An increase in the res.dential rate for electric power seems assured this week after the Brigham City council Thuisday ordered a resolution prepared which would put a raise into effect later his month. The residential increase is being tied in with an adjustment in the schedule for commercial users and is meant to bring local charges in line with those of Utah Power & Light company. Council members will consider the resolution on Oct 11 with expectations of putting the higher power rates into effect with the Oct. 15 billing. In connection with the increase, Brigham City will abandon its policy of offering a ten percent discount when electric bills are paid by the tenth of each month. However the city's unique practice of providing free power for porch lights will continue in effert. A city spokesman Monday said t, the residential boost would increase COMING Myron Floren, the avetage family electric bill will be among eight stars about $1 24 a month. He said the from the Lawrence Welk Show to new rate has been drawn on a appear here Nov. 13. parallel with present residential charges of Utah Power & Light company. accor-dianis- Local Building north-of-the-ci- ty Continues THE COUNCIL had hesitated to annex the small parcel for fear that other buildings not conform- ing to the city building code would spring up in the area and also asked to be annexed. The area approved for annexation is commercial property with 132 foot frontage on and 300 feet deep. At present there are two commercial buildings located there with three concerns doing business. The primary reason for owners asking for annexation wfts to Obtain water and other services which the city can furnish but which the council declined to sell outside of the city limits. The property is located immediately north of the Thiokol Chemical corporation material building and east of the city golf course. , Legal procedure necessary to effect the annexation is expected to be completed within a week. 9 THE ADDED revenue is expected to help the city out of its present financial bind. Councilman Olof Zundel pointed out that $65,000 in electrical work alone had to be deleted from this years budget due to lack of funds. Elimination of the 10 percent discount was described as necessary to simplify billing procedure. To continue using the discount method would require purchase of additional billing machines and employment of additional personnel, ' Zundel said. At Thursday nights council meeting, representatives of several local corncerns appeared to discuss the proposed commercial rate change. Some were asking for a delay and others wanted the new schedule put into effect right away. Douglas Fife, head of Fife Rock products and Fife Construction company, acted as spokesman for a group seeking a PsPne-- ! ment of action. This would give them time to study the new rates and determine how they would be affected, Fife said.
