The schedule covering combination combina-tion range service will remain unchanged, un-changed, the rate already being low, Mr. Fleetwood said. In addition to the reduction in residential lighting rates consumers consum-ers also may avail themselves of even lower prices by an increase in use of electric service. Additional Cuts Mr. Fleetwood said in order to encourage the fuller use of service, a new plan makes available to all residential lighting consumers at half price all kilowatt hours used in excess of those taken during the corresponding month in the 12 month period ended with meter readings in June 1935, subject to certain limits for each schedule until the objective role is reached. By way of illustration, a residential resi-dential lighting consumer in Provo uses 30 kilowatt hours in October 1934 and in October this year used 40 kilowatt hour. He would be entitled to the 10 kilowatt hours CHAPTER 1 j JO DAR1EN straightened from the trunk she was packing and regarded re-garded ber roommate with disapproval. disap-proval. "Haven't you any packing to do. Tubby?" she asked. - Tubby Davis nodded. Dark and complacently buxom. Tubby sat on the window ledge swinging her ample legs continuously. At about every tenth crack of high heels against the woodwork she took a chocolate from the disheveled box In her lap and popped it into her mouth. "I've got all of It to do." Tubby announced, making away with a chocolate. "1 haven't even asked Ike to get my trunk up from the basement. But I'd rather watch you. Jo You're so darned Industrious Indus-trious and neat that I thought maybe I could learn how It ought to be done." Jo laughed "Well. 1 wish you'd start. You're making me nervous ind throwing me off form." Tubby'8 legs ceased swinging. -That's the first time you've cracked a smile today. You had me worried. You know. 1 think you actually hate to see school close for lb summer." "1 Jo said. "It's fur. here." The other shrugged "Sure. But vacation's more fun, and we'll all be back Bonn enough." Jo met Tuhhy's good natured eyes, seemed ahotrt to speak, and then went on with her packing, si lent ly. "Well," Tubby remarked, slipping slip-ping down off the window ledge, "1 suppose I'd better 6tart getting my stuff together, at that. Mind If I have my trunk brought up now. or would you rather I'd wait until you're finished?" "You won't disturb me at all. Jo told her. "I'm almost through anyway." She knew very well that it would be several hours before Tubby got around to telephonluc the handy man to tiring her trunk upstairs Tubby would saunter In at the first open doorway down the hall, sit down with ber bo of chocolates, and begin a new conver sat ion. From the hallway there drifted to Jo the disconnected sounds of half a dozen "gabfesta" punctuated punc-tuated with occasional hursts of carefree laughter Her sorority sis ters were all excited about school being over, and about their plans for the summer Only the seniors seemed quieter than usual, possihlv because they realized they had the world to face now and weren't rv turning to the friendly campus And Jo Darlen could understand how they felt, even thouirh this wn only her first year at the unlver sity.

"This new plr.r. including the new low rate is particularly advantageous ad-vantageous to small consumers," Mr. Fleetwood said. "It makes it possible for example, for a consumer con-sumer who for instance used 30 kilowatt hours in October 1934 and who increased his use 16 kilowatt kilo-watt hours over that in October 1934 to make a saving of 26.5 per cent or $1.01 on his bill." A change also is made in the residential refrigeration rate, which provides all kilowatt hours above the included energy in the minimum bill and the 76 kilowatt hours at 4.5 cents per k.w.h. will be 4 cents per k.w.h. Heretofore all energy above that included with the minimum bill was straight 4.5 cents per k.w.h. New Rate Filed In addition to the reduction in residential lighting rates and revision re-vision in present schedules as outlined out-lined in the foregoing, the company com-pany also filed a new, lower, simplified sim-plified objective residential and commercial rate, which consumers consum-ers may secure by increased use.

Mr. Fleetwood made the following follow-ing statement in announcing the new rates: "Ever since the formation of the company 20 years ago, average rates for residential and farm use have been consistently reduced. As a result today our prices for these uses are substantially lower than the national average, despite the fact that our territory is widely scattered and in large areas sparsely sparse-ly settled.
