Nowre d cash Divide electric you have on your © Early next month you will receive a check like this for your share of a $300.000 "rate dividend" to all PP&L electric customers. The amount of your dividend will be approximately one-half of your aver age monthly electric bill—and it will be paid by check and not merely a credit on your next bill. We are taking this unusual step because there is an unusual condi tion to be dealt with. The war is causing an abnormal demand for electricity at many places on the PP&L system. Just as a few ex amples, we are serving new war industries, commercial businesses, air fields, training camps, naval bases and supply depots. And besides serving electricity to all our regular customers, PP&L has been called upon to furnish electric ity to a sudden influx of new families in the neighborhood of all these war- caused activities. All this has result ed in an unusual increase in our total volume of business. You and all the other users of our electric service have a right to share in the benefits of this extra business while it lasts. The question has been “What is a sound way of distribu ting these benefits?” After thorough investigation, the Washington Department of Public Service and the Oregon Public Utili ties Commissioner have approved this “rate dividend” plan as a fair and practical way to meet a war time situation. The check you receive as your share of this $300,000 customer-divi dend will reduce further the cost you pay for electricity—which already is only about half national average.
