IRATE INCREASE I I
TALK NO. 2 I I
So the Know I
We mentioned in yesterd iv's paper that we among many other fc
public utility companies were asking the Railroad Commission of W
Georgia for an increase in lighting, power and gas rates. K
The reason for this, in a nutshell, is that because of the ab- |jß
normal conditions brought about by the war, the cost of coal, E||
oil, waste, packing, supplies and labor have risen by leaps and m
bound® until now it costs more than half again as much to make ES
' electricity and gas as it ever ha® before. Iv
The average cost of coal alone for 1916 was $3.08 per ton,
while for the six months en ling Oct. 31st, 1917, it was $5.37. This IK
is an increase of 74%, or approximately $1300.00 tPer month. Ife-
Notwithstanding this great 1 .crease in price, it has been almost
impossible to get coal at all and for the past few months we K|
have literally lived from han 1 to mouth. ____ B
On top of high price and uncertain delivery, we have had to
take any coal we could get, and the coal we have frequently re- I .
W ceived has been so poor in quality that we could only make less gB
H than three-fourths as much Gas or Electricity with a ton of coal
K as heretofore While Coal i< by far the largest single item of op- H
111 erating cost, other items hav » gone up in like proportion. B|
||g Every man who reads this knows what cotton has done, for
gg example, and doesn't complain of thirty cent cotton, nor do we. gB
H but even that increase makes our waste cost about three times K
as as much as heretofore. S
IS We are basing our applications for increase rates right on the K
||E increase in cost of those things necessary in the making of gas g||
Mi and electricity, and we are willing to make it a condition as to E
see the granting of rate increase that such increase is based on pres- «
H ent cost of coal and supplies ami the rates are to be adjusted ■»
gi downward automatically as these costs drop. K
||| l^o ok this matter square in the face and put yourself in our g
place. In tomorrow's paper we will give more facts. H
|S Sincerely yours, g
