For many years our company has followed a policy of giving to our customers the immediate benefits, on their electric bills, of savings we have been able to make. As quickly as possible these savings are passed on in the form of lower rates. Since 1927, twenty rate re ductions have been made. The Record of Our Reduc tions In Last 10 Years ▼ While the cost of living has gone steadily upward, the cost of electric service has been steadily reduced.

In 1935 they had risen until they amounted to 21.3c per dollar of our revenue. Labor, materials, all other costs of operation have in creased, also. But our customers, realizing the comforts and conveniences of mod ern electric service, have increased their use and thus helped us reduce the cost of producing electricity. This, combined with careful man agement, new methods and im provements, has enabled us to keep pushing rates lower— always low er. Today, Idaho Power’s rates are among the lowest in the United States. I D ¿C A H O j ?
