At the end of the third full year under the present rates, on December 31, 1931, more than $2,600,000 had been saved by residential customers under what they would have paid for the same service under the rates which were discontinued January 1, 1929. The average price for electric service used by Georgia homes is now 25 per cent lower than it was in 1928—the last year under the old rates. Steadily decreasing as more and more use of the service is made, the present rates have proved so at tractively low that Georgia homes on the average now are using 58.8 per cent more electricity than in 1928. And for this greatly increased amount of elec tricity, they are paying on the average only 18.8 per cent more, clearly demonstrating that the new rates (including the service charge) have been more than three times as beneficial to our customers as to the Company.
