LOWER LIGHT COST
IS SHOALS SCHEME
WASHINGTON, .Sept 14
(AP) As a part of the federal
experiment to see whether the
light bills could be cut tor Am
erican households, the Tennessee
valley authority today outlined
a list of rates for Muscle Shoals
power that were just a little
more than halt of the average
power rate for the nation last
year.
The authority, the first of the
governmental agencies by which
President Roosevelt proposed
that power costs be measured,
set rates that called for a re
sale maximum of three cents a
kilowatt hour.
"For the typical general con
sumer, this is., an -average of
about two cents a kilowatt hour,
said David Llllenthal, a member
of the authority, "and for a fully
electrified home which is our
objective the rate would aver
age seven 'mills per kilowatt
hour. '
The average August utility
rate for the country was just
under 6 eents a kilowatt hour
for domestic users. It compared
with an average ot around S
cents charged consumers by the

ment owned concern.
