How do their costs compare with those in other cities across the country? A survey of residential elec tric rates, covering 4,820 cities in the United Stales, has jusl been released by the Federal Power Commsission. It shows that the costs vary widely be tween communities. They are affected by such factors as the kind ol area Involved, Its compactness, t h e distance from sources of fuel and the type of ownership of Ihe utility. As of Jan. 1, 1960, the typical electric bill in Mcd ford for 100 kiolowatt hours of current, w h I c h is an amount thai provides lighting, refrigeration and small ap pliance operation, was $3.80 month. Average Cost In the other cilies, the re port stales, the average cost for this quantity was $4.00 per month. For 250 kilowatt hours, which Is closer to the amount that most families use, the typical Mcdford bill was $8.90, as compared with $7.44 elsewhere. The range In this category Is considerable. It goes from a low figure of $3, in Eugene, Great Barrington, Mass. For the households in Mcd ford that consumes current at the rate of 500 kilowatt hours a month, which takes care of lighting, cooking, air condi tioning and the normal small appliances, local bills came to $10. The average, in the rest of the country, was $10.62 per month. The use of electricity In the American home continues to increase, according to the findings of the Edison Electric Institute, People are contin ually reaching out for more and more of the creature com forts available to them. These include room coolers and oth er air conditioning equipment, dish washing machines, elec tric blankets, freezers and the host of others. During 1960, the average family used 6.4 per cent more electric energy, it states, than it did in the prior year. In Medford's regional area, consumption rose from 8,367 kilowatt hours to 9,087, a 8.6 per cent rise. FORMER BANKER DIES San Francisco - tUPH - Frank F.
