Master Six Sport sedan, is an
nounced by Chevrolet- It is a
four-door, five passenger sedan

ures os appearance and equip
ment distinguish it from other

The newest Chevrolet has the
appearance of increased stream
lining. through the adoption of a

Free Electricity
We haye heard a great deal >n re
cent years concerning newer without
cost to the taxpayer. Now it comes to
light that in some cases private elec
tric induttry is providiag exactly that
—free household electricity
Take for example a utility system
where taxes paid amount to more
than the entire gross revenue from
residential customers. Every cent
so paid by domestic users goes to
school districts, towns, states, Federal
government.
Irwinton, Wilkinson County, Georgia.
As a result, the dollars paid for
power by the householder come back
to the public in the form of govern
mental services. They maintain
schools, erect public buildings, par
the police and fire departments--and
help pay aa well for the multitudinous
experiments all units of government
are now conducting.
This, oficourse, is an unsual instance.
But it serves to show how heavily the
utilities are taxed. It is said that
they are now paying to the taz col
lector more than fifteen per cent,on
the average, of all the revenue they
receive. In the face of constantly
mounting taxation, they haye done a
magnificent work in keeping down
the cost of power to the user. They
have done a great deal more than all
the municipal plants ever built, to
reach the ideal of “power without
cost to the taxpayer.’’
