equal credit for the $325,000-a-year
reduction in rates.
Improvements Made
"Improvements in the capital
structure of the company, begun
in 1942 and completed last year,
resulted in substantial savings in
interest charges which were
passed on to our customers in
the rate reduction," Cummins
said.
"Our customers are electrical
ly minded, and by Increased use
of electricity have helped ma
terially to bring about a reduc
tion in their own rates.
"These factors and careful op
eration of the system have offset
the large increases in taxes,' in
materials and in operating casts,
which have come during recent
years. Company employes have
done an outstanding Job of ef
ficient operation of the system
under difficult conditions."
Cummins also revealed that
studies already had been started
looking toward the next reduc
tion in rates. "We do not know
when it will be possible to make
subsequent reductions," he said,
"for that will be determined
largely by the progress of the
war and by other factors outside
our control. But we intend to
be fully prepared when the time
comes and I hope K will not be
too long in coming."
