All those who wish to participate par-ticipate In the program are urged to be present The Utah Public Service Commission,' Commis-sion,' consisting of Ward C. Hol-brook, Hol-brook, president, Otto A. Wlesley, commissioner, and W. K. Granger, commissioner ordered substantial rate reductions to users of power furnished by the Utah Power and Light Company of Utah. A year and a half ago, the rates of the company com-pany were reduced materially by order of the commission, at which time all sections of the state and particularly all of those parts of the state served by the company outside of Salt Lake City and Ogden, Og-den, received major benefits from the reduction. The new reduction in rates Is of special benefit to users of 60 kilowatt kilo-watt hours per month or less, and I to the users of power for commer cial lighting purposes, particularly small offices and business establishments. estab-lishments. This, of course, means that rural sections will again re ceive substantial benefits. The total reductions In Utah to be effected by the order will be approximately $125,000 to residential users and $100,000 to users of power for commercial com-mercial lighting. The order is an outgrowth of a letter addressed to the company July 18, 1939 and pf subsequent studies and conferences with officials offi-cials of the company. The order provides that the present pres-ent minimum rate of 90 cents per month for the first 11 kilowatt hours shall be reduced to 75 cents for the first 10 kilowatt hours, and the next block of power will be reduced from 5 cents to 4 cents per kilowatt hour. On the average this will give to consumers who use less than 60 kilowatt hours per month approxi mately 25 per cent more kilowatt hours for the price formerly paid For example: Under the old schedule sched-ule $1.00 would buy 13 kilowatt hours and under the new schedule $1.00 will buy 16 kilowatt hours. Under the old schedule $1.50 would buy 23 kilowatt hours and under the new schedule $150 will buy 29 kilowatt hours. Under the old schedule $2.00 would buy 33 kilowatt hours, and under the new schedule $2.00 will buy 41 kilowatt hours. Users of power for commercial purposes will receive benefits comparable com-parable to those heretofore setforth for residential users. j The commission In its order stated: "... the rate reductions applicable to residential and farm service (those made In 1938) have actually reacted as anticipated, absorbing ab-sorbing the gross amount of the rate cuts and showing an increase both In the revenue per customer and In the total revenues of the company from these classifications. This Information would sustain the commission In Its opinion that further fur-ther reductions can now be made to the benefit of all concerned." Studies made by the company under un-der the direction of the comml; :u n indicate that 54,000 homes will Ur.--efit from the reduction, in addition to the commercial users. The company has ln.cated that the commission's order will be complied com-plied with, and that new schedu!.'; effective on all billings made after. September 1, 1939 will be filed im mecuateiy. j Open 12th The Mutuals of Lehl stake wm open on Tuesday evening, September 12, according to announcement! made Monday evening by memben of the Btake M.

Beautification Committee Express Appreciation The Lehl Beautification Committee Commit-tee desires to express Its appreciation apprecia-tion for the loyal support of the host of home owners and business people who have qualified for our clean home plaques. It Is very encouraging en-couraging to note the growing desire de-sire for clean homes among the citizens. citi-zens. Some of our blocks are be- jglnnln? tc become really present-lable. present-lable. It Is a joy to see the trans formation on our Main street, but much still remains to be done there to make it what a business district really should be. Some of the residence resi-dence sections are becoming very attractive. Many have noticed how even the humblest home may be transformed by the mere removal of weeds and rubbish. ' The power of example Is compelling. com-pelling. One home owner cleans his lot, soon his neighbors catch the spirit and so the movement grows. One may endure seeing his weed patch stick out into the street like a sore thumb for a time, but eventually event-ually he is shamed out and another plaque Is huncr un In a window. There was a time when weedy lots were winked at. but happily that time has passed. Our -citizens are coming to look upon such as a mark of disloyalty to the community and as a decided handicap to those who are striving to put Lehl where she rightfully belongs, among the best home towns of the state. Any city Is no better than the citizens who live there think It Is. If we think of Lehl as a weed patch. a weed patch It will be, but if we think of it as a city of beautiful homes, so it will be. It Is all in our heads. If we think we cannot clean up our homes, they do not get cleaned up; but if, on the other hand, we think we can clean them up. we can and will. The desire is father to the act. Let's all pull to gether now for one grand raid on our weed patches! The Inspection committee desires to urge home owners to notify Mrs. J. O. Jones or Junius Banks when to come to Inspect their places. This committee has gone uninvited to some homes, but It greatly prefers to be Invited. There should be no hesitancy on the part of nronertv owners In extending this Invitation. All the committee demands is that the lot and street abuttinz be free from rubbish and other accumula tions and reasonably free from weeds. If lawns and flowers are present, they should be well cared for. If a lot is in this condition, the committee should be notified. It must be remembered that the com mittee is composed of volunteer workers and should not be expected to make a complete canvas of the whole city each week, searching out the clean lots. Let's be reasonable about what we expect of the com mittee and help as much as possible instead of criticise. M. I. A. IT'ION MEETING SUN. The regular monthly union meeting meet-ing of the Mutual Improvement Association As-sociation will be held Sunday at 2 p. m. in the Fifth ward chapel. Special instructions for the opening open-ing of Mutual and the coming month's wcrl: and activities will be outlined. It is important that all Mutual workers be in attendance. |
