Like everyone else's expenses, ours are op. Out tax bttt thts year wtH bt
the largest in our history. Materials, too, have advanced and so have all
other operating expenses. This makes it more difficult to reduce electric
rates. But our aim has always been to furnish you the very best In
electric service at the lowest possible rates. Through the cooperation
and efficient services of our employees, and because of the increased use
of electric service by our customers, we are now able to furnish you
cheaper electricity than ever before. California Oregon's rate reduction,
effective last February first, saves $325,000 for its customers each year.
Your electrical dollar now buys twice as much electric service as does tht
electrical dollar of the average American family.
