Ask Reduction
For Cooper In
Electric Rate
A reduction in electric rates for
Cooper and other surrounding
towns serv by Texas Power and
Light Co. has been made avail*
able by a recent new rate reduc-
tion by Texas Power and Light
Co., says Manager Wayne Whit-
tington.
Paris, Clarksville, Honey Grove,
Ladonia, Sulphur Springs and all
other towns served by T. P. and
L. will enjoy this new savings on
electric rate except Cooper, where
the rate is fixed by ordinance re-
quired when the municipal plant
was installed in 1934. In Com-
merce where they have a municipal
plant the new rate will go into
effect July 1.
Mayor Rountree, wfiep seen,
said that the City would make a
rebate of 16 per cent on electric
bills this month, as required by
the government on plants using
the Denison powerplant current.
He said that he had phoned city
officials at Commerce and that
they said they had made no re-
duction in electric rate.
This is the second reduction in
electric rate made by Texas Pow-
er and Light Co. in recent years,
which has been made possible by
Increased volume of business and
availability of electric energy from
the Dci.I. c,n Dam powerplant.
These reductions amount to an
average of about ten per cent, and
other reductions will likely bO
made in the not distant future.
On an estimated expenditure of
$5,000 to $7,500 for electric ser-
vice in Cooper monthly, this new
yate would effect a saving of
$500 to $750 monthly for Cooper
consumers.
After considering an application
of Wayne Whittington for author-
ity to install the new rate, the
Cooper City Council has notified
Mr. Whittington that it cannot
reduce the rate at this time but
may do so at a later date when
current is available from the Deni-
son powerplant.
Below is a comparison of the
rate now in effect and the new
rate which Texas Power and Light
Co. is asking to charge in Cooper:
