfc how
to live the Christian life, after
primarily obeying the gospel of
Christ. An example is I
Corinthians 15:58, ‘‘Be ve
steadfast, unmovable, always
abounding in the work of the
Lord...” The promises of the
gospel are preponderant. An
example is recorded in Revela-
tion 2:10, ’Be thou faithful unto
death and I will give thee a
crown of life."
We will receive the blessings
of God. the wonderful promises
if we believe the facts and obey
the commands! Dear friend,
won’t you study the New
Testament, follow it and live
forever! May we be of service?
May the Lord bless you and
yours!
