The overall cost-of-living went up another 1940. 4 points—now stands 23% above 1941 0942 0943 on going down in price. In 1943, we received an average of only 2.03 cents a kilowatt-hour for residential service—the low est in our history. BUT ELECTRICITY kept I’M THE : a ÏTLE GUY ON THE RIGHT! ■uh 19% LESS THAN 1940. That is how our 1943 aver age household rate compared with the pre-war figure. While other prices were going up, the price of electricity went down! 44% LESS than the national average! Our average household rate is just about half the U. S. na tional average. PP&L has been in the front ranks of the low-rate parade for years. TAXES UP 38% We’re proud of the fact that in 1943 PP&L met fully the electric service needs of our 91,365 customers in the two great states of Washington and Oregon. — e_ OUR TAXES IN 1943 reached an all-time high of $1,313,000. We paid bach to the public, in the form of taxes, almost as much as was paid to all the men and women who have invested their money in the development of this business. UNCLE SAM GOT $726,000, or more than 55%. of these taxes. This money, along with the Federal taxes paid by you and your neighbors, goes to help meet the urgent needs of a nation at war. /940 /943 THIS $1,313,000 tax bill was more than one-third greater than we were called upon to pay in 1940 — which makes the 19% drop in the average price of electricity all the more significant. 17% CENTS out of every dollar we take in now goes for taxes—yet we're selling electricity at the lowest price in the 33 years we've been build ing up this business enterprise. PPAL's low fates were not achieved at public expense! We’re proud of the 743 men and women of the PP&L organiza tion who managed to keep your electric service running smooth ly and dependably throughout 1943 in spite of wartime problems. We're proud of the 112 PP&L men and women who are away in the service of their country—and we pledge ourselves to keep right on working and fighting to preserve for them at home the freedom and opportunity they are fighting for overseas.
