As the sale began to grow the ele- |
tric dealers began to feel better, ln!
fact, they went to the commission‘
and said they wanted to cuopt»rutc.‘
instead of combatting the campaign.
They found that the sale of stoves
and heaters inereaced the demandl
for various eclectrical appliances, and
their business hegan to pick up rv:-‘
markably. They found in people in
more than ordinary cir(.'nm:ztancct;l
customers for stoves and heaters|
when the fever began to spread.

cooking with cleetricity were paying
a rate of two cents per k. w. b,
while the ¢lectrie light rate was 7
cents per k. w, h. Big consumers of
power, however, reccived the bene
fits of a sliding scade, But in order
to avoid the use and extra expense
of two meters the commission fig
ured out a one-meter plan and es
tablished a rate of 7 cents for the
first 26 k. w. h., b cents for the next
40 k. w. h, and 2 cents for all over
that., This rate applies to electric
current used for both lighting, cook
ing and heating and, as it happen
ed, it proved to be exactly the cor
rect rate.
Special Rate For Large Users
There are gpecial rates for restau
rants and bakeries and thoge resid
ing outside the city limits who are
using electrieity have advantage of
a low rate,
Jacksonville boaste of having the
lowest electric rates in the country.
Its electrie plant is known through
out the United States as the model
clectrie plant. Since its construction
it has been producing more and more
revenue, In 1922 the plant netted
the city nearly $500,200. This was
over and above all expenses, It was
clear profit. It was hard even for ex
perts to believe, but the figures
didn’'t lie, and the eity had the
money.
The commisgion rncws that the
more’ electricty there is =old the
preater will be the earnings of the
plant. That will mean the reduction
of taxes.
Preparations weve made to almost
double the capacity of the electric
plant. Improvements estimated to
cost approximately $850,000 were

contemplated, and a contract enter
’ ed into at an early date. The im
!provcments were paid from pthe
' plant’s earnings, They did not float
| bonds with more tar burdens added.
| The electric plant ‘s under.the su
!porvir:ion of Frank ¥H. Owen, com-
E migeioner of public utilitieg, to whom
:h credited the guccess of the elee
| tric campaign, to whom the city
i looks for even bigger things.
| Commissioner Owen has suided the
: campaign form its beginning. He has
i encountered many oistacles, bui
with the full cooperation of the oth
' er members of tie board he had
overcome them.
! Eleetricity for coo «agr and neating
ih'm come to stay in Jacksonville,
| Within a few years there will be few
| homes using other fuel, it is believed.
! Because, as Commissioner Owen says
| from both theory and practice, it is
i much cheaper, cleaner, and better
; all the way around,
' “T would just as soon go back to
' an oil lamp as to give up my elec
tric stove,” he gays. And every
! farm in Crisp county may have these
